Public Housinq
Bias Ruling
Is Upheld

The Supreme Court today
left standing a Washington |
State court decision striking
down as unconstitutional a |
State law forbidding discrinma-
ton in publicly assisted hous-
ing.
The Washington State Su-
preme Court had ruled that |
the law unconstitutionally dis
eliminated against purchasers
Of homes with loans insured by |
the Federal Housing Admins |
tration.
The case involved a white
home owner in Seattle who re-
fused to sell to a Negro. The
ruling was appealed to the
highest tribunal by the Wash
ington State Board against
Discrimination.
The States law made it an
unfair practice for the owner
Of publicly assisted housing to
refuse to sell, rent or lease to
any person because of race,
color, creed or national origin.
The law authorized the State
Board against Discrimination to
issue cease and desist" orders |
which were to be enforced by !
State courts.
Strikes Down Law
The Washington courts, in
striking down the law, agreed
racial discrimination in housing !
was an evil, but took the view
that there is no reason to
suppose that persons with FILA
mortgages on their homes are
more likely to discriminate
against minority groups than
those who have conventional
mortgages or no mortgages, or
those who are purchasing upon
contract"
Chief Justice Warren and
Justice Stewart took the view
that the Supreme Court should
have accepted the case, vacated
the lower court ruling and re-
minded the case to the Supreme
Court of Washington to de-
termine whether the Judgment
was based on an adequate non-
Federal ground.
The Supreme Court also re-
jected a chance to rule on the
use of electronic devices to
savesdrop on gambling activi-
ties.
Five Florida men convicted
on gambling charges contended
that an electronic device was
lowered SO inches down an air
shaft from the apartment above
to the apartment later raided.
Claim Intrusion
They claimed that this was
even more of a Federal intru-
ion than the spiked mike"
used in the Silverman case, a
District gambling case reversed
by the high court last term.
The State Of Florida con-
tended. however, that the low
