Housing Law
Stirs Question
OF Injunctions

The question of whether the
District Government has in
junctive power to help stop dis
elimination in sale or rental
Of housing is going to be ex-
plored further by the city's
legal office.
1--WE are looking into this
matter because / would hope
we could have both criminal
penalties and the injunctive
power in any anti-discrimina-
ton housing regulations we
adopt" Walter N. Tobriner,
president Of the District Board
of Commissioners, said yester-
day.
Several attorneys who testi-
fled at a public hearing Fri
day on what type of fair hous-
ing regulation the city needs
emphasized that use Of the in
junctive power is vital if the
ordinance is to be effective.
Doubts Authority
However, Chester Gray, cor
poration counsel, said at the
hearing that in his opinion
the Commissioners do not have
authority under existing law
to adopt a regulation provid-
ing for this type Of injunctive
relief.
Joseph L. Rauh, jr., q men,
Der of the Lawyers Commit
tee on Fair Housing Regula-
tons, vigorously disagreed
with Mr.. Gray's Interpretation
and told the Commissioners,
you might as well throw in
the sponge If you're going to
follow Mr.. Gray's recommen-
dations."
Mr.. Gray said yesterday that
''in view Of what Mr.. 'Rauh
said, and since I would not
ignore the opinion Of another
lawyer, I am going to explore
further the Commissioners in
junctive authority"
He added that ut is obvious
that If the Commissioners pro-
coed by way of injunction that
would be fine, and quite ap-
preciate Mr.. Rauh's desire to
proceed by that method. But I
have not been furnished legal
authority upon which Mr..
Rauh bases his opinion that
the Commissioners have au-
thority to proceed by that
method"
Could Not Delay Sale
Attorneys who favor use of
the injunctive power contend
that without it, the city would
be powerless to prevent sale
of a house before q discrimi-
nation complaint against the
owner could be settled.
Mr.. Tobriner said that he
could not say when the Com
missioners will decide what
form Of fair housing regula-
ton to adopt. He added that
the public will be given a mini
mum Of Is days notice before
the ordinance goes into effect
! The Commissioners have
agreed that unless they are
blocked by Congress they will
approve an discrimination
regulation and make it effec-
tive not less than is nor more
than 80 days after Congress
completes its present session,
probably late this falls.

: A new ticket system for vio-
lators Of the city's housing
icode is now being seriously
considered by District officials
f, to step UP the drive against

I. c. T. Nottingham, superin-
! tendent Of licenses and per-
Units, said yesterday that the
system would work as follows:
. When an inspector finds a
/, violation Of the housing code,
.he will hand the owner q no.
..tice stating that II he fails to
.correct the condition within a
prescribed time, he will be
Z. given a collateral ticket.
d. SIS for First Time
. When the inspector returns
and II he finds the problem
A.. has not been taken care Of, the
. owner Ia given the ticket re-
. quiring him to post q $25 col
lateral. The owner then has q
. choice Of FORGETTING the col

. sions.
: II the owner forfeits the col

suitable repairs, he will be

. ing posting OF progressively

. Failure TO comply by the
time o third collateral ticket

warrant being issued for the

BY JOSEPH YOUNG
Star Staff Writer

The White House is display
ing excessive timidity In re-
gard to Government pay raise
legislation.
The Kennedy administration
has taken the unusual step OF
asking the National Association
of Letter Carriers to gauge pay
raise sentiment in Congress
before Mr.. Kennedy decides II
and when to send up proposals
to Capitol Hill for Executive
Act and Congressional salary
increases. The NALC recently
held a pay raise rally and It's
delegates sought pledges OF
support from members of Con-
gress.
Apparently Mr.. Kennedy
does not want to submit such
pay raise proposals unless the
sentiment in Congress is right
for it-and the President ap-
parently has his doubts that
such favorable sentiment exists
at the present time.
Mr.. Kennedy already has
sent to Congress his pay raise
compatibility adjustment pro-
posals for Federal classified
and postal employees. But the
chances of securing these
raises depends in a large part
as to whether Congress will
raise It's own pay and that OF
top Government political off,

The NALC delegates. repre-
senting virtually every con-
gressional district in the coun-
try, not only sought their Rep
resentatives' and Senators
views on postal and Govern
ment employe pay raises but
Executive Act and Congress
sional salary raises as well
The White House has asked
the NALC to submit its tabula-
ton Of Congressional senti-
ment and the tally should be
completed within the next few
days.
Actually the White House
feels that there are lot
more things OF importance
than pay raises pending be.

RUSSIAN ROULETTE -
Meanwhile, some OF the key

postal and Government en-
ploye unions apparently are
playing a bit of Russian Rou-
lette with the pay raise legis-
lation.
With President Kennedy
Federal classified and postal
employe pay raise propos-
ais already having their diff.
culties, although the chances
appear better than they did q
month or two ago. the I'M
ions now are drafting legisla-
ton to "sweeten" the proposed
raises. The Presidents propos-
ais call for a 2 to 26 per cent
raise for Federal classified en-
ployes, with the large raises
going to those in the upper
brackets.
However, a bill to be spon-
sored today by a group of key
members of the House Civil
Service Committee would lib
eralize these pay raise propos-
ais.
Federal classified employees
in the first five grades would
get a 8 per cent raise instead
of the 3.5 per cent proposed by
President Kennedy. Those in
grades 6 through II would get
slightly more than the 4 or
per cent proposed by the Pres
ident, but it wouldn't be as
high as the 8 per cent
included in the new bill for
lower-grade employees. EN-
ployes in the middle and up
per grades would get stable
raises Of up to 10 per cent,
although not as high as pro-
posed by President Kennedy.
The Classification Act. ceiling
would be set at $4,000 instead
Of the $4,000 proposed by
President Kennedy.
Postal clerks and carriers
would get a 90 per cent
raise instead of the 80 per
cent proposed by President
Kennedy.
In other words, the legisla-
ton seeks to liberalize the
raises for lower-grade Federal
classified and postal workers
over that proposed by Presi-
dent Kennedy.
1t isn't that such legislation
doesn't have some merit, be-
cause the Presidents proposals
are based on Bureau OF Labor
Statistics industry pay CON-
parability figures OF March
1862, and industry pay has
risen 4 to S per cent since then
But President Kennedy's
pay proposals would cost q
half billion dollars, and the
