Howard Warns Against Panic
If the civil right for adequate
housing required better argument;
if more evidence were required to
substantiate the cry for open Oc-
cupancy, both can be found in
Tim Howard and the organization
he represents. In an interview with
your reporters, Mr.. Howard in
Dictated the probability Of panic
a deep concern on the part of many
that INSCRIPTIONS appraisers will
legally force them into accepting
less than their just due for their
condemned homes.
In warning members of the or
ganizaton against panicking, How
ard said: Il have learned that
it is generally felt advisable for
a property owner TO employ his
own real estate appraiser and to
engage his own attorney to pre-
sent his case" to the (Condemna-
tom Commissioners. An apprais-
er would inspect the property be-
forehand TO arrive at an opinion
as to its market value and would
then appear before the Commits
sioners to testify as to his valua-
ton and explain the basis of his
opinion"
Exploration by Real Estate Agents
Many naive but well-meaning
citizens would turn aside with a
grin stories of men exploiting
mans misfortune in the State of
Minnesota this 195sth year of the
Christian Era. But the document
ed evidence of social welfare
agencies can overcome that mai
vete.
From the files of our State
Human Rights Commission comes
this clinker: "a house listing for
S13,50O with a $4,000 down pay

a $4,000 down payment when the
buyer was discovered to be a Ne

According to Tim Howard,
many realtors of st, Paul have
Joined in proclaiming a code of
ethics. Because of the higher pro-
fessional calibre entering the ranks
of realty 1 am sure that such
code does not include discrimina-
ton. Many have also pledged their
aid and cooperation. For these
reasons our organization is pre-
pared to act on the assumption
that Open Occupancy does exist in
st. Paul"
Howard continued, 1T is quite
probable that instances of dis
elimination and sharp practices
will occur. We can't act on gen.

had placed troops OF the Arkansas

out in defiance OF the court order.
Housing has long been the most
pressing problem confronting Ne
