Mr. Irving Kaler, Chairman of the Commission, presided. Other Commission members p:r'esent were: Mr. T. M. Alexander, Mrs .Sara Baker, Miss Helen Bullard, Mr. Robert Dobbs, Mr. A. L. Feldman , the Rev. J. L. Griggs, Mr. Joseph Haas, Mr. Al Kuettner, Mrs. F. W. Patterson, Rabbi Jacob M. Rothschild, Mr. M. O. Ryan, Mrs. Mary Stephens, the Rev. Samuel Williams. Mr. Kaler recognized Aldermen George Cotsakis, J.M. Flanigen, Charles Leftwich, G. Everett Millican, Hugh Pierce, Jack Summers, Q. V. Williamson, and Senator Leroy Johnson and Representative John Hood. Mr. Kaler thanked them for their interest and support. Mr. Bennie T. Smith, of the Grass Roots Council , and Senator Dan McIntyre sent letters expressing their regret at being unable to attend the hearing and assuring the Commission of their interest and support. Mr . Kaler stated this hearing was the first of a series of hearings planned to afford the citizens of Atlanta a place to seek help with their problems and to voice their complaints or grievances. The chairman then introduced Mrs. Eliza Paschall, who has been appointed by the Commission to serve as its Executive Director. Mrs. Paschall read the list of persons who had expressed a desire to be heard and asked that all speakers leave their names and telephone numbers for future conferences. Mrs. Paschall stated that her office would begin the following day on checking into all complaints and that all matters brought before the Commission would be thoroughly investigated. The meeting was then turned over to the Reverend Samuel Williams, who conducted the hearing. Mr. Williams stated that a series of neighborhood hearings would be held and that meetings would be held with all City department heads to discuss problems or complaints presented at these hearings. Mr. Williams expressed his gratification at the interest shown by the large number of persons, approximately 250, attending the hearing. All persons wishing to address the Commission were asked to limit their remarks to three minutes in order that all might be heard. �MRS. HENRY TOOMBS, 2871 Normandy Drive, N. W. Mrs. Toombs expressed the feeling that Fulton County and the City of Atlanta are neglecting an opportunity to meet the needs of many of our people by failing to part i ci pate in the Food Stamp program of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Mrs. Toombs explained the operation of the program, in which 68 Georgia counties are participating , and reiterated her belief that the City and County should i mplement all programs designed to meet the needs of segments of our community. MR. WILLIAMS. JACKSON, Dean of School of Social Work, Atlanta University Dean Jackson expressed his pleasure in the formation of the Commission and his hope that the Commission could be helpful in seeing that all services of the community are made available to all people. Dean Jackson feels that despite progress in the availability of public services resulting from civil rights legislation, the services of many private agencies are still not available to all citizens. As a case in point, he read a letter from a woman who has experienced difficulty in finding nursing care for her aged mother. She stated Hillhaven had taken her application, promising to notify her when a vacancy occurred, but she has heard nothing further. Upon making application to Highview, she was told that Highview had never admitted a Negro applicant , but might have to accept Negroes at a later date to comply with Federal laws . MR . ARTHUR BARHAM, West End, (Bush Mountain) Student at Clark College Mr . Barham stated he was concerned over an incident in which several Negro youths were threatened by white youths with a pistol. Mr . Bar ham s aid a case was made against the white youths , but the case ha s been pendi ng i n court si nce J anuary 25. Al t hough Mr . Ba rham conceded there wer e legal reasons for the t wo postponement s of the case , never theless he felt i t i mposed a ha rdshi p on students t o have to get out of school so many times . Mr. Barham also cont ended t hat t he police and other per sons in the city seemed more anxious to obtain informat ion regarding gangs in the neighbor hood t han t o concl ude t his spec i f i c case . Asked i f he would coopera te with the Commiss ion in an i nvest i gat i on of potent ial gang warfare , Mr . Bar ham said he would cooperate, but r ep eated hi s asser tions that he actual ly knows very little of any gang act ivity . THE REVEREND AMOS HOLMES, 1035 Simp son Street, N. W.,Vice President of the Atlanta Chapter of NAACP, Chairman, Housing Committee of NAACP Mr. Holmes stated the City should concern itself with an up to date citywide zoning plan. The City is still using the 1956 zoning format, which is now inadequate for the growth of the City. Mr. Holmes feels zoning policies should be geared to meet the needs of the City and its citizens and should be free from citizen pressure or commercial domination. If the city is to eliminate ghettos and provide housing for all its citizens, planning must be done on a citywide rather than a sectional basis. Page 2 �MR. ROBERT W. HAVER, 430 Lynhurst Drive, S. W., Southwest Atlanta for Progress Association, Cascade Heights Area Mr. Haver described the work of his organization, which is concerned with preserving their community on a balanced integrated basis. The special concern of this group is that white people do not move out as Negroes move in, thus creating a racial imbalance in the schools and community as a whole. Mr. Haver stated that while the use of percentages in governing human relations is undesirable, the community nevertheless feels it is important for the present to try to maintain a 50-50 balance of white and Negro families to give their children an opportunity to grow up in a truly integrated situation. A series of community forums will be held at Holy Family Hospital, beginning March 9, to discuss ways of stabilizing the community. Mr. Haver asked for the moral support and encouragement of the Commission in their efforts. Mr. Williams expressed the pleasure of the Commission in learning of the work of this group and pledged the full assistance and support of the Commission. HR. CHARLES CLARK, Southwest Atlanta Mr. Clark stated a Negro real estate dealer had tried to procure housing for him in a white neighborhood and alleged many prospective sellers had stated they were afraid of the reaction of their neighbors if they sold to a Negro family. Mr. Kuettner said he would be interested in receiving reports on any real estate agent who will not handle sales because of the race of the client. Mr. Clark was asked to appear before the Commission at a later date to give his story in full detail. MR. JAMES ~1ARSHALL, JR., 392 Rock Street, S. W. Block 13 near Incinerator (Lightning) Mr . Marshall stated there are no recreation areas in this section; the houses are unfit f or human habitation; there is only one paved street in the area; garbage and litter from demolished houses is not picked up. Mr. Dobbs asked if there was any plan for including this area in an Urban Renewal project. Mr . Marshall said he knows nothing of such plans. He also stated that the Sanitary Department is very slow in responding to calls to pick up trash. Rabbi Rothschild stated this area is high on the priority list of communities whose problems will receive special attention. MRS. ALVENIA DAVIS, 449 Markham Street, S. W., speaking for residents ·of Markham area Mrs. Davis stated that several houses unfit for habitation have not been demolished, although some have been unoccupied for more than one year. She feels these houses are dangerous and are a breeding place for crime and delinquency. Page 3 �MRS. ALVENIA DAVIS (Continued) Mrs. Davis also alleged that the housing code is not impartially enfor ced, contending that persons who own many houses receive more lenient treatment. that the owner of only one or two houses. Asked who owned the substandard houses still being occupied, Mrs. Davis stated Joe Schaffer was the owner. MRS. HAMBRICK , Walker Street School Council Mrs. Hambrick stated the residents of this area protest the continued use of the Walker Street School buil ding, which is old and in substandard condition. The residents want the school building replaced and feel the transfer of children to this school should be discontinued. Mr. Kuettner asked if the problem had been discussed with the Board of Education. Mrs . Hambrick said members of t he community had met with Dr. Letson and .had been told tha t work has been done on the building recently and that plans for replaci ng this school were not included in the r ecent school bond issue. MR. GLENN GLEATON , _1035 Garibaldi Street, S. W. Mr. Gleaton asked what the responsibility of the City is in regard to the individual homeowner whose property is bei ng damaged by leaking sewers or overflowing drains. Mr . Dobbs stated that new homes were inspected by t he Ci ty and the Building Ins pector should not clear houses which had inadequate sewer or drainage systems. Mr. Gleaton replied that he had complai ned t o the City of the damage to the foundat i on of his house and had been told t he house was too close to the ground. No further help on the matter was off er ed by the Ci ty. MRS. SALLIE BILLI NGSLEY, Pittsburgh Civi c League Mrs. Billingsl ey comp l ained of poor police pr otection in this area. Many r obberies have occurred, but the police have not appeared very interested in the matter. There are ver y few str eet lights. Teenagers are hanging out in vacant houses. Mr. Williams sta t ed tha t Alderman Charles Leftwich ha s discussed the problems of this community with the Police Department and every ef fort wi l l be made to provi de better pat r ol s ervice, especia lly at night . MR. HERNANDEZ, Southeast Atlanta , close to Blair Village (Gilbert Heights Ar ea ) Mr . Henandez asked what can be done about unscr upulous real esta te dealers who attempt to buy houses thr ough scare tac t ics, s uch a s t el ling homeowners that the section will be t urned over to Negroes or tha t it is going to be torn down for an Urban Renewal proj ect . Mr . Hernandez stated t here is no racial trouble in the area , but real