NAACP Hairs
Eviction Of Family
For RocioI Bios

The Minneapolis NAACP sue,
cessfully concluded a month OF
investigation into a case OF
housing discrimination this
week by convincing the accus-
ed real estate broker to adopt
an open policy on some 200
rental properties in the City OF
Minneapolis.
Accused was the Bar-Ett Realty
company, 1925 Minnetonka blvd,
and its owner, Zollie BaretZ.
The case was brought to the at
tention of the Mill City NAACP
branch early in August by Mrs.
Mary Daniel, 800 Irving Av. N,
who accused the Barrett company
of discrimination at the Irving Av.
address.
Mrs. Daniel. who is white and
is separated from her Negro hus-
band, applied to the Barrett COM
pany for the rental of the empty
apartment at 800 Irving Av. N.
The company, in turn, rented the
apartment to her but without the
knowledge that she was the mother
of four children, ages one and one
half to six years of age, by her
colored husband.
Shortly after moving into the
apartment. Mrs. Daniel received
a letter from the realty company
over the signature of Zollie Baretz.
According to the letter, BaretZ
indicated that when he rented the
apartment to Mrs. Daniel, he did
so with the understanding that he
was not renting to a colored FAM
lily.
Said Baretz, Il have found it
unsatisfactory TO mix colored fam
lilies and white families in one
building. I have colored tenants
and white tenants in many build
ings. but not in the same build
ings."
The real estate man then asked
Mrs. Daniel to move whereupon
Mrs. Daniel referred the case to
the NAACP.
Working as a committee Of
three, branch board directors John
Carmichael, James Luger, and
Samuel Scheiner, executive direc-
tor of the Jewish Community Re-
latons council began investigating
the case.
Together With Rabbi Moses
Sachs of B'nai Abraham Syna-
gogue center in st. Louis Park,
the committee called on Baretz who
indicated his companys policy was
based upon possible frictions to
be created between the mixing OF
white and colored families in the
same buildings" According to Bar
etz, there was never any effort tt
be discriminatory because Of any
racial or religious antipathy. II
essence, said Baretz, the policy
just grew from accepted real es
tate practices throughout the Twr
City area.
The first investigating commit
tee turned the case over to thu
NAACP housing committee twc
weeks ago. The housing commit
tee consisting of Mrs. Eugen
Gould, chairman Of the Mayor
human rights commission, William
Cratic, and Robert williams, ex
ecutive secretary of Mpls. Urbal
League, began a series of concili
atory meetings with Baretz an
announced at the September
NAACP board meeting that effort
by the company to have Mrs. Dan
iel move had been halted.
Scheiner and the Jewish Com
munity Relations council also an
nounced the Barrett compan
would begin distributing form lei
ters to all of its rental propert
caretakers requesting that IN
property should be refused a pei
son because of his color, reHgio
or national origin"
The letter also requests that a
persons regardless of race, cree
or color be shown any availabl
apartments the company Nigh
have.
