Negro House Members Weigh Open Housing Bill In Ohio
In Columbus Ohio Negro representatives said they were playing it by ear on an open housing bill that would extend protections to one and two family dwellings. Rep William Mallory and Rep William Bowen urged stronger provisions including injunctive relief to aid victims during Civil Rights Commission investigations. The measure failed to pass earlier as it lacked teeth and faces a new vote. A separate scene in Franklin County saw C Howard Johnson oppose more campus disorder laws while urging enforcement of existing statutes rather than new measures.
