The Superior Court in Sac ramento has rejected demivrers filed by lawers for builders aiid realtors in a case of racial dis crimination in private housing, the regional NAACP office here has been informed. The case, Ming vs. Morgan, I>ending hearing for more than a year, revolves around the theory that builders may not avails themselves of FHA guar antees and VA approval while at the same time denying color ed citizens the right to purchase homes constructed under these conditions,. The Federal Housing Autho rity Manual expressly forbids builders, contractors and real tors using its guarantee to have a race-restrictive covenant on property concerned. Oliver Ming, the veteran-plaintiff, charges that in the absence of a written covenant, the build ers, contractors and realtors of Sacramento jcounty named in his suit have accomplished the same end through a “gentle men’s agreement” not to sell, rent, lease or otherwise convey such housing to him because he is a Negro. ’The suit was described by NAACP , regional secretary- counsel Franklin H. Williams as “the litigation wiiich may open private housing's closed door to Negroes.” Another such case was filed previously by the NAACP against the builders of Levittown near Philadelphia.

Supreme Court decisions against segrega tion in schools, lour Southem- born justices have concurred in making these decisions unani mous. “This took courage,’’ he said, “because the position that they took was unpopular.” As other examples of persons exhibiting courage, Dr. Manley referred to Adlai Stevenson and to the young woman at the Uni versity of Alabama who has had the courage to remain although there have been riotous demon strations against her presence there. “Women college graauaies,' he continued, “have played a significant role in changing con cepts and practices in education, welfare and the world of work.

Both affidavits state: “in ny dismissal the hospital admini^-' trator, Mr. Reed Hogan, had me to know that tliere was nothing about my work that he was dis satisfied with. He told me that because of my activity with the NAACP (or—“my husband's activity with the NAACP”) and definitely because I signed a pe tition asking that the supreme law of the land be obeyed ho'e in Clarksdale, Mississippi, that he must let me go. He said that pressure was brought to bear against him by the Hospital Board and the White Citizens Councils that left him no alter native.” The statements then go on to cite other racially discrimina tory practices at the federally- aided hospital.
