Integrated Apartments By PETER VAUGHAN Minneapolis Star Staff Writer Minneapolis may soon see some apartment houses which will have moral principles and humanitarian interests included in their mortgage charges. Morris.

Milgram, a New York City real estate dealer who has pioneered efforts toward practical integrated apartment living in six states and the District of Columbia, is making talks this weekend in the Twin Cities to convince potential investors that integrated housing works economically. Milgram manages the three -year -old Mutual Real Estate Investment Trust (MREIT) which owns and operates nine integrated apartment buildings housing nearly 2,000 tenants. "Ours is a business and not a charity. We want, to show that integrated housing real-" ly works," Milgram explained. i y- Quarterly Dividends The 52-year-old easterner points with pride to the 3 per cent dividends the trust has been paying its many invest ors.

Milgram has been in the business of integrated housing for nearly 15 years and has met with setbacks. His original approach was to build housing units in areas far from the ghetto and then sell them on the basis of first come, first served, regardless of race. This worked in four projects in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, but Milgram met a setback in his attempts to set up a similar complex in Deerfield, 111. Milgram says that when the town got of the planned housing, they bought Milgram's land out from under his project on the pretext that it was needed for a park. From then on, he has concentrated on purchasing, existing structures in outlying areas and integrating them as vacancies appeared, Few Vacancies Prospective tenants, at.

Marcus Raskin. 34, a Washington research director, was found innocent by the jury after seven nours and 20 minutes of deliberation. The trial lasted four weeks.

Raskin walked from the 12th floor courtroom in the federal courthouse, his head down and tears in his eyes. "I feel verv cood for my self," he said in a choked voice, "and badly for the others." Raskin's lawyer, Calvin Bartlett, maintained during the trial that Raskin was not part of any conspiracy and barely knew his co-defendants. U.S. Dist. Judge Francis J.

W. Ford, ordered Soock and the other three freed in personal recognizance until sentencing July 10. They face maximum sentences of five- year prison terms and 000 fines. Conspiracy Found The iury. in a list of find ings on specific charges made in the indictment, found that Spock and the other three conspired to counsel, aid and abet Selec tive Service registrants to re fuse or evade duties under the Selective Service Act "Mv belief has alwavs been," Coffin said, "that the issues we wanted to bring before the court were never areued.

That's the leealitv and constitutionality of the war and the draft. Perhaps the appeal level is the place to do it." Later, at a press confer ence on the first floor of the courthouse, Coffin added, "I speak for all. If this is a con spiracy, we have the lightning bug confused with the lightning." Judge Ford had ruled that legality of the Vietnam war and of Selective Service laws were not issues in the case. Army Honors 50-year Man FT. RILEY, Kan.

Mondale Mail 25-1 in Favor of Gun Laws Special to The Minneapolis Star WASHINGTON, D.C The right of a man to gun down a small animal with high-powered rifle or plink tin cans off fence oosts is hardly defense for the death of seven major national fig ures recent years." The words were in a letter from a Brooklyn Center, man among more than 1,500 letters received this week on gun control legislation by Minnesota Sen Walter F.

Mondale. Of the 1,500, he said, "only a few" were opposed to stricter gun legislation. He estimated the ratio as about 25 to 1 in favor of stricter control. A letter from a nun at Faribault, said: "For the sake of humanity, use all your moral power to pass a much stronger firearms bill." A man from St Paul, wrote, "I am a gun owner and don't mind gun-control legislation." A St. Paul woman wrote "I am urging a ban on the sale of all firearms in the country unless a person has a permit." Congress has passed a measure to curb the mail-order sale of hand guns, but it has not yet been signed by President Johnson, who wants the ban extended to rifles and shotguns.
