<br />of Realtors, Mr. Redman has undertaken the temporary chairmanship tO set up a
<br />committee of citizens, representative of the cu~m~uity to study any problems
<br />of minority groups. It was the opinion of the City Council that the provisions
<br />of the City Charter already prohibited any discr~mfnation because of race,
<br />religion or political opinion.
<br />
<br />Dick Loughlin, speaking for the Santa Ana-Orange-Tustin Board of Realtors, report-
<br />ed that the Hl,m,n Relations Committee had met three times with the NAACP, but
<br />was no longer effective as a trade association since it is a much broader program
<br />than can be covered by two individual organizations; that the Board of Realtors
<br />would be opposed to creating a c.~.~-lssion inasmuch as it is a social problem
<br />and not legislative.
<br />
<br />Speaking in favor of the proposals were Richard Pretheridge, 721 S. Goldenwest,
<br />Thelma Frame, 621 S. Daisy, Alvin Heiser, 606 S. Townsend, Rev. Vinson, 1205

<br />objected to an approach from a legislative point, but supported the formation
<br />of a volunteer group.
