Citizens Organize
To Stop "Panie"
Selling Of Homes

Teaneck, ~. J.--tANP)-- Ne
gro and white families In Teaneck
have organized in an effort TO
stop panic selling by whites be-
cause Of the influx of Negro resi-
dents.
More than 30 families have
signed an agreement not TO sell
and mot for sale" signs have APP
peared in increasing numbers on
more and more houses.
Negroes began moving into the
area two years ago from adjoin-
ing Englewood and thus far 81
families have taken up residence
In Teaneck.
The organized campaign TO
stop panic selling began several
weeks ago. Only SO families re-
fused 10 sign the agreement and
some of these have put up "for
sale" signs. Others have taken
no stand.
The panic was created by real
estate dealers who went to white
residents in the area and urged
them TO sell while the selling is
good"
Many white families became
angry at the shoddy tactics and
began holding block meetings TO
crush rumors that property val
les would decrease because Of
Negroes in the neighborhood.
Help was received from the
Englewood Urban League, Mrs.
Nida Thomas, league executive
secretary, stated.
I'VE want TO see an integrated
neighborhood. We do not want to
see new all-Negro segregated
area and we believe that property
values will remain high and UNI
affected II white and Negro
families now living here can be-
come fully integrated.
The block meetings were called
by white families ito talk things
over and to combat the sell while
the selling Is good" propaganda.
The campaign was climaxed by
the organization OF the Teaneck
Civic conference, which Ii open
TO both white and Negro families,
Fred Link, chairman of the
conference. said the prime OBJ
jective Is indignation OF white and
Negro families. He stated he does
not expect 100 per cent coopera-
ton but feels that much good can
be done.
The conference will coordinate
detectives and activities of neigh
borhood groups and will show
home owners that property values
in the area, which range from
SIS. 900 to $2s, 900, do not decrease
because OF Indignation.
The conference has outlined a
program to plan activities so that
Negro and white families can be-
come integrsted: TO trace down
rumors and bring the truth to
light; to prevent apathy and keep
the press informed and to con-
vince ethical real estate men that
the area Is stable.
