The justices, returning to the bench one man short following a two-week recess, rejected without comment the appeal of McDonnell Douglas Corp., which removed Phillip Houghton from his test pilot’s job at age 52. Houghton filed suit in U.S. Dis trict Court in St. Louis, Mo., and Judge Kenneth Wangelin ruled against him after hearing conflicting testimony by experts on how age can aflect a test pilot’s performance. But the judge was reversed last April by the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The circuit court granted Houghton back pay and ordered him returned to the job of chief production test pilot if it can be shown he remains physically capa ble of “safely and effectively” doing the job. The 1967 Age Discrimination in Employment Act forbids unfair treatment of workers between 40 I The Battalion Classified I and 65 because of their age, but makes exceptions in instances where age is a crucial factor. McDonnell Douglas claimed that exception, but the appeals court did not agree. Chief Justice Warren Burger, who spent the recess in the hospital with a chronic back condition, was on the bench Monday. But Justice Harry Blackman, recuperating from surgery in Minnesota, was missing.
