XV i-IUV fef&N This column is prepared a public strvic by the College of Law. Willamette University, Salem, to explain basic legal principles, not to provide legal advice. The reader is cautioned not to apply these cases to hit own problems without an attorney's advice, for differing facts may change the outcome. State Cannot Enforce Restrictive Residential Agreement Since 1917, the Supreme Court has held that resident ial segregation cannot be re quired by state or local law; such governmenlally enforced segregation of the races con stitutes a violation of the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment. Residential segre g a t i o n since then, however, has been accomplished by private re strictive covenants entered in to by property owners for bidding the transfer of prop erty to persons of certain race or color. In 1926, the Supreme Court upheld' the validity of such private covenants. Relief Provided in Courts The 14th Amendment in hibits only state action; it erects no shield against mere ly private conduct, however discriminatory it may be, While none will deny the free dom of Individuals to contract even in a discriminatory way, the question remains as to whether such contracts could be enforced except through state action. The sanction be hind restrictive covenants is the possibility of legal relief if they are violated, and such relief is provided by the state through its courts. Pour a )iggr of Samovar. Add fruit lines, ice and i In 1944, owners of resident ial property in a Los Angeles neighborhood agreed not to permit any part of their prop erty to be "used or occupied by any person not of the white Caucasion race." Subse-1 quently, Leola Jackson, one j of the parties to the agree ment, sold property to Ne groes who proceeded to oc cupy the land. The other parties to the agreement then sued Leola for damages, al leging a breach of the restric tive covenant. The case ulti mately reached the U.S. Su preme Court. The Court said that a state court could not enforce a res trictive covenant by an award of damages against one of the parties who had broken the agreement. The Court said such enforcement would con stitute state action denying equal protection of the laws to non-Caucasians in violation of the 14th Amendment. This case, and an earlier case, clearly removed the le gal sanction behind residential segregation, with the result that while the 14th Amend ment does hot preclude prop erty owners from entering in to restrictive covenants, the force of the Amendment leaves them without a remedy in the event any party breach es the covenant. These Su preme Court decisions have not, to be sure, by themselves completed altered the resi dential pattern of the South and other sections of the coun try. At the same time, the Supreme Court, in denying the possibility of judicial en forcement, has removed the legal teeth from restrictive covenants and this may help in ultimately making equal protection of the laws, in the field of property ownership, more than a mere slogan for the Negro. i Hoffa Gains Ground In Legal Battle Washington - IUPD - James R. Hoffa appeared to be win ning the upper hand Saturday in a running legal battle with court-appointed monitors who are trying to depose him as president of the powerful Teamsters' union.
