St. PaulQs packing plants" steer, that lead cattle to the trapped -door, and then step aside and the cattle go to their doom. Politicians have never been interested and concerned about the Negro men and womens terrible subsistence, and forced to exist in fire -trap housing because of being denied the opportunities for employment, be- cause their face is a little darker. Politicians in the Twin Cities were never concerned about the negro until the Cruicial Day, when the Negro, in a military manner, like "Christian Soldiers".. marched to Washington and then the Politicians, in St. Paul, jarred to the realization that the negro was awakened from slumber and the men and women determined for equal rights, at all cost, even to forfeit of their lives, if necessary to reach their courageous goal. The Democratic tarty and the Republican Party, for years have used the negros as a political football, and in return the politicians have skillfully denied and pigeonholed the United States Constitution that would offer the negro men and women the fullest protection of equal rights,which is guaranteed in no- uncertain terms. The 14th Amendment to the U. S. Constitution was enacted solely for the Negros that set the men and women free; the politicians have built a victory - garden around the sacred Constitution and have died a sudden death. YOUR CIVIL RIGHTS All the citizens of the United States are guaranteed by law an equal opportunity to enjoy life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Our civil rights, guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States and the various State Governments, with their amendments, include the right to own property, freedom of contract, equal protection of the law, and the right to vote without restriction by reason of race, color, or pre- vious condition of servitude. These civil rights provisions of the Federal Constitution and Statutes exercise a wholesome influence in keeping out of the Legislation of the different states enactments that might conflict with the Democratic spirit of our nation. By these legal safeguards, the conduct of public officials toward those within their jurisdiction is maintained on a fair and humane level. There are laws of the.United States that often conflict with State Laws, but which secure a fundamental right enjoyed by all citizens. Any person who, by acts done under State Laws, subjects another to the loss of-any rights, privileges, and immunities secured by -the Con- stitutions and laws is lialD e in damages to the person injured. Such illegal acts when performed by public officials, are described as committed under color of law - that is, with a local law to justify them, when actually a Federal Law prohibits them.Cr,O ,RC,,, , L , JaC,,S01,j 261 °E.UN1V'.AVE,CITYa JOINT STATEMENT ON THE PROPOSAL TO ESTABLISH A SAINT PAUL CIVIL AND HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION - BY RELIGIOUS LEADERS r Our separate religious heritages have a common concern for the rights and opportunities for all children of God in our community. Through our religious convictions we hold that all men, regardless of color, creed, or national .or*gin, should be treated equally in terms of employment, housing, and all phases of educational and business opportunities. We feel that the time has come when: these right$ must be given the full support of the entire community. We deem it fortunate that we live in a democratic country whose constitution supports these ideals. While we are not fully,qualified to discuss the specific details of(,'the new ordinance under consideration by the City Council, we caution that it be. a carefully considered so that in the pressure for new rights, other rights are not curtailed. At the same time we want the City Council to know that we fully endorse the general nature of the proposed ordinance. Because we have seen repeated violations of the democratic values of equal rights, we feel it necessary that a bill be enacted with proper powers of a M1 enforcement. While we know we can not legislate morality, and we would not dictate a man's private conscience, yet we know that it is our responsibility to .9 prevent ill treatment and harmful consequence to those who are in a minority;; situation. We must protect the innocent and we must continually insist that "• the democratic system be exactly what our founding fathers wished it to be. 'The time has now come in Saint Paul when a city ordinance must be enacted to ins re that on the local level, civil rights are guaranteed and protected. The time i for this has been long overdue and we respectfully urge our city council to ' finish the business at hand with dispatch. On our part, we assure the Council of strong religious support in the x implementing of the provisions of the ordinance. K Rev.

Those of us in social work are well aware of the cost to society of racial discrimination. Daily, we see the need for action in this field. The estimated Negro population in St. Paul is 12,000 people. ys;! Because this is still at the relatively low rate of 3 -4% of the population, there is stia -1--a cYiance to alleviate many of the socipLl..and'economic---i-lls _of St. Paul Negroes. In the area of housing, for example, we havebee appalled by the conditio s we often encounter, Over- crowded, and owned by absentee landlords, m �y of the "homes" in this area are unfit for human h itation. If we allow the present ghetto to remain it is, it will Tow in size until the problems are insurmount- able. A local Negro newspaper recently stated, "there are at least 10 Negroes coming into the Twin Cities daily, and most of these are not professional people, who will be looking for jobs and housing." Many of the people living in these houses are just as concerned about their surroundings as we are, but where are they to go? Who will sell or rent to them? Where is the incentive to keep their present homes clean and neat when the last vestige of paint and varnish have long since disappeared, the wood is rotting, and the plaster is crumbling? -LI•- It is our belief that only when these constitutional guarantees are actually in effect on a local and personal level will the community be sincerely trying to come to grips with the many social, economic, - and human problems which go hand in hand v.ith second- class citizenship.

