ATLANTA - (ANP) - The case
against w. NJ. Aycock, White real

representation" in assuring Negro
purchasers they gould buy homes in
White neighborhoods and take pos
session without any trouble or OBJ
lection" The charges stated. that
the neighborhoods had White people
living in them who objected to the
presence Of Negroes.
Also involved in the sales was j

tons - the outcome of which was a
mistrial - and sought unsuccessful-

licenses on such grounds is expected
to be sought. In addition, the high