est ate deal ers a re constantly sta rting rumors that the property will be condemned by the City to build apartments. In answer to an inquiry as to the real estate companies involved, Mr. Hernandez stated tha t Bickers, State Realty, and Collins Realtors were among t hose engaging in thi s practice. Page 4 �MR. HERNANDEZ (Continued) Asked if he had called any of the Urban Renewal agencies, Mr. Hernandez replied that he had not talked to anyone in those agencies, but he could not wait for this. He feels the City should investigate immediately, as many of the people in the community may be panicked into selling their homes. Mr. Hernandez was asked to meet with the Commission at a later date to provide specific names and additional facts. MR. OTIS COCHRAN, 230 Walnut Street, N. W., Vice-Chairman, Advisory Board, Nash-Washington EOA, Member of the Board of Directors of the Atlanta Council on Human Relations. (Vine City) Mr. Cochran stated the City should investigate cases of discrimination in employment practiced by many of the firms and contractors with whom the City is doing business. He stated that a group of consultants engaged by the City to make a study of equal employment opportunities actually practices complete discrimination against Negroes in their own hiring policies. Mr. Cochran also addressed the Commission on the problem of recreational facilities in the Vine City area. Mr. Cochran stated that a full time, long-range program should be established rather than relying on emergency measures to solve crises. MR. JOE LEWIS HEADSPETH, 575 Magnolia Street , N. W. (Vine City) Mr. Headspeth, with two other teenage residents of this area, appeared with Mr. Cochran to protest the closing of their recreation center at 141 Walnut Street. Mr. Dobbs stated that because of a reduction in EOA funds, the center had to be closed becaused funds for recreation technicians were cut off . Mr. Headspeth turned over to the Commission a petition from residents of the area requesting that the center be reopened. Alderman Millican stated that there has been a 30% cut in Federal funds available for EOA , but the City is working to provide the same service to this area as was available last year. Mr. Headspeth stated that he and his friends felt very strongly about this matter and that if it were necessary demonstrate in the streets to spotlight their problem, they would do so. MRS. LOUISE WHATLEY, Pryor Road (Carver Homes) Mrs. Whatley protested the lack of recreational facilities in this housing project in which approximately 4,000 children have no place to play. Open space which could be used for football and baseball fields is available, but the Housing Authority will not permit them to use it. Page 5 �MRS. LOUISE WHATLEY (Continued) Mrs. Whatley also protested the managment's practice of doubling and tripling charges for repairs according to the number of repairs requested in one year. She stated repairs were often made without the occupant ' s knowledge or request. Tenants have been charged as much as $36 for repairing a screen door and have been charged $5 because their children played on the grass. Mrs. Whatley said a receipt was given for the charge, which is paid at the same time as the rent , but the receipt does not specify what the charge covered and the tenants do not know where the money goes. She said complaints had been made to Mr. Howard Ball at the Housing Authority, but his attitude was that the complainants represented only a minority of the tenants. In reply to a question about a tenant's organization, Mrs. Whatley said they did have a Tenant's Association, but it is more or less run by the management. Mrs. Whatley also complained that the tenants are treated with discourtesy or disdain by the management. MRS. CHARITY MURRAY, 76 Hilliard Street, Apt. 612, Grady Homes Apartments Mrs. Murray stated that a woman living in an apartment across the hall from her had fired a pistol, narrowly missing her grandaughter. A case was made against the woman and she was bound over to Fulton County Court , but both the defendant and Mrs. Murray had been told to vacate their apartments by letter from Mr. Carl Brown, manager of Grady Homes. Mrs. Murray stated she went to Legal Aid Society, but they could not help her, Mrs. Baker asked if any charge had been made against Mrs. Murray. She said no charge was made against her.

Highview has no rules regarding admissi on of patients wh ich ex clude admission of negroes . Highview has fulfilled all requireme nts of the Department of Health, Education and We lfare, as set forth under Title VI and has so advertised in the community news media, by le tter to the county governments of Fu l ton and DeKalb, and ora l ly to all others interested . Neither the undersi gned nor any member of the Highview s taff has ever, with my knowledge, mad e any s ta teme nts to anyone whi ch would be contrary to the Highview board's expre ssed admission policies. Highview does not have on ha nd any requests for admission o f a ne gr o to the institution ; nor has Hi ghvi ew e ver r eceived an application for a dmission of a negro.

