By JO-AN ALBERS Assistant Women's Editor Ruth Johnson wants to be a building Inspector. She went to the Civil Service offices in Cincinnati City Hall twice on Tuesday to sign up for the December 2 examination for general building Inspector.

On her first trip her request for an application was denied. The clerk kept pointing to the card describing; the inspector position and saying "males only." On the second trip she was accompanied by reporters and a photographer. That time an application was offered, but she was told It would be rejected and that she couldn't take the examination. woman's right to apply for such a job. The city should be a leader for social justice instead of being a supporter of sex discrimination.

We request another hearing of the Civil Service Commission so that some objective facts can be inserted into the fog of prejudice against women that unfortunately mistakenly passed for a hearing on November 5. "WOMEN are taxpayers and deserve to be evaluated for city jobs on the basis of their qualifications rather than on their sex." On none of Mrs. Johnson's trips to apply for a job as building inspector has she been asked to describe her qualifications, the local council said. Mrs. Johnson says she has 17 years experience in construction work, including employment with the Army Map Service, United Minority Contractors and architectural firms.

Mrs. Johnson, 42, 3123 Maple Leaf applied for a similar post last year and was denied opportunity to take the examination because she is female. She tried to have the U. S. District Court reverse the decision and failed.

The Civil Service Commission has ruled 2 to 1 that a woman could not be a city building inspector, "because of safety hazards for women not faced by men, women's lack of physical strength and lack of public acceptance of women as Inspectors by contractors and the public." At a press conference on the steps of City Hall, Mrs. Linda Reddlngton, secretary of the Cincinnati Council on the Status of Women, said, "We support Mrs. Johnson and any Out Whip New Democratic Democratic whip In his long career in the legislature. CLEVELAND WAS represented in the minority leadership the past two sessions of the assembly four years ago. Frank Porkorny of Cleveland was minority leader and for the last two years Rep.

Gilligan told the House Demo I TOOK driver's training in school in 1966 and received a grade of 97. This was in Kentucky. I have since married and moved to Ohio.

I have heard from several sources that a person must take both the written and the driving test in order to get an Ohio license in spite of already having one for Kentucky. If I must take the Ohio test, must I officially forfeit my Kentucky license or may I keep It in case I ever move back to Kentucky? It is in my married name at my mother's address. May I drive with my Kentucky license until I can get my Ohio license? Where in Clermont County does a person go for a driver's test on Saturday? Mrs. C. Loveland.

Yes, you must take both the written test and the driving test to obtain an Ohio driver's license. Yes, you must forfeit your Kentucky driver's license; failure to do so will result in a $500 fine. Yes, you may drive with our Kentucky license until you are able to take the test. In Clermont County the testing station is located in Batavia: 47 North Second Street, phone 732-1619.

Gilllgan Hearing Set On Plans For Queensgate II A public hearing on properties required for Cincinnati's urban renewal Queensgate II project will be at 2 p. December 9, before City Council in the Council Chamber of City Hall.

Boundaries of the Queensgate II project, as approved by council, generally are from Sixth Street on the south to Lincoln Park Drive on the north and from 1-75 on the west to Elm Street on the east. Like Queensgate the purpose of the Queensgate II project is to rebuild part of the urban center. Unlike Queensgate Queensgate II is aimed at placing residents rather than displacing them. Plans call for a total of 2000 new housing units, 3000 parking spaces, and a gateway commercial development that would link the area between Sixth, Seventh and Elm and Central Avenue, with the central business district. A key part of the plan is a town center projected for the area south and west of Music Hall.

The center would include housing, commercial facilities and possibly various public services. The plan was prepared for the city by a University of Cincinnati team of planners in co-operation with the West End Task Force.

I don't see why the Board of Health don't look in the front halls and see how filthy they are. I still don't think it's right that the old people some of them haven't been on the ground for three years have to try and take their garbage way down to the back of the building. Mrs.

M. Reading Road. The District Housing Inspector reports that orders are pending to rid premises of roaches and to paint the halls in the subject property, says William L. Ahlert, commissioner of buildings for the city, that a "Dumpster" has been placed The Health Department advises in the rear yard for the use of the tenants and that they have no orders pending on the building. The complainant will have to negotiate with the owner if she wants someone to carry her garbage down stairs, says Ahlert.

