JusficeD Department Refuses
To Act on Covenant Protest

The Justice Department has re-
fused to act on a complaint Of the
! washington Committee Of the
Southern Conference for Human
Welfare that the Congress Heights
Citizens violated the civil rights
section of the Federal code in pro-
noting restrictive covenants in that
area.
The refusal was contained in a
letter from T. Vincent Quinn, As
sistant Attorney General, to- Joseph
Forer, Of the committee. The letter
was made public today.
The complaint grew out of a
meeting OF some 600 residents Of
the Congress Heights area on No
vember 8 at which cards to be
signed by persons agreeing to for
bid the use of their property to per-
sons mot of the Caucasian race
were passed out. At that time it
was announced that no organization
was sponsoring the meeting, but
that it was a gathering Of citizens.
Mr. Quinn's letter said the JUS
tice Department had considered the
complaint carefully and 1t did not
believe violations were indicated.
Should it later appear more
definitely that certain individuals
are being deprived Of their con-
stitutional rights or that q con-
spiracy exists to bring about this
result, the department will be glad
to consider the matter further" 1t
concluded. -
