must be good statesmen for
Christ.

San Francisco. 49, Residents OF
the Southwood district of South
San Francisco were triumphant
yesterday in the efforts to keep
their neighborhood 100 per cent
Caucasian.
They achieved this object by the
use of one Of democracy's most
fundamental instruments the Sc
cret ballot.
BY a vote of ia 10 %, they told
Sing Sheng, a former Chinese Ma
tionalist intelligence officer that
they did not want him, his pretty
wife and small son as neighbors.
They did not want the Shengs
as neighbors for lot of reasons,
which added up to one big reason:
the Shengs are Chinese.
The ballots were counted in
garage in the neighborhood. The
long narrow building was crowded
with some 100 home owners and
spectators.
Sheng There
Sheng, a young man of %,
dressed in a double-breasted blue
suit, sat at the balloting table.
His Chinese American wife sat in
the front row She Is pregnant.
Her baby was due TO be born on
February Advantageous birth
day.
The suggestion of putting the
matter to a ballot came from
Sheng himself, after he received
numerous objections TO his pur-
chase of a house on West Orange
avenue last week Most OF the OBJ
jections asserted his presence
would depress property values.
II didn't know about any race
prejudice at all until / came to
Southwood. I was sure everybody
really believed in democracy, so /
thought up this vote as test"
he said at that time.
Before the counting of the bal
lots began, Edward Howden. ex-
ecutive director of the San Fran
cisco Council for Civic Unity, told
the assembled homeowners he had
learned of a scientific study re-
Gently made in the Bay Area an
alyzing the actual effect of non
Caucasian residents on property
values.
He asked II the group wanted to
postpone counting the ballots until
they had a chance TO consider and
discuss this study.
Voices from the back of the
garage shouted this down:
Lets get on with it, Let's not
fool around any more"
Each ballot was tailed aloud,
read by South San Francisco City
Manager Emmons McClung.

The ballot were phrased so
that the home-owners were asked
whether they objected to the pur-
chase of a home in the neighbor-