The Housing Code specifically states that the owner of a multiple dwelling containing six or more household units shall provide approved garbage disposal facilities, but Section 1250.26 fixes on the occupant the responsibility for maintaining in a clean and sanitary condition all parts of the premises which he occupies, uses and controls and for his own misuse of areas or facilities available in common. SOUNDING OFF I have read so much about Kent State University that I'm just thinking why don't they quit whipping a dead horse. It's pitiful that those students were killed but if they had been inside studying like their parents were paying for them to do, it may never have happened. Also, when the National' Guard was called in, what were they supposed to do, stand there and be killed or injured? A rock, a bottle or a brick can cause death just the same as a bullet from any gun. They keep talking and printing about it; as long as they do that, it will never be forgotten.

All the words that could be printed and could be said cannot bring those young people back. I think it is a shame it happened. I'm as sorry as anybody, but Lord, they aren't the only young people that died. There are a lot of others that gave their life for the U. S.

The 14-member delegation from the Cleveland area Democratic stronghold was unable to unify behind a member of the Cuyahoga County organization for minority leader and backed Rep.

Donald Pease (D-Oberlin), who was defeated Lancione. Lancione received 24 votes, Pease and a third nominee, Rep. Myrl Shoemaker (D-Bourneville), got 6. A move to permit Lancione to select his own assistant minority leader was defeated by one vote but choice, Qullter, won anyway, defeating Sweeney 29-16. Lancione and Quilter campaigned for the leadership positions as a team.

Lancione, 63, was authorized by the caucus to select the whip, whose responsibilities Include assuring that Democrats are present on the House floor for key votes and for caucuses. MALLORY WAS selected for the position formerly held by Rep. William Bowen, Cincinnati Democrat, before Bowen was elevated to the Senate last year. Mallory will begin third term In the House when the 109th General Assembly convenes In January. He teaches state and local government at the University of Cincinnati and has a franchise ice cream business.

The snub of the powerful Cleveland delegation could spell trouble for Gilligan during the next legislative session. It also will increase pressure on Democrats in the Senate to support a Cleveland lawmaker for minority lealler there. State Sen. Anthony Calabrese (D-Cleveland) Is a leading contender for minority leader and refuses call a caucus of the 13 Senate Democrats until he counts the necessary seven votes to win the position.

Gilligan pledged his administration will use no "cloak and dagger, no arm twisting or pressure of any kind" on members of the legislature. He also told the House Democrats "if I have an opinion on something, you will not have to guess what it is." The newly elected governor said "I fully recognize I wasn't elected king, only governor" and promised not to attempt to tell the lawmakers what their responsibilities are or what decisions to make."

antly decided to terminate production of industrial plastic laminates, a move that was necessitated by unprofitability of the product line coupled with the need for new pol-, lution control equipment. There are approximately 400 employees at the plant. Taylor said transfer of senior Spring Grove plant employees, about 100, to Formica's Evendale plant already is under way. Closing out of the plant should be completed some time in February, he said. ALL AFFECTED employees and officials of Local 757, International Union of Electrical Workers, AFL-CIO, were advised in advance of the announcement.

"The decision to close the plant will enable Formica to place full marketing emphasis on consumer and building products In the coming decade," Taylor said. "Formica attempted to sell the Industrial laminates business for 18 months in order to keep a viable enterprise, but was unsuccessful," he added. The firm's Evendale plant, with approximately 2000 employees, is the largest and among the most modern laminated plastics plants In the world. Formica has nine plants In the U. S.

and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the American Cyanamid Co. THE COMPANY was founded in Cincinnati in 1913 and has been" located at Spring Grove Avenue since 1914. The decision to withdraw from the Industrial laminated plastics market results from major shifts in the plastics Industry, Taylor concluded. 4 McNally Readies Appeal HAMILTON, Ohio Hearing on an appeal by Police Chief George McNally from his suspension last Friday by City Manager Howard F.
