The Chicago star. (Chicago, Ill.) 1946-1948, 1948-05-08
By ISABEL CARR

Will the Supreme Courts
unanimous decision ruling on
restrictive covenants really
wipe out unfit-to-live-in ghettos
imprisoning Negroes, Jews, and
other racial and religious minor
tiles?
The question was on every lip
this week in Chicago city in
which, according to reliable esti-
mates, at least 80 per cent of
available residential area is COW
cred by race restrictive cove
nantS.
A survey conducted by The
Star showed that while civic
leaders and race relations ex-
perts together greeted the deci-
sion as an important victory, big
real estate operators were not
prepared to sign a treaty in the
battle for equal housing rights.
=
Il THINK in a way it's a de-
cision that had been anticipated,
said Newton c. Farr. 81 don't
know If it'll have any serious
effect. In fact, I don't think that
it will make any substantial
changes"
Newton c. Farr has been a key
prepayment of restrictive cove
nants. He is director of Chicago
Title & Trust Co., former presi-
dent of the Chicago Real Estate
Board, member of the National
Assn. of Real Estate Boards, and
the Chicago Assn. of Commerce.
Was Farr right-or wrong? On
what does he base his opinion?
THE Supreme Court decision.
handed down on Monday held
that enforcement of restrictive
covenants by state or federal
courts was a violation of the 18th
Amendment to the Constitution.
But the decision did not de-
clare restrictive covenants, as
such, to be in violation of the
Constitution. In fact, as recently
as 1926, the Supreme Court has
held that restrictive covenants
do not themselves violate the
Constitution.
The fight goes on for the OUT
having of these conspiracies

which are a basic infringement
on the rights of minority group.
WHILE welcoming the Su-
Court decision as an important
victory, fought for by progress
sive forces throughout the ma
ton over period of many years,
Zalmon Garfield, campaign man
ager of the Progressive Party of
Illinois warned:
THE decision of the Supreme
Court on restrictive covenants is
a step forward. but one that falls
short of the progressive goal of
eliminating this vicious practice.
Although this decision means that
If becomes unconstitutional for
the courts TO enforce the cove
nants, it does not prevent land
lords or propertY-owners from

The deathless tradition of May Day-when
the people around the world speak their will
was renewed by 10000 marchers in Chicago, its
very birthplace.
Foremost in the marching ranks here last
Saturday were the striking clearinghouse work
ers for whom the parade marked their seventh
week on the bricks. There were large contingents
from the United Electrical Workers, from Farm
Equipment, whose organizational history went
back to the first May Day in 1886.
There was a mobile barbed wire "concen-

to impose fascism on the American people. Mem

Workers marched wearing shoulder-wide, white
paper collars.
Uniformed veterans heading the parade

past the grimy 26th District station from which
police attacks were launched against Chcagos

AzFAcTS ABOUT
Restrictive
covenants

Usually written. but often
unwritten. the T e strictive
covenant is an agreement be-
tween property owners and
promoters not TO sell or rent
TO any race not on the pre-
ferred" list for the duration of
the agreement = usually SO
years.
Some 30 per cent of Chicago
real estate is thus closed TO
Negroes, Jews. Catholics - or
all three.
Each subsequent purchaser
of the property is supposed to
abide by the terms of the orig
inal agreement.
Like most rackets the cove
nants are not hawked by small
properly owners but by big
profiteering realizes who egg
little owners into signing up

their fascination, particularly for
the female trade.
Just why one woman should
want to pay good money to see
another woman done dirt by some
handsome bounder undoubtedly
has some subtle psychological
significance, perhaps connected
with the attraction which a mas
termful male has for the oppo-
site sex. But regardless OF the
explanations, the fact remains
that the smooth matinee idols
can get by with murder, mayhem
and mental torture and still
maintain the admiration and de-
votion of the fans.
The popularity of James Ma.

Virginia Democratic
Committee Condemns
Truman Race Plans
BY the Associated Press


RICHMOND, Mar. 6.-The Demo-
cratic State Central Committee
today condemned President Tru-
mans civil rights" proposals and
requested that funds be withheld
from the national committee. 1t
commended Gov. Tuck for his
courageous stand against the
Truman proposals.
The strongly-worded resolution
adopted by unanimous vote of the
committee deplored what it termed
the patent effort on the part of the
President and the national Demo-
cratic leaders to out Wallace Wal
lace"
A Virginia Democratic convention
was called to meet in Richmond
July 2, and the basis of representa-
ton was fixed at one delegate for
each 100 votes or major fraction
thereof cast by countries and cities
in the 1945 gubernatorial election.
No Discussion of Motions.
The State executive committee,
meeting Immediately after the GEN.
tral committee adjourned, voted to
hold the funds raised at the Jeffer-
son-Jackson day dinner here with
other party funds until further ac-
ton by the two committees. The
executive committee, whose sole
function is to handle money, had
been requested by the central COM
mittee not to turn the $13 900 raised
over to the national committee until
further instruction.
The convention was completely
harmonious and adjourned quickly
after taking these actions. There
was no discussion of any of the
motions offered.
The resolution said the commit
tee was aware of the political pres
sure on the President from the
radical elements within and with
out" the Democratic Party. 1t
stated, however, that while many
of these policies and proposals have
long appeared in the platforms OF
the Communist and the Republican
parties, that they are contrary to
the fundamental principles OF the
party of jefferson and Jackson, and
| in violation of the rights reserved
to the States in the Federal Con-
stitution."
Political Expediency Seen.
| 1t asserted that the people of the
South have not borne the brunt OF
battles for the Democratic Party
ito be made a sacrifice on the altar
of political expediency." 1t called
on national Democratic leaders in
terested in the success of the party
at the polls to refrain from any ac-
ton which would jeopardize its sue
cess in the South.
Virginia representatives in Con-
gress were asked to seek. defeat OF
the Presidents proposals by every
means in their power. Copies OF
the resolution were ordered sent to
them and to Democratic National
Chairman ]. Howard McGrath.
The resolution merely commended
Gov. Tuck for his courageous
stand against the Presidents pro-
posals without mentioning any de-
tails of the Governors "anti-Tru-
man" bill now pending in the legis-
lature.
Action Is Postponed.
The Privileges and Elections
Committees of Senate and House
postponed any action on the Gov

men are always on these commit

tees, which handle political legis-

tees, which handle political legis-
lation.
The essential thing in the
amended bill is that it reserves to
the Virginia Democratic Party the
right to instruct its electors how
to vote for President in the event
the nominees of the national party
are not satisfactory to the Virginia
Democrats. This instruction would
be given by Democratic State Con-
vention called after the national
nominees are chosen.
In this event President Truman
could still get his name on the Vir-
ginia ballot on petition of 1000
qualified voters.
FEPCl Is Scored.
The resolution adopted by the
central committee was offered by
Gardner L. Boothe of Alexandria.
1t said that under the "so-called''
Fair Employment Practices Act
Federal police might determine the
legality of the act of a citizen in
selecting the agents, employees or
servants of his choice and might
punish him for exercising and act
ing on his individual judgment. 1t
was also stated that the President
has proposed a law which would
limit the right of appeal and de-
prive citizens of the due process of
law guaranteed by the Fourteenth
Amendment to the Constitution.
1t asserted that the races are liv-
ing together in Virginia with amity
and forbearance unknown in his
tory and urged that no act be taken
which would endanger this friendly
relation.
