TObriner's Views

In opening today's hearing
Commissioner Walter N. To-
briner said that:
II want to emphasize that
the problem before us today is
whether the people Of the Dis
trict do in fact require protec-
ton Of their persons and of
their property because of dis
criminatory practices in con-
nection with the sale or rental
Of housing"
In his statement, Mr.. To-
briner, president of the Board
of Commissioners, said the
hearing will be continued Mon
day if the testimony is not COM
pleted by 5 pm. today.
Witnesses today were repre-
sentatives from community or
CARNATIONS, Government Off
Gals and individuals.
Based on the witness list, it
appeared that most of the
statements would urge an "open
occupancy" order for housing
in Washington.
Conflicts Arise
The conflicting testimony
being submitted to the Com
missioners was reflected in
statements from the Rev. E.
Franklin Jackson, president of
the District branch of the Ma
tional Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People,
and George w. DeFranceaux,
president of the Washington
Board of Realtors.
Mr.. Jackson told the Com
misSioners that he was stating:
g. i. in unequivocal terms
that regulations to permit nom
discriminatory use of housing
facilities are necessary for the
protection of lives, linn b S,
health, comfort and quiet of all
persons, and the protection of

Welfare at Issue

The hearing was called on
this question:
Does racial and religious
discrimination in private hous-
ing here endanger the health,
safety and general welfare of
the residents Of Washington?
In ordering today's hearing,
the Commissioners took a long
step toward adoption of regu-
lations designed to knock down
racial and religious housing
bars in the city.
The Commissioners have
been given a stipulated 60
ahead on adoption of anti
discrimination housing regula-
tons for the city.
The qualification from the
Corporation CounsePs Office is
that the Commissioners first
must have found clear evidence
to equate housing bias with
such social evils as crime and
health problems.

Negro Fear
Of Bi-RuciuI
SchooIsCited

Many middleclass Negro par
ents in New Orleans fear that
sending their children to pre-
viously all-white schools will
impose great emotional stress
on them, q Tulane University
sociologist said here today.
This helps explain, he said
why 95 per cent of the Negro
parents in New Orleans who
could have registered Their
children for first grade in in
tegrated schools have not done
so. Some middle-claSs Negro
parents, he added, are even
transferring their children to
private schools to avoid deseg-
regation pains.
DR.. Harold I. Lief Of Tulane
told the American Sociological
Association here today that
.other parents have elected TO
register their first graders in
all-Negro schools because of the
possibility that older children
in all-Negro schools will be
jealous.
Others have a "generalized
fear Of change" while some
Negro mothers in poor, old
fashioned matriarchal families
seem to fear their children's
lack Of advantages will be high
lighted in a desegregated school
Many others, the Southern
sociologist said, express a desire
to keep their children with
friends Of the same ethnic and
cultural ties.
