Company-
(Continued From Page 1)
ployees and other black em-
ployees who retire In the next
three years will receive a pen-
sion adjustment for the rest of
their lives. The cost Is esti-
mated at $158,000.
Pottlnger said this Is the
first time pension relief has
been granted In an employment
discrimination case.
The decree also requires
Georgia Power to pay between
$90,000 and $100,000 to present
and former black employees
for travel and living expenses
that were not paid for by the
company, although white em-
ployees In similar jobs re -
celved per diem payments.
Georgia Power further
agreed to pay an “employment
bonus” of up to $500 to blacks
who were denied Jobs and now
accept employment offered
them If the pay Is less than
they are now receiving. Some
850 persons are eligible for
the bonus. The payments could
total $425,000, but are not ex-
pected to exceed $50,000.
Pottlnger said this Is also
the first time that a form of
earnings protection has been
granted to rejected job appli-
cants in an employment dls -
crimination case.
The decree calls for a vig-
orous recruitment program
aimed at hiring blacks at all
levels to meet the goals and
timetables.
Yearly goals are set for four
classes of jobs to reach the
overall goal of a 17 per cent
black work force by February
1, 1979. Goals for the five-
year period are:
--Increase the number of
bargaining agreement with
Electrical Workers Union Lo-
cal 84 from 12 to 22 per cent.
—Increase the number of
blacks In the 1,191 clerical
Jobs from 9.6 to 22 per cent.
--Increase the number of
blacks in the 1,832 profession-
al and technical jobs from two
to seven per cent.
--Increase the number of
blacks In the 1,146 foreman
and other supervisory and man-
agement Jobs from less than
one-half of one per cent to
six per cent, with a long-term
goal of 16 per cent.
To meet the latter goal,
Georgia Power will enroll
blacks in its cooperative ed-
ucation program to achieve 10
per cent black participation In
five years, with a long-term
goal of 18 per cent.
If Georgia Power falls to
meet the yearly goals, the Jus-
tice department Is authorized
to ask the court to order the
company to adopt a 50 per-
cent hiring goal In clerical
and union-covered Jobs and a
20 per cent hiring goal In all
other Jobs until the deficiency
has been corrected.
Other highlights of the de-
cree Include eliminating the re-
quirement of a high school di-
ploma or Its equivalent for hir-
ing, transferring, or promot-
ing black employees and ban-
ning the use of employment
tests that have not been val-
idated as job related.
The Justice department filed
the suit on January 10, 1969,
The District court ruled on
September 27, 1971, after a
week-long trial that Georgia
Power had engaged In racial
discrimination but declined to
award back pay or bar the
company’s testing require -
ments. Both sides appealed the
decision.
On February 4, 1973, the
United States Court of Appeals
for the Fifth circuit ruled In
favor of the government on the
back pay and testing Issues and
remanded the case to the dis-
trict court to determine the
amount of the back pay and oth-
er relief. Today’s decree Im-
plements that decision.

Hazards-
(Continued From Page 1)
ted possible health violations.
However, Mrs. Cherry also
must respond to catastrophles,
where she assists In determin-
ing the cause, and to situations
of Imminent danger, where she
evaluates the Immediate risk
to employees’ health.
Currently her activities are
centered primarily on five of
the most commonly used and
hazardous toxic substances --
asbestos, carbon monoxide,
cotton dust, lead and silica.
This concentration of effort
is part of OSHA’s special em-
phasis program, which operates
on the “worst first” principle:
Investigating first the Indus-
tries and toxic substances that
represent the greatest hazard
to workers.
This means that among the
workplaces where 29-year-old
Mrs. Cherry frequently takes
her measuring Instruments and
camera are such businesses
as foundries, auto repair shops
and cement plants, traditionally
considered the province of men.
What Is the reaction to the
only female OSHA Industrial
hygienist In the Southeast and
one of only a handful In the
country?”
“The Initial response In
places of this type,” she says,
“Is quite likely to be less than
enthusiastic, to understate the
case. After all, these people
are not accustomed to having
anyone--much less a woman--
on the premises to check, say,
lead oxide or noise levels.
“However, when they under-
stand why I’m checking and
what I hope to accomplish, most
of them are extremely cooper-
ative,” Mrs. Cherry adds.
Mrs. Cherry points out there
are two big factors accounting
for the extremely small num-
ber of female Industrial hygien-
ists. First, compared with sim-
ilar professions, the total num-
ber people in the field Is small.
“Only a few colleges offer a
degree in Industrial hygiene.
So most people In this pro-
fession earned a degree In nat-
ural science or engineering and
then completed several years
of field work, as required for
recognition by the American
Board of Industrial Hygiene,”
she says.
The majorit of women who
have an educat nal background
that could leaa to work In In-
dustrial hygiene have followed
the more conventional route
and become nurses or teachers
In the medical field, according
to Mrs. Cherry.
How did Mrs. Cherry be-
come Interested in such a ca-
reer? The Atlanta native ex-
plains that her high school
homeroom happened to be a
part of the chemistry depart-
ment, where science projects
were always underway.
“I found these fascinating,
and gradually I became more
and more Interested In chem-
j, *'*!•. CUrry «*p*alria,
A graduate of Atlanta’s Book-
er T, Washington High school
Mrs. Cherry won a four-year
National Science foundation
scholarship to study chemistry
at Clark college In Atlanta, Af-
ter receiving her BS degree
from that school In 1964, she
did graduate work In organic
chemistry at Howard univer-
sity.
In 1965, she began her career
as a research chemist at the
United States Public Health
Service’s national Center for
Disease Control in Atlanta.
Disease Control in Atlanta.
Some seven years later she
made the decision to Join OSHA
as an Industrial hygienist.
“Two things about the Job had
special appeal for me. I like
the scientific approach and In
OSHA that’s the way we do
things ... we actually make
measurements and photographs
to support our findings.
“Secondly, and much more
Important, I find satisfaction
In knowing that my work can
lead to correction of health
hazards and help prevent crip-
pling disorders among work-
ers,” Mrs. Cherry said.
Mrs. Cherry Is married to
an environmental specialist.
Asked if the travel required
In her job presents any special
problems at home, she says:
“My husband travels, too, and
since we’re in the same type
of work, we have had a good
understanding from the begin-
ning as to the adjustments we
both would need to make. But,
when you find your work as
exciting as I do, making these
allowances Is really no prob-
lem at all.”
Deductible--

having become effective as oi
Jan. 1, according to Gilbert G.
Gonzalez, social security dis-
trict manager in San Antonio.
“This means that a Medicare
patient admitted to a hospital
after December 31 will be re-
sponsible for at least the first
$84 of the hospital bill,” Gon-
zalez said.
The 1973 deductible was $72.
Under the Medicare law, the
amount has been Increased to
keep It In line with the average
cost of one day’s stay In the
hospital.
“The $12 Increase to $84 Is
a result of a review of hospital
costs during 1973,” Gonzalez
said.
If a person is hospitalized
and starts a benefit period In
1973, he will be responsible
for the first $72 of the hospital
bill even If his hospitalization
extends Into 1974, he said.
