Not Guilty;

st. Paul -- Municipal Jud & e
Leonard J. Keyes dism is s d
charges of gambling against q
persons arrested in a raid early
Saturday, July 10, at $40 Kent in
st. Paul.
The q scheduled for trial Sat-
urday, July 20, were freed on the
basis OF a motion submitted by
Jack Wallace, defense counsel, who
pointed out the fact that mo evid-
ence Of individual gambling" had
been presented in the charges and
that the law under which the men
were charged specifically states
that one must visit and bet in a
gambling house to be guilty Of a
gambling charge.
Judge Reyes cOncurred with
Wallace motion saying that
while he felt that the evidence
did point 20 the fact that the
house was being used as a gamb-
ling place there was indeed no
evidence Of individual gambling.
Detectives and police officers
who entered the house in the early
morning raid testified that they
saw a group Of men scrambling to
pick up money from the large table
but did not see anyone in the ac-
tual act of gambling.
Several decks of cards and num-
erous loose cards together with
four sets Of dice-including an OBJ
viously crooked pair--were intro
duced as evidence.
Police intend keeping a close
watch on the house to prevent its
future use for gambling. Many re-
ports indicate, however, that the
place will be boycotted by former
habituees because of the crooked
equipment turned up in the raid
by police.
One Of the defendants, Marion
Dooley Of 500 Charles, was forced
to forfeit S25 bail because he did
not appear until court proceedings
were finished. According to Doc
ley's statement to the court, II

Of gambling was dropped as in the

NY. Housing Bios
Complains Reaeh
70 Since Low
BY samuel P. Perry, 81.

New York City (ANP) DIR. Al
fred J. Marrow has indicated pub
licly that a number Of New York
City real estate operators continue
to violate the Sharkey-B rown-Is-
aacs law barring discrimination in
housing in New York City.
However, he noted, "a signifi-
cant number are complying or are
taking steps to do SC"
The law became effective on
April and since that time the
New York City Commission on
Intergroup Relations (CoIR) has
received 70 complaints, Of which
IS charged housing discrimination
because of race OF color. Forty
four Of the complaints involved
property located in Manhattan;
ten, Brooklyn; eleven, the Bronx,
and seven. Queens.
Most Of the complaintants noted
that they had received false in
formation such as the unit which
they wished to rent had already
been rented and that prospective
landlords used delaying tactics, re-
fused TO accept and process APP
plications, returned deposits.
Other strategems used by land
lords actually renting the property
to members Of minority groups in
Guided the Withholding Of services,
cancellation of leases, excessive
charges, and the denial Of priv
fleges granted to other tenants.
Nevertheless. DR. Marrow en-
phasized the point that several
large cooperative development
managers had instructed their
agents TO cooperate in the fight
against housing bias in the city.

II Is inconceivable that members
Of our state legislature would not
exert all possible efforts TO make
sure that all people Of Minnesota
are given equal rights TO the basic
necessities OF life without regard
to their race. religion or ethnie
origin"
A sharp contradiction exists In
the position taken by the majority
Of the interim commission who
prevailed in a 5 TO vote Last
Thursday. On a motion made by
Senator Anderson, they recon-
mended "that there Is no need for
legislative action at this time"
on the basis OF the evidence that
had been received. the commission
had instructed the staff 70 prepare
report indicating the prevalence
Of discrimination in housing and
noting the need for legislation. The
commissions legal counsel had
been instructed to draft a prop
osed law.
The executive committee Of the
Minnesota Council for Civil and
Human Rights announced plans for
a vigorous and continuing cam
paign TO secure the adoption Of an
effective law against dlscrimina-
