Transplants of Bone marrow which produces vital components of the body s immune system Are the Only known successful treatment for severe radiation sickness. Layoff from Page 1 the Reagan administration s argument that Only actual victims of Bias should receive preferential on the Job treatment president Reagan advocating a color Blind society opposes All quotas As a form of reverse discrimination that injures the innocent usually White males. In monday s Caje the Jackson school Board has had contracts since 1972 with the teachers Union aimed at protecting the jobs of Blacks. The agreement required laying off while teachers with More seniority if necessary to preserve the existing percentage of minority teachers in the Public school system. The plan wits aimed at eliminating a Dis parity Between the percentage of Black teachers and Black students in the schools. In 1971, about 16 percent of the school system s students but Only 9 percent of the faculty were minority members. Most of the minority members were Black. White teachers who were Laid off in 1981 filed suit charging the plan violated their rights. While most were rehired they Are seeking Back pay damages and restored seniority. Monday s ruling reinstates their lawsuit against the school Board. Powell hinted the court might look with More favor on racial preferences in hiring and promotions than in layoffs. While hiring goals impose a diffuse Bur Den often for closing Only one of several opportunities layoffs impose the entire Bur Den of achieving racial Equality on partic ular individuals often resulting in serious disruption of their lives Powell said. That Burden is Loo intrusive Renquist and Burger agreed with Powell on that Point but o Connor did not join in that part of Powell s opinion. The remaining affirmative action cases pending before the court involve fire department promotions in Cleveland and membership in a predominantly White Sheet Metal workers Union in he new York City area. In the Cleveland Case a Federal judge issued a consent decree calling for half the promotions in the fire department to go to qualified minority candidates. In the new York City area Case a Feder Al appeals court ordered the Union to in crease its non White membership to 29.3 percent by August 1987. The Reagan administration has made All three cases crucial tests for the future of affirmative action in the american work place. Civil rights groups and others Argive that flexible numerical remedies Are often the Only answer to past Bias and voluntary agreements Are the most efficient Way to accomplish that goal. In a dissenting opinion Justice Thurgood Marshall said that while layoffs May be unfair the Jackson plan does not violate the Constitution.

The idea he says is Loci Vili Anize every major Marine mess Hall within the United states the plan will not change the status of marines who Are trained As Cooks Bakers and butchers.

When la comes to up duty marines have Long been the Odd men out compared to their military Brethren. While there Are exceptions particularly at Boot Camps the army Navy and air Force began the switch to civilian workers years ago. Indeed Mast air Force mess Halls Haven t had any airmen routinely drawing up duly for some two decades. The army began using civilians in 1975 and is now about 95 percent through says maj.
