Negro 'Grievances' Abound Here, Too By SARA SPEIGHTS Staff Writer "The seeds of violence are in Austin just as in any community," Charles Miles, executive director of the city human relations commission, told a group Tuesday. But it may be easier to avoid violence here, he said, "if the people of Austin are willing to help alleviate recurring. grievances." Speaking to the League of Women Voters, Miles said that the grievances of the Negro poor in Austin "are the same as anywhere housing, jobs and education.

They're talking about the same things in East Austin as they are in South Chicago," he said. The 29-year-old Negro director said he thought it was "very sad that the white community is depriving its children of the opportunity to grow up in an integrated neighborhood." He said if the city fair housing ordinance is defeated in a referendum election, a lot of people here will be very Miles said he anticipates an "intensification of awareness in the East Austin community "when a full scale housing: (ordinance) campaign starts." The ordinance, prohibiting racial discrimination in some housing, was passed by the City Council but is being challenged to a city -wide vote by petition. Dr. Astor Kirk, regional officer of the Office of Equal Opportunity, told the group he feared "the housing issue will polarize this city like its never been polarized." Kirk said the most significant portion of the ordinance is the declaration of policy which states that it is "the public policy of the city of Austin to bring about, through fair, orderly and lawful procedures the opportunity for each natural person to enjoy a good, wholesome, and decent dwelling without regard to his race, color, religion, or national Kirk said "the only inference you can make if this is turned down at the polls is that Austin doesn't want to accomplish this goal in an orderly fashion." Miles said he felt "one of the most significant differences between the federal law and the local ordinance is that under the local ordinance every effort is made to conciliate a matter" before resorting to court action. Many of the league members expressed concern that a fair housing ordinance alone will not accomplish integrated neighborhoods and questioned whether Negroes in Austin wanted to live in white neighborhoods.

"Negroes have aspirations too," Miles said. "Many of them would like to hang homes off those hills too if they could afford Miles said many Negroes who did not vote in the recent school board election "take great pride in Mrs. Delco's election and this will bring many more Negroes to the polls next time," he said. (Mrs. E.

A. Delco was the first Negro ever elected to the Austin school board.) Miles said the most difficult type of racism to combat is "institutional racism," or that built into the system which keeps Negroes "on the bottom rung of society." He said the white community, in order to combat this type of racism, needs to extend itself a more positive manner toward the Negro," and acquaint itself with the Negro community. "This means going beyond conversation with your butlers and maids," he said. "It means learning something about how the Negro thinks and feels." Roaches?
