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. In
1950 voters defeated a proposal
to reapportion it on a basis other
than population. 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.

to alienate world opinion than
American dollars can do to win
us lasting friendship.
"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.

do you attack a problem which is
not a rational problem?"

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

one speaker observed that !h
"realtors have taken a very nega

know "Did the realtors attempt
to do any good for these peoDlo'"
trescoii reioncct: "The realtor
did their best to serve the public
out cannot maxe up the public's
minds. 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

over Lane County, made use of
the- realtor s catalogue and ads,
but it came down to the realtors
opposing his buying.
