Temple ton Staff Writer The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has launched an investigation into the cross-burning and related incidents outside the home of a black family in Lewisville to see if the Fair Housing Act of 1968 has been violated. James Lassiter, director of fair housing and equal opportunity for the HUD Greensboro area office, said Tuesday that the act prohibits anyone from intimidating persons from buying or occupying a home because of'race. Mr. and Mrs. James Stowc of 7S60 a cross on their yard March 5 and a march by persons carrying guns and wearing robes on March 10. Lassiter said the complaint has been forwarded to the HUD investigations unit at the Atlanta regional office. Sheriff Manly Lancaster said a criminal investiaatirm ff>ntinuino irvfrv th#? inri dents at the Stowe home.

Ninety-eight percent of divorced women - receive no child support or alimony or less than $5,000 a year according _to Jthe University of Michigan Institute of Social Research. Christianity can't be the - reason since twenty-seven major church groups endorse the amendment. In addition, Jesus, as an exception to his times, talked to women, encouraged IMHI them to speak in public, - ^iiSj . and two of his closest disciples were Martha and Mary. The draft can't be the -A reason since Defense Secretary Harold Brown has ]m stated that "Registration should include registration,^ I t of women it it takes place.'' It can't be that women already have equal rights . I since there is over three H years backlog of discrimination cases at EEOC. What basic difference is there between ratified and unratified states? There is a significant differende in the median family income. Of the 15 unratified states, 11 are ranked in the twenty lowest positions of the 1975 median family income of the 50 states. (N.C. is 44th) Are the wealthy and businessmen in .these states afraid that with ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment they will no longer have a cheap labor force to employ, which would force the southern states to equator" /'-gr.i anH rather than one of human rights?

The sheriff said arrests were not made by the officer who observed the March 10 parade because the individuals did not wear hoods. The Chronicle mistakenly reported last week that the individuals were hooded, based on complaint reports of "Klan attire." Lancaster said it is a felony to burn a cross and a felony to wear a mask. However, he noted that a person could burn a cross in his own yard without violating the law or march in robesTJmt ? noLiiooded. time since we've had any cross-burnings in Forsyth County." Lassiter said the incident underscores the need for programs such as the New Horizons fair housing program co-sponsored by HUD an*! the city of WinstonSalem. '-This should shock people who said it couldn't happen here," said Lassiter. * . * , . A REENS w MEMOS! THE MSIOPSTO C ATLANTA. SE ?ave tor Atlanta when Wherever \ 7anflu leave.
