Jones, Robert L News commentary by Don S. Willner discussing a judgement by the Washington State Supreme Court concerning a housing discrimination case in Seattle. Willner reports that a 1957 state law prohibiting discrimination in the sale of housing financed by a federal loan is declared unconstitutional by the high court. The case involves John L. O'Meara, a Caucasian homeowner, and Robert L. Jones, an African American homebuyer. Willner suggests in his commentary that the legal decision made by the Washington State Supreme Court sustains racial discrimination. Court opinions and statues prohibiting housing discrimination in Oregon are also discussed. Article originally printed in the Portland Reporter newspaper.
