Recorder's Court bench.
The Council statement was ac-
Born in New York in 1903, he
was brought to Detroit by his par- companied by an analysis of the
ents, Mr. and Mrs. Max Schmier, provisions of the measure.
Citing the threat that the "loose
language" of the ordinance poses
to such property safeguards as
zoning, the Council analysis point-
ed to the possible "chaos" that
could result if the ordinance were
adopted and literally enforced,
The basis of the Council's op-
position, however, was related to
the "overriding intention of the
proposal to legalize discrimination
in the sale or rental of housing."
If enacted, the Council stated,
such an ordinance "would limit the
right of an individual to purchase
or rent a home of his choice, it
would sanction and make possible
the exercise of discrimination
having no relationship to the
human value of an individual's
capacity to be a good neigh-
bor."
The Common Council earli-
er passed a measure recommend-

STARLIGHT, Pa. (JTA) The
Brith Youth Organization
dedicated two $70,000 buildings at
its youth camp here. The struc-
tures are the start of a new com-
plex devoted to leadership training
activities for Jewish youth.
The buildings, to be used for
intensive summer study programs
designed to encourage youngsters
to train for and assume future
leadership roles in Jewish religi-
ous, cultural and organizational
life, are named in honor of Philip
M. Klutznick and Label A. Katz,
the two top leaders of Bnai Brith.
Bnai
ed by the Commission on Com-
munity Relations and Corpora-
tion Counsel, which allows a
homeowner to protect himself
against harassment by real estate
companies.
In the form of an amendment
to the Fair Neighborhood Prac-
tices Ordinance, this provision
would prohibit a realtor from soli-
citing a homeowner upon the re-
quest of the homeowner that he
desist in such practices.
A second amendment passed by
Common Council tightened the pro-
hibitions against the use of real
estate signs on public property.
Previously, it was illegal to place
signs on city property. This res-
triction has now been extended to
include county and state property
as well.
On the state front, the Michigan
Civil Rights Commission has check-
ed 1,800 hotels, motels, resorts,
restaurants and taverns in 39
counties in the agency's program
to insure equal accomodations for
all, Burton I. Gordin, CRC execu-
tive director, announced.
Places of public accomodations
are required to display, in a con-
spicious place on the premises, the
following poster:
"Michigan Law Requires All
Places of Public Accommodation
to Serve All Persons Equally
without Regard to Religion,
Race, Color, or National Origin.
Persons Denied Service Based
on these Conditions May File a
Complaint with the Michigan
Civil Rights Commission."
Public interest in the campaign
has perked up considerably, Gor-
din reported.
He emphasized that signs such
as "We reserve the right to refuse
service to anyone," are not incom-
patible with the Michigan require-
ments as long as service is re-
fused on a uniform basis. Many
restaurants and lodges have post-
ed the two notices in close proxi-
mity.
Any business, Gordin said, has
the right to adhere to standards
as long as the standards are not
so applied as to discriminate
against individuals because of their
religions, race, color or national
origin.
