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."

(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.
