Asks FHA Insure Rights
To Buy Levittown House
A government economist who
was dented a home in a Levitt
& Sons bousing development be
cause he is a Negro, has asked
the Federal Housing Administra
>tion to take "further action’
? against the builder under the
provisions of the President's Exe-
*~cutive Order against discrimina
in housing.
•* - The request by Karl D. Gregory
',ot Washington, D.C. was reveal
*«d in • letter sent last Friday
>' to Commissioner Philip N. Brown-
* atein of the Federal Housing
Adminstration. The letter noted
that Mr. Gregory and his at
torney, Mrs. Constance Baker
d Motley, met with Mr. Adolphus
Sj^rotho, general counsel of the
FHA and Oliver Hill, assistant
to Commissioner Brownstein, in
••g conference on Wednesday. Mrs.
Motley is associate counsel of
‘“the NAACP Legal Defense and
Educational Fund.
In Bowie, Md.
7 Mr. Gregory submitted his
complaint to the FHA on Dec
ember 17,
1962, alleging that
Levitt & Sons refused to sell him
a house in their Belaire develop
ment at Bowie, Md. solely be
cause of his race. The FHA
’found that his complaint was
justified and fell within the pur
view of Section 102 of the Presi
dent’s housing order of Novemb
er 20.
Mr. Gregory was notified by
Commissioner Brownstein early
this year that after two conferen
ces with Mr. Levitt he had been
unsuccessful in getting him to
abandon his “all-white" policy.
The letter stated there was “noth
ing further" the FHA could do.
Mr. Gregory replied on March
26 that he was not satisfied with
this answer. He retained Mrs.
Motley and requested the meet
ing with FHA officials which was
t
held last week.
• Mr. Gregory moved from De
troit in September 1961 to work
• in the executive Office of the
President for the Bureau of the
Budget. He earned a Ph.D. In
Economics from the University
of Michigan and was assistant
professor of economics at Wayne
State University before his govern
anent appointment.

• Levitt & Sons is one of the
nation’s largest home builders.
He has developed Levittowns in
■Long Island, N.Y., Pennsylvania,
ZNew Jersey — all since World
War II — and initiated buildin
ventures in Puerto Rico, Psrii
Matteawan, N.J. and the Belai
project.
The originally all-white Nev

was sued by the NAACP Lega
Defense Fund in the mid-1950 s

SCHR Announcei
New Service In
Info On City
Commissioner George H. Fow
ler, chairman of the State Com
mission for Human Rights, ha
announced that the commlssidi
is providing an additional infor
mational and educational ser
vice to individuals who come ti
the commission offices with pro
blems unrelated to discrimina
tion on the basis of race, creed,
color or national origin. The new
service is designed to inform'
people about other agencies of i
city, state and federal govern- j
ment where they may obtain!
assistance.
Mr. Fowler said the need for
the additional informational and
educational services became dra
matically apparent after the com
mission opened branch offices
last year in Manhattan, Brook
lyn and Nassau County for the
purpose, as Governor Rockefel
ler put it, "to bring the com
mission closer to the people.”
Charles F. Kettam, an infor
mation specialist, has been as
signed by the commission to
provide the additional service at
the branch offices through liai
son with city, state and federal
agencies. Mr. Kellam's schedule
is as follows: Monday and Tues
day at the Brooklyn office, 116
Court St., Wednesday and Thurs
day at the Manhattan office, 62
E. 125th St., and Friday at the
Nassau office, 244 Mineola Blvd.
The commission’s main New
York City offices are at 270
Broadway. Information and lit
erature may be obtained at the
twenty-first floor, or by calling
BArclay 7-1616, Ext. 7020.
