One develompent firm, the Irvine Co.

ol Orange County, immediately announced it would change its advertising policies. The second, Westlake Village, west of San Fernando Valley, said it was amazed at the accusation since it already has a policy of depicting minority persons in its advertisements and other sales promotion materials. Company Speaks Twin suits brought by organizations called fair housing councils charged that pictures of blacks and minorities were "systematically excluded" from sales brochures and newspapers and magazine ads, thereby subtly conveying a message that blacks were unwelcome. A spokesman for the Irvine Co. said "we may not have been sensitive" to the issue raised in the suit a a i a dvertising would be changed to meet the complaints.

He said the company has vigorously pursued a policy of open housing and was surprised at being named in such a suit. NAACP Council The suit over advertising for the development known as Irvine Villages was filed by the Orange ty Fair Housing Council. The suit against Westlake was filed by the San ando Valley Fail- Housing Council. Attorneys in both cases were supplied by the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund. Identical issues were raised in both, namely that by depicting only white families the ads tended to discourage blades and other non-Caucasians from trying to buy homes in the developments.

Discrimination in real estate sales and rentals is prohibited by state and federal civil rights acts. Recalls Past Amplifying on the issues raised in the suits, Kenneth C. Kelly of the San Fernando Valley Fair ing Council, told newsmen: "We believe that the advertising has the effect of keeping alive within most minority persons those feelings that were inculcated during the many decades in which rank and brutal discrimination against minority persons a Imost the rule a housing devel- opers' sales staff. The suits charged there were only 23 black families among the 25,000 persons now living in the Irvine Villages and only 15 black families among the 20,000 pel-sons now living in Westlake Village. Finns Reply Both suits asked for -court orders to compel the developers to show some non-white families in their sales promotion material.

Kelly said the suits were filed in federal court only after efforts at negotiation with the developers failed. However, an Irvine Co. executive said the advertising issue was never brought to the company's 1 attention. sa i n-d is- crimination has always been company policy and "if our ads haven't put it across, that was not the intent." Tells Disappointment The executive, who de? clined use of his name, amplified in a telephone interview on a. prepared statement issued by vine Co.

president William R. Mason. A reiterating company's sales policies and declaring that all ads' carry the equal opportunity logotype, Mason said: "The company is surprised and somewhat disappointed at the tactics of the NAACP and the Fail- Housing Council in this case. However, we will not question their motives and create contentiousness. "We will instead unmet diately review the sub- stantive criticisms cori- tained in the suit and will take positive action to resolve these problems in a way which will advance the basic objections of both the Irvine Co.

and the Fair Housing Council." The company spokesman replied. "Yes, ly" when asked whether Mason's statement meant that advertising policies would be changed in accordance with the intent. of the suit. Contact Last Fall Walter Blackwell, rate counsel for the developers of Westlake Village, said the firm has made every effort to attract blacks and other minority persons as Lomebuyers. He said representatives of the San Fernando Val- ley Fair Housing Council contacted corporate officials last fall and presented a list of recommenda- tions for changes in adver-' tising policies, including the use of picture of minority persons.

"We have accepted every one of those recom- dations," Blackwell said. "And our most recent newspaper ad con-" tained a picture of a black woman." He said the Fair Housing Council wanted corporate officials to sign an agreement to accept the recommendations. "We didn't want to sign the agreement because it i lied we had done something wrong in the past. But although didn't sign the are voluntarily plying with the provisions it contained," Blackwell; said. In according with provisions, he said, Westlake Village ads nowIS contained the equal oppori tunity' logos and a signal has been placed on display, i- in the main sales office spelling out the development's commitment to equal housing opportunities.

Westlake Village is -a joint development of the Prudential Insurance Co. a cl he American-Hawaiian Steamship Co.
