Although the school board and
administration was not Officially
present, both chairman Gordon
Mikkelson and superintendent
Putnam pledged cooperation with
the FEPC in its investigation and
both defended school hiring prac-
tices.
Mil1kelson stated, I'VE rest on
the judgement in the hands of our
professional staff" in the belief
that our teachers are employed
strictly on the basis of merit and
ability" Mil1kelSon said.
Putnam gave an impassioned de-
fense of Cahlander in his state
ment to the commission claiming,
Il have never found any evidence
of discrimination"
Amos Deinard, chairman of the

steps to in compliance with the
spirit and intent Of the Minneapolis

ance.
CORE urged that three steps be
taken by the school board immed-
lately. They are:
1. Offer regular contracts TO the
three teachers.
2. Open school board files to
FEPC, remove all references
TO race, color, creed, or ma

in the complaint lodged with the
FEPC are: Mrs. Ann McNair, 27
Of 4049 Fifth Av. s., Mrs. Arts
Hopkins, 33, 1881 e. 18th St., and
Mrs. Marjorie Owens, IS, of 1915
James Av. N. Each OF the women
allege that the reason they were
not given full-time contracts was
on account of race.
The Minneapolis School Board
refused TO participate officially In
the hearing because of an opinion
by its attorney Charles Howard
that the school board and its ad-
ministration is not subject to the
city ordinance.
Two school board members were
present at the hearing, chairman
Gordon Miltkelson and Florence
Lehman along with Superintend-
ent of Schools Rufus Putnam and
Loren L. Cahlander, personnel di.
rector whose handling of the cases
of the three teachers is under
question.
During the three hour hearing
Cahlander was accused of making
"racially derogatory remarks" by
Douglas Hall, attorney and former
NAACP president.
Refused FuII-Time Jobs
The prime complaint made by
the three teachers Is that they
have been unable to obtain full.
time teaching contracts in the Min
neapolis public schools because od
their race. All three have done
substitute, teaching in Mill City
schools.
In a detailed statement FEPC
executive director traced the edu'
cation, certafication experience and
reports OF school supervisors on the
work and competence Of the three
teachers.
He cited records he had secured
from school administration files
which Indicated white teachers Of

Committee Urges Saint
Paul City Council To
Enact Housing Law

Katie McWatt, chairman of the St. Paul Minority Group
Housing Committee appeared before the St Paul City Council
Tuesday morning December H. present housing recommend
Paul.
The committee recommended that the city Paul pass
strong fair housing ordinance patterned after state law but
Minneapolis spokesman., 1963-12-19

PATTERNED dlJef the state law but
with none of its exceptions.
The municipal open occupancy
ordinance suggested also includes
an injunctive clause that restrains
an owner or agent from renting
or selling property once probable
cause for discrimination has been
found.
Mrs. McWatt says that this
clause is important since often
during conciliation the property
under question will be rented or
sold and then not available for the
complainant.
No exceptions were written into
the proposed ordinance because
ITO exempt any property for free
access by minority group people
seems fraudulent to our commit
tee" Mrs. McWatt stated.
Included in the commIttee's re-
concentrations was one aslting
the Mayor to instruct the st. Paul
Corporation Counsel TO request the
Real Estate Section of the Office
of Securities of the State Of Min
nesota to take disciplinary action
against local real estate agents
who are found to be discrimana-
tory.
The committees report ALSO
asked that the Mayor and Council
strive to upgrade and renabilftate
all deteriorating neighborh0ods
throughout the city ana endeavor
to increase the supply and im-
prove the quality of housing avail
able to low and middle income
groups.
The report stated that it Is the
intention Of the committee to not
only recommend the enactment Of
a municipal fair housing law at
the earliest possible date but to
further investigate these two
areas.
Administration under the sug-
gested ordinance would be by q
st. Paul Owl Rights Commits
sion which would fulfill the
duties Of the present Fair Em-
plOyment Practices Commission
and the new housing resp0nsfb-
ilitieS.
Following Mrs. McWatt's pre-
sentation, Mayor VaVoulis suggest
ed that the Council call on the
FEP Commission for an evallmtfon
of the proposed ordinance and also
that the FEP Commission ask
Corporation Counsel Donald Lais
for an opinion ON the ordinance.
Seth Phillips, FEPC director
indicated following the meeting
that this could be accomplished
quickly.
A full Council chamber indicated
a high degree of citizen interest IN
the work Of the Minority Group
Housing Committee. This commit
tee was appointed by Mayor VaV-
ouhs in May and has been meeting
regularly since.
Tuesdays recommendations were
the result of three open hearings
held by the group as well as other
investigation Of minority housing
problems in st. Paul.
