They asserted that the owners of the Paddock Woods subdivision in suburban St. Louis had refused to sell them a homesite because Jones is a Negro. A federal district court dismissed the case and the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit affirmed that action. Both courts held that neither the 1866 law nor the constitution banned racial discrimination by private owners in real estate transactions. The Supreme Court agreed last December to review the case.

Ban on Slavery The 1866 law was passed to enforce the 13th Amendment, which says that "neither slavery nor involuntary servitude shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction." In 1883, however, the Supreme Court held that the 1866 law could not be in-terpreted to outlaw discrimination in public accommodations, since the 13th Amendment only gave Congress power to undo slavery. Justice Stewart said that housing discrimination against Negroes was "a relic of slavery." As such, he said, Congress has the power, under the 13th Amendment, to legislate against it. The ruling appeared to broaden the constitutional power of Congress to pass future laws aimed at private discrimination in general and not only in housing. "Surely Congress has the power under the 13th Amendment rationally to determine what are the badges and the incidents of slavery, and the authority to translate that deteermination into effective legislation," Stewart said. Since 1947, the number of persons in the United States with at least four years of high school has increased by 30 million while the adult population was increasing 24 million.
