Real estate
group
attacked
ATLANTA (UPI)- The state
Real Estate Commission does
little to enforce open housing
laws and has almost no credi
bility among blacks, an official
of the Atlanta Open Housing
Coalition charged Monday.
Rhett D. Baird, executive
secretary of the coalition, spoke
to a joint session of the Real
Estate Commission and the
House community development
subcommittee.
He said existing laws on real
estate practices are weak, pro
viding only that the Real Estate
Commission “may” suspend or
revoke a realtor’s license for
housing discrimination. He
charged the commission, made
up of real estate agents, deals
lightly with offenders because
of an “inherent conflict of in
terests.”
Baird said the commission
has received no complaints of
racial discrimination in hous
ing, “although we know it ex
ists.”
“If we know it exists, this
should tell you something. It
means that your credibility
among blacks is ....-near
zero,” he told the commission
members and legislators.
Baird recommended the com
mission advertise, particularly
in the black media, that hous
ing discrimination is illegal and
that the state will help home
seekers who believe they have
been discriminated against.
“Until you do this, the com
plaint statistics will remain at
zero, and your credibility will
remain at zero,” he said.
Magazine
planned
for Griffin
The Greater Griffin Gazette,
weekly newspaper, has an
nounced it would become a
magazine.
Mr. and Mrs. Lafayette Beck
began publication of the paper
more than a year ago.
In a front page statement,
Beck said since his wife was
injured in an automobile ac
cident in June, they had not
been able to maintain regular
publication on a weekly basis.
Beck said he and his wife had
reached the decision to turn the
publication into a magazine and
they would not have to meet
weekly deadlines.

DEPRECIATING BEAVERS
LOS ANGELES (UPI) -
Gustave C. Galas, 45, a tax
attorney, was sentenced Mon
day to two years in prison for
fraudulent use of beavers as a
tax shelter.
A federal judge placed
Fresno, Calif., beaver rancher
Dennis G. Crum, 34, on four
year’s probation and fined him
$5,000. He and Crum were
found guilty on four counts
each of aiding in the prepara
tion of false and fraudulent
federal income tax returns.
Federal prosecutors said
Galas had worked out a plan,
which he used mostly in the
cases of physicians with high
incomes, whereby they pur
chased beavers from Galas, on
paper only, and the contracts
were backdated. Galas then
prepared tax returns that
showed the doctors suffered a
loss because of depreciation of
the beavers.
