hopes they will give written support of the ordinance proposal to the city commissioners.
The Human Relations Commission, created in Lawrence in 1961 with objectives as stated in the proposed ordinance, will now gain the power of enforcement should it go through.
In the commission's January meeting, several case testimonies were heard on the subject of minority group resident difficulties in obtaining housing. Among those who testified were KU students.
At this meeting also, the fair housing committee presented a resolution stating the need for a fair housing ordinance in the city.
INFORMATION ON THE SUBJECT was then requested from other cities which have enacted similar laws, in preparation for a draft of the ordinance.
In March, the fair housing committee submitted a "position paper" to the commission, an elaboration of their previous resolution.
THE CONCLUSION OF THAT paper, in part, follows:

NICE REVISIONISM
LONDON —(UPI)—“Revisionism” as Communist China sees it comes in many forms—even so lovely a one as that of Nikica Marinovic who, as “Miss Yugoslavia,” placed second in the “Miss World 1966” contest here. Miss Marinovic, the first girl from any Community country ever to enter the competition, was chastised by the Red Chinese radio as “a perfect example of the revisionism of the Tito regime.”
"It is the feeling of the Lawrence Fair Housing Coordinating Committee that Lawrence is a very special kind of community that can be expected to lead in the area of fair housing practices instead of to follow; to work creatively for the prevention of crisis rather than waiting until a crisis situation has already been reached. We believe that Lawrence is an enlightened community and can therefore secure the rights and opportunities of its citizens more readily than can the state."
The report also cited quotations from an article published in the Lawrence Journal-World by the Human Relations Commission.
It defined areas in Lawrence which are predominantly occupied by Negroes.
"THIS PATTERN OF NEGRO residential areas appears to have remained unchanged during the past twenty years," the article stated.
When the commission met again in April, Fred N. Six, Lawrence attorney-at-law and commission member, presented a draft of the ordinance and reported that it came in part from a study of three Iowa university cities: Ames, Iowa City, and Des Moines.
"The major text of the proposed Lawrence Ordinance was taken from the Iowa City ordinance because Iowa City, like Lawrence, had an established Human Relations Commission, whereas Ames did not," minutes of the meeting stated.
Iowa City and Ames had been studied more closely because they are nearer to the size of Lawrence.
