The 100th “unity” subway card to be posted in trains of New York City’s subway system was placed in a train at the City Hall station today at a ceremony attended by city officials and civic leaders. The cards, which are prepared by the Institute for American Democracy, contain pictorial appeals for religious and racial tolerance. Among those present were Protestant, Negro and Jewish leaders, including Justice Meir Steinbrink, national chairman of the Anti-##Defaration League.
