The bill applies to the Federal Government and its instrumentalities as well as to private business. The bill would make it unlawful to discriminate in Federal employment against any Job applicant because of his national origin or ancestry. The Atomic Energy Commission. for example. would be precluded by law from asking an applicant any question as to where he was born. whether he is a naturalized or nativeborn citizen. what his race is. or even what his original name was. It would be unlawful under S. 1728 to request an applicant to produce his naturalization or first papers. Inquiry could not be made as to the racial or religious organizations to which he belongs. The same situation would prevail in the case of private industry engaged in production for national defense.