Some Facts About Admission To ·--- -- --- --·-------- --·--------- Highview Nursing Home 2800 Springdale Raed S. W. At lanta, Georgia 30315 · Highview Nursing Home is a privately operated, non profit philanthropy, governed by a self-perpetuating board of directors. (It is not under the direction of county officers ) . Service is limited to bona-fide re s idents of Fulton County and, to a le sser degree , DeKa lb County. Application for admission is made direc t ly to the administrator's office at the home. It is not necessary to have the endorsement of recommendation of friends or public officials. Acceptance of a patient is determined entirely on the basis of eligibility, need and ava ilability of space. Application is made on forms provided by Highview, one of which is a me<lical report and diagnosis to be made by the applicant's physicia n. Medical examination and judgement is required in order to determihe whether Highview can pr operly serve the patient. Because this community doe s not ha~e adequate nursing home facilities, there is a considerable waiting list for a dmission to Highview, and acceptance is usually slow. Critical circums tances surrounding a patient are considered. Often it i s best a patient be placed in any nursi ng ho~e where space is availab le, pending a vacancy a t Highview; and thi~ wil l not lose the patient' s priority for Highview admiss ion. Ot h er f actors a ffec ti ng admis s ion: Some patie nts floors are restri c ted to WQme p , § Orne tQ men; and a va ca ncy on t he men ' s wa r g wi l l not prov i de a bed for a woman on the waiting li st . Some spa ce i ~ appropriate onl y for the care of amaulatory patients. About two-thirds of th e space at Highview is devo~s to patients whose financia l circumstances require as si s tanc e from public welfare sources ; and t his rati o is mai ntained in considering all applications. Also the r atio between DeKalb and Fulton r e sident s is maintained . The officers of Highview are concerned that the service s of t he Home be made available to the community in equitable fashi on . Our sole object is to serve those who need this ca re. However , our maximum capacity is only .a fraction of the total need, a nd it is impossib le to admit many who wish to enter here. Our most unhapp y task is to de ny those for whom we ca nnot find space. ./ / ·1 --J_, I', /7 , irfl.~,.t~· I L-Lf#-1!.4< 7 / 1/fA Harold T.

Atlanta) Qeor gia 30315 ADMISSION POLI CIES: Highview is intended to be a nursing ~ of limit ed means . f or infirm aged men and women Infirm is intended to mean that the person should have immediately avail ab le nursing care and medical attention of the degree u sually assoc iated with a nursing home, but not t o the degree which normally requires the s ervite of a genera l hospital or a chr onic-disease hospital; and a degree of infirmity which requires more than simp le custodial c are . Aged is inte nded to mean a person who is in the sixtieth year of life or older . This age shall not be consid ered a rule abso lute if the capacity of the h ome is not filled by persons of this minimum age . Limited Means is intended to mean persons who do not have avai lable (owned in their ~ r i g h t, or through kin who will a ccept fina ncia l respons ibility) financial resources suffic ient to pay f or the ir care in the usua l privately operated nursing h ome or home for the aged . A specific dollar-value on r esource s is intenti onally omitted . CLASSIFICATION : Patients• shal l be considered under three classifications- Class A she.11 be those patients who are entirely dependent upon public or private agencies or charities for t heir care and live lihood. Class B shall be those patients wh o have some fi nancial resources (se lf owned kin) , but who require assistance from public or private agencies for their care a nd livelihood.

t

Class C shall be those patients who have financial resour ces (self owned or fro; kin) sufficient to pay cost of care and livelihood at this home, but not sufficient to purchase care and livelihood at the usual private ly operated nursing home. Priority : First consideration will be given to Clas s~ patients. It is in the publ:i.c interes t that services also be extended to the other two group s, for it is wise to encourage persons to rely on their own resources.

Eliza - asc .all , cu ~ive Direc tor , Co~-= nity ela ~i on~ Commission, 12th ~loor , City Ha ll E:~ Po.sc all : This will answer the fi rst part of your letter of February 22nd rega _ding the condition of the sewer reported by Mrs . Nannie McCormick of 1 l:-3 Oakmont Drive, N. W. 1-it's . 1cCormick is a schoo 1 teacher and v."e have had some trouble COi.1tacting he ; however, our Mr . Ken Lanca s ter has contacted Mrs . ~1cCo_o·· ck concerning the sewer odor and inefficie ncy of sewers in the mldo D~ ive and Argyle Drive area of Lincoln Homes . We believe the silt d posits that have accumulated in these lines i s the trouble and we have instructed our construction super intendent to flush and drag t.ese lines . After the completion of this work, i f the sewers are stil operating inefficiently , we will initiate a program of s udy to determine what is necessary to allev iate the sanitary sewer pro l c~s in this area. In response to the statement by Mrs . McCormick concerning the drowning of a child in Proctor Creek last year, I would like to bring it to t he ir a ttention with your Community Relations Commission that t':ie property owners in this area are responsible for fencing the czeck in the ir back yard, as most of the property runs to the center of the creek and is the responsibility of the abutting property owncar it would be up to them for the safety of their children and for t .eir neighbors children in connection with the flooding of Proctor Creek in heavy rains that they fence their backyards to protect the children . This is not a responsibility nor a function of any govern:nental agency. 211.d Yours truly , / . k ·,v-· .. /,.>' _.,.,
