the Oregon State Advisory Com
mitlee to the U.S. Commission on
Civil Rights released today said.
The report not an official gov
ernment document also asserted
that there is evidence to indicate
that some small communities in
Oregon bar minorities through an
unwritten law.
Racial problems, it said, are
centered in Portland, and secondly
in the Kugene-Springfield area,
because that is where the greatest
number belonging to minority
groups live.
Furmer Gov. Charles A.
Spiague, Salem, publisher of The
Oregon Statesman, was chairman
of the committee. It also included
David Robinson, Portland attor
ney; Dr. Joel Berreman, Eugene,
University of Oregon; and Monroe
M. Sweetland, Milwaukie news,
paper publisher and Democratic
state senator. Mrs. Ulysses G.
Plummer Jr., Portland, was sec
retary. Discrimination is clearly evident
in real estate transactions, the
report said. It also pointed out
such practices "have been very
evident in 'health studios,' beauty
parlors and barber shops."
These reports from correspond
ents in various Oregon communi
ties were in the report:
"There is an unwritten law that
no Negroes may reside in the
area."
Another reported: "There are no
formal orainances; some say
there are unwritten rules, but it
is impossible to find their
sources."
And another: "Because of some
firsthand exierience with the 'un
written rules' of racial exclusion
in...., I know they do ex'st. I have
heard stories from very reliable
sources that the policy of this city
has been used to intimidate Ne
groes in the city streets after
dark."
There was evidence too that
some of this was the work of a
militant minority. In one city after
a child of a Negro family was
hospitalized with injuries suffered
in a car accident a commitment
to rent to the parents was res
cinded by a landlord, who had
received a threat that the place
would be burned if the Negroes
stayed. The police and a local
radio station got word of it and
found the couple another cottage.
The report too said frankly that
"marketing practices are highly
discriminatory in Portland " The
reference was to real estate deal
ings. "Several spot checks recently
conducted in the predominantly
Negro area in Portland indicate
that about 60 per cent of the nous-
older and less modern
The trend toward the suburbs is
leaving more housing open to
Negroes, but this too is the older
housing. This movement is leav
ing behind the minurity group.
"Scarcely any families," the
repurt said, belonging to minority
groups have occupied privately
financed housing, and probably
Ike Eases Pressure
During Golf Vacation
AUGUSTA. Ga. (AP) President
Eisenhower eased off the pressure
of official duties today on his golf
ing vacation.
There was nothing on tap other
than another electric cart tour of
the Augusta National Golf Club
fairways and a checkup on White
House routine with staff secre
tary Andrew J Goodpaster, who
planned to fly down from Wash
ington for a two day stay.
Wayne Hawks, assistant White
House press secretary, said there
are no plans at present for any
Washington officials to come to
Augusta for consultations.
The President and Mrs. Eisen
hower flew down from Washington
Monday to balmy, spring sunshine.
An hour after Eisenhower land

National with Arnold Palmer, the
new Masters tournament champion.
the grounds that thev fear tb
reaction of buyers and renters."
The report added this fear has
some basis in fact.
A City Club report was quoted
as saying the Williams Avenue
area of Portland, the center of
the city's large Negro concentra
tion, "has a high incidence of
crime, delinquency and disease..."
A study of children in the Elliot
School of Portland, where 98 per
cent are Negroes, showed 43 per
cent had only one parent listed.
In all cases, the lone parent was
employed away from the home.
Three-quarters of the Negro
homes in the Eugene-Springfield
area, the report said, are modern
in that they have hot and cold
running water, bath and toilet.
"But almost all were small,
poorly constructed buildings built
by the owners themselves, or old
buildings in various stales of re
pair. By any reasonable standard
one would probably consider at
least half of the dwellings substandard."
