Rcgister-Guard", Eugene, Ore., Page 4 Wed., Feb. 13, 1952 Group to Ask Citizen Views Reapportionment Meeting Scheduled A committee of stale legislators will be in Eugene Friday night to hear citizens who have ideas about reapportionment of the Ore gon legislature. The group is the Reapportionment Interim Com mittee which has been directed to report to the 1953 legislature on the question of reshuffling the seats in the Oregon legislature. i;iyieeting will be at 8 p.m. Friday irt-Mhe Eugene Hotel. Senator Philip S. Hitchcock, Klamath FaUs, will preside. He is chair-man?-of the committee composed of Himself, Senator Richard L. Neuberger, Portland, and the fol lowing state representatives, Da vid C. Baum, LaGrande, H.H. Chindgrcn, Mollala, and Ivan C. Laird, Sitkum (Coos County). The public has been Invited to contribute ideas about reappor tioning the legislature. While the state constitution calls for reap portioning after each census, it has not been done since 1910.

The legislature itself, which is supposed to re apportion, met and adjourned in 1951 without passing any of the reapportionment bills which had been submitted to It.

Fisher has previously filed a brief with the FCC asking that Eugene be given suitable com mercial TV channels. A tentative list of channels to be made avail able sometime this spring was re leased several months ago by the FCC. It listed two commercial ultra high frequency channels and one "educational" very high fre quency channel for Eugene.

"That no man liveth unto him self was never truer than it is today," Berreman asserted. Berreman, who conducts a course in race relations at the university ' and has intercultural relations as one of his major fields of interest, then urged formation of an all-community council that "would be conceived as a per manent organization . . . not a temporary one-shot action. Such a committee must be broadly rep- resentative of the components of the community," he urged. "THE GOAL IS broader than houses for 40 families or water and sewers for West 11th Ave, jobs for 16 unemployed men; the fundamental job is democratic rights and freedom for all people and the restoration of full human and citizenship rights and of hu man dignity, Berreman declared First question to hit the floor sent a murmur through the mixed crowd. Mrs. Milton L. Hodges, a newcomer to the city from Do troit which she noted contained 13,000 Negroes asked: "My mother had a house worth $17,000 that sold for $12,000 when the col ored folks moved- in. What are we going to do about the falling real estate prices out here wnen the Negroes move in? ' Berry replied: IT'S A MYTH that property values go down because Negroes move in. Some people are so con vinced of this myth that they are in a hurry to run when a Negro moves in and in their hurry they depreciate their own property by selling on a buyer's rather than a seller's market. The property value goes down because of the white people being afraid of the colored brother and running out and not because of the coming of the colored brother. Mrs. Hodges tossed another thought before the crowd, "What are we going to do about those mottled babies in three genera tions or so? 1 have seen it happen before and people commit suicide because of it. It isn t funny. ' To this latter question, an ex southerner and white woman, ob served she had never seen a Negro child with a black face and white hands and that her "association with the Negroes had always been congenial and that it really de pended on the individual." FRANK A. SPARROW, familiar to readers of the Register-Guard's editor's mail bag, objected to picture appearing in the paper Monday which showed Sam Rey- X-lfirtl. Moderator Dr. Wesley G. Nich olson suggested that perhaps a friend gave him the cigar. Another wanted to know, "How do you attack a problem which is not a rational problem?"

J n.nntt AT) A I I -W TT W Of course,' we succeeded in voting ROBERT PRESCOTT, realtor, took the floor to explain the na ture of the realtor's organization and to note that this group ap pointed a committee to appear be fore the County Court because "they saw trouble coming." Pro scott recalled that "the committee was shocked to find that the colored people were being pushed to the West 11th Ave. area." Father Edmund Murnane in quired: "How did the ghetto first get established?" Prescott declared: "no realtor steered them to that shambles." Murnane then told the audience that "our attitude makes the prob lem. We need to remember that the Negro Is a human being just as are the Catholic and Jewish peoples. I shall always be proud that the the KKK attacked us all I am proud of that brother hood." A former resident of the Ferry St. bridge area told the crowd.

We do not draw the de cisions. It's true that news of the houses for rent travels by grape vine these days before it gets to the realtors' offices." NICHOLSON restated the orig inal question to ask if the realtors had done anything constructive. Prescott: "We do what we can for all customers who come to our offices." Sam Reynolds recalled how he had been given an offer by a white' man 'to find a place he lik ed and that he had travelled all over Lane County, made use of the- realtor s catalogue and ads, but it came down to the realtors opposing his buying.
