Anti-Jewish discrimination did not figure in the discussion of the conference on equal job opportunity of the President’s Committee on Government Contracts, Vice President Richard M. Nixon, chairman of the committee, said last night in a press conference. He revealed that all problems discussed at the conference pertained to Negroes. He suggested, however, that other groups were conceivably included in the scope of the committee’s operations.
Mr. Nixon was asked if the committee was concerned with the injection of anti-Semitism in security cases. He replied that this did not come under the committee’s scope, indicating that another Government committee might be more directly involved.