I believe the proposed Ordinance to- be most timely, giving St. Paul an opportunity to do) in dignified and orderly fashion what other cities have failed to do without violence and disorder._ In two -respe:cts the proposed city ordi- nance improves upon procedure.-under the state law: in the streamlining of its method which will,help avoid delays which tend to nullify the law; and in the inclusion of the sale of wholly -owned single - family homes within the provisions of the law. Much of St. Paul is made np of wholly -owned single - family homes To exempt them would gravely weaken the law, and would give the city no long -range means :of correcting-and preventing the pattern of racial imbalance which has caused serious segregation.problems as now,re- flected in our public schools.. I feel that the proposed Or once is a forward step., and urge its passage. e 1 St. Paul l/_'>oard o kealtom 202 COMMERCE BUILDING INCORPORATED August 5, 1964 Honorable George J.

The property owner whom the Realtor represents should have the right to specify in the contract of agency the terms and conditions thereof, and correspondingly, the Realtor should have the right and duty to represent such owner by faithfully observing the terms and conditions of such agency free from penalty or sanction for so doing. 5. As to the receipt and handling of an offer in the typical broker - client relationship, wherein the decision to deal or not to deal rests with the client, the Realtor may properly regard his responsibility to be discharged when he shall have transmitted such offer to his client for decision. 6. Upon acceptance by the Realtor's client of any offer, the Realtor should exert his best efforts to conclude the transaction irrespective of the race, creed, or nationality of the offeror. 7. Each Realtor should feel completely free to enter into a broker - client relationship with persons of any race, creed, or ethnic group. 8.

Realtors should continue to condemn any attempt by persons, licensed or unlicensed, within or without the real estate business, to solicit or procure the sale or other disposition of real estate in residential areas by conduct intended to implant fears in property owners based upon the actual or anticipated introduction of any racial, religious, or ethnic group into such areas. In the event that a Realtor's counsel is sought by a client with respect to property situated in an area or neighborhood which is undergoing or which is about to undergo transition in terms of occupancy by members of racial, creedal, or ethnic groups, the Realtor should take particular care to render objective advice and to urge upon the client that the latter decide with respect to the disposition of his property without undue haste and only after sober reflection. On the other hand, Realtors may properly oppose any measures or efforts, which have, or may have, the effect of censoring or abridging the right of a broker fully to advise his client, in such matters, as to all factors which the broker in good faith believes to be relevant to an informed decision by his client. 10. Realtors should endeavor to inform the public, religious, and civic groups that enhanced opportunity for the acquisition of I Honorable George J.

With respect to the Proposed Ordinance, it is the Directors recommendation that in Section 704.02, sub - paragraph 10 in the last sentence thereof, the words, "a single family dwelling and" be inserted after the words, 11 .... rental, sale or lease of." Such a change would put this Ordinance in general conformance with the State of Minnesota Anti - Discrimination Act. Not inserting "single family dwelling" into this paragraph of the Ordinance would, in our opinion, unnecessarily restrict the right of free decision for property owners. It is our policy that as real estate brokers we do not inhibit or promote Open Occupancy Housing, this being a matter to be resolved by the prospective buyers and sellers or residential real property and not ourselves who function as a marketing media; therefore, if it is the feeling of the Honorable City Council that single family dwellings should not be excluded from the provisions of this Ordinance, our position is to request the Council to institute action to present this question to the citizens of St. Paul at a public election.

Except as provided in 74.02 (15), the term "housing accommodations" includes any improved.or unimproved real property or portion thereof which is used or occupied, or is intended, arranged or designed to be used or occupied, as the home, residence or sleeping place of one or more human beings. The term "housing accommodations" does not include the rental of a portion of a dwelling containing accommodations for two families, one of which is occupied by the owner or-the rental of a ro6m or rooms in an owner- occupied, single - family dwelling or the rental or lease of an owner- occupied, single - family dwelling, not defined as a publicly assisted housing accommodation as provided in Minnesota Statutes 363.01 Subd. 11. The above would include all the exceptions provided in the State Statute but omitting the word "sald" relative to the single- family dwelling and owner occupied duplex.

I challenge the view implied in some past Council actions that this kind of leoislation is unnecessary, "luxury" legisla- tion. As a Christian and a citizen, I consider such a statue as necessary a teflection of public policy as traffic laws. It also may be of interest to you to know that an organization of your fellow parishoners, of which I am a member, the St. Mark's Civil Rights Committee, is form- ing plans to attend the hearing to endorse the ordinance Urging you to use your influence with your colleagues to insure favorable action when this measure comes up for council action, I remain Yours truly, __np W • �1.
