DR.. Kirsch studied an area Of
Washington known as Spring Val
ley. It's q swank part Of the city
and includes among its residents
many senators, politicians and
other public figures.
The surprising results Of the
study show that a majority Of the
residents In this community, who
are compelled to sign a "restric-
tive covenant" before buying q
home, do not support the practice
at all.
In making public the results the
ADJ said It shows additional evil
dence that such religious restric-
lions are largely imposed by real
estate developers and agents"
Most of the residents Of this area
(5s per cent? said they were per-
fectly willing to have Jewish neigh
bors. But there were IL per cent
who said they were not. The others
were don't knows.

A POCKET OF PREJUDICE
Even though So per cent might not
think in raciaIly restrictive terms
at all, the IL per cent loom large,
because they talk in ugly language
and behave in the same manner.
In q statement accompanying
the KirSch study the ADJ made
this rather pertinent observation:
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1960-01-22

The Spring Valley Poll is an
other confirmation Of what we
have found to be generally true:
the great majority Of Americans
are perfectly willing to have Jew
ish neighbors. But In Spring VAL
ley the majority permitted them
selves to be led into-and thus
support-an offensive restrictive
system, imposed by the real estate
developer to initiate realty values
through a synthetic exclusiveness.
However, there were a few not
able exceptions who found the COW
enant 80 distasteful that they re-
fused to accept the deed until
the covenant was deleted."
The prejudiced minority, the
ADJ added, was larger than Is
generally found throughout the ma
ton"
The realtors who have developed
Spring Valley are w. c. and A. N.
Miller. Their practices have been
a source Of controversy for many
years. In fact back in 1857 when
the American Red Cross tried to
buy a home for Gen. Alfred Gruen-
Their the company refused to sane
ton the sale, minus the racial COW
enant.
In concluding his study DIR.
Kirsch made this comment:
"A significant percentage Of the
don't knows and refusals to an
swer may well belong in the mo-
category, but It would be unsafe
to make a more specific inference.
yet no one said he would move
II the covenant were dropped.
Therefore, the claims Of the realty
companies that they are giving the
customers what they want seem
to be largely groundless. They are
making q, discriminatory pattern,
rather than rejecting one"

Just that. The League financed a
study by DR.. Arthur D. Kirsch,
a consulting psychologist and form
er associate of the Gallup Poll. It's
title was Attitudes Of a Restrict
ed Community Towards Its Cow

tober in The Journal Of Psychol-

The conclusions make fascinat-
ing reading, particularly at this
moment when anti-semitic out
breaks in Germany still remain I'm

Korean MINISTER
To Ask U. S. Aid

SEOUL, Korea, Oct. 40 (AP) l..
South Korean Finance Min
lister Kim Yung-sun left yes
terday for Washington to con-
fer with American officials on
United States economic aid to
Korea.
Mr.. Kim said among matters
to be discussed are a proposed
realistic" dollar-hwan ex-
change rate and the Korean
request for additional ai6 funds
to counter an inf1ationary trend
that may be touched of by
revision Of the rate.
The present official exchange
rate is $50 hwan to the dollar
The South Korean government
is proposing a triple rate sys-
tenn, with 1000 hwan per dol
lar as the basic official rate
The United States Government
repeatedly favors a higher ex-
change rate of around 1900
hwan to the dolla1.
The official exchange rate af-
fects the amount of local hwar
currency that accrues from the
sales of United States aid
financed imports of goods. Such
counterpart funds are mostly
left with the Korean govern
ment for use under joint
United -States-Korean supervi-
sion.

When Mr.. Sendwe refused to

At dawn the door was opened.
The screaming soldiers swooped

AS Mr.. Sendwe and Mr.. Kali
koni were led out of the hotel,

Ghana troops deployed around
the entrance. The Ghanaians
did not intervene as the two
men were pushed into q jeep

In Mr.. Sendwe's room the
soldiers found a brightly pol
iShed army officers sword, an

Reds Threaten
To Boycott
Arms Debate

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.
Oct. 19 (AP).-The Soviet
Union today threatened to boy
colt the U. N. disarmament
debate If the United States and
its allies insist on pressing
Western arms reduction plans.
Soviet Delegate valerian A.
Zorin said. THE Soviet Union
will not participate in such a
waste of time"
Opening the disarmament de-
bate in the General Assembly'S
s9-nation political committee,
Mr.. Zorin rejected the West
ern proposals as a danger to
peace. He accused the West
Of pursuing policy of pro-
crastination and Of further ag-
gravating international peace.
The Soviet delegate blamed
the West for the disarmament
deadlock, charging that the
Western powers were using the
arms talks as a screen to cover
up efforts to organize an inter-
national espionage system.
Linked to u. N. Plan
Mr.. orin linked disarmament
with Soviet Premier Khru-
shchev's demands for re-organ-
ization Of the U, N. Secretariat
He asserted that it would be
impossible to establish an inter-
national police force as long al
1.-The executive machinery of the
United Nations was headed by
one man who in all cases car
express the interests Of only ont
group of states"
Mr.. KhruShchev had de.
manded that the Office of Sec.
retary General be replaced by 9
three-man board. including rep
resentatives of the Communis
bloc. the Western countries anc
| the committed nations.
Mr.. Zorin urged the politica
committee to get down to bust
ness at once on the task o
working out an internationa
disarmament treaty along thl
lines Of a draft submitted las
month by Mr.. Khrushchev. ThiI
approach already has been re
jected by the West.
Hits Geneva Talks
In making his threat to boy
colt the committees discussion
Mr.. Zorin declared that hi
delegation would not participate
if the Western powers pres
their own plans because tn,
work of the committee will be
