PAGE 4 THE NEWsPAPER THE ELDER STATESMAN OLIVER E. SMITH JUNE 11, 1970 Inroads i~to Oregon poli~ tics had some gains however. About ten people had their names on the ballot. The part isan political candidates did not fare too well, nor did they think they would. The School Board and Jud– icial candidate won handily, but Democratic and Republican Black candidates were rejected for the leoislature. One Re– publican candidate remains on the general election ballot simply because he had no oppo– sition in the North City Sub– District, a District that a Democratic Candidate's nomina– tion in the Primary is tanta : mont to election. Both candidates and winner of the School Board (Mrs. Mc– Coy) and Judicial (Mrs. Diez) are qualified for their jobs. Mr. Diez is the best appoint– ment yet o~ Blacks by the Gov– Now that the Primary Elect- ernor.

I want the voters of Portland to elect, in a con– tested election, a qualified candidate, not because he is Black but in spite of it ••• Preferably a Representative, Senator, County Commissioner, or City Councilor. It must be noted here that the qualifi– cations are the same as for a white candidate.

That was the Mc– Donald-Kinsey race . I thought McDonald could be nominated with the organization that was helping him. He is to be en– couraged. The only thing that beat him was that he didn't get the votes. Votes are the things anv cand1date needs to get elect– ed. The rhetoric of issues must not take precedence, because even if one were elect– ed, the established procedure will let any neophite only go so far ... unless his promises enhance the power of the estab– lishment.

James ·o. Brooks, President of the Irvington Community Association; and Evelyn Folen attended the Conference, and Brooks was elected to a three year term on the National Board of Directors. Brooks and Mrs. Folen were the only delegates from the Northwest to attend the con fe ren ce. · The organization also plans to "challenge agencies which control housing patterns to implement open housing." It also will launch plans for a "Shopper's Sunday" across the country where National Neighbors wit.h fair housing councils will test real estate practices in both white and in– tegrated areas and concurrently file discrimination practice complaints. White and black members of National Neighbors would seek to buy the same homes, and complaints will be filed in the event of preferen– cial treatment given to white "shoppers." Spokesmen at the conference declared that the tools and mechanisms for creating "plur– alistic neighborhoods" are now available by making existing discriminatory practices un– profitable to real estate agents. "All these represtatives talked for three days about the problems in their own communi– ties which impede neighborhood stabilization. We found that social evils are insurmounta- ble unless we somehow manage to solve the environment people live in .••. whether black or white. We found all our dele– gates face the same problems in schools, zoning, congestion, and all lead back to housing," said Joseph Hairston, presi- .-----------------------------~ dent of National Neighbors.
