Hearings Set

Hearings on proposals fol-
antibias housing regulations In
Washington will be held by q
House District subcommittee
beginning Wednesday.
The District Commissioners
have had the antidiscrimina-
ton housing matter under
study for months.
Proposed antibias regulations
were drafted by the city's legal
staff last year on orders from
Commissioner Walter N. To-
briner. These regulations
which called for fines and jaiI
terms for discrimination con-
victions in the selling, renting
and financing Of housing later
were shelved by Mr.. Tobriner.
The congressional hearings
will be by a House District sub
committee headed by Repre-
sentative Whitener, Democrat
Of North Carolina.
The Commissioners held
hearings last December on a
question Of whether there Is
clear evidence that housing
discrimination is responsible
for such social evils as Juvenile
delinquency and health prob
lens. The Commissioners had
been advised by their legal
aides that they could adopt
anti-bias regulations only II
they had such evidence. The
Commissioners have made no
announcement Of their findings
on this point.
