ings from Anchorage-area land
lords which were “frank and dis
criminatory.”
Egan ordered the AHA last
April to cease accepting listings
which were closed to persons by
the landlord on the basis of race
or color.
“It was never, in the mind of
the AHA to participate in any
program in which discrimination
was involved,” Egan said at his
regular Monday morning news
conference.
i “The AHA was concerned pri
marily with finding hemsing for
residents of the Anchorage area *
who were in need of hemsing.”
Egan said he .believed that dis- *
[crimination “on all fronts in,
Alaska has greatly diminished!
over the past 15 years. s,
“What discrimination remains,”
!E-pan said, “appears to be mainly
in the field of hoypifig.”

member of the State Board of
Fish and Game. Brtww, whose
term was scheduled to expire in
January, was one of the original
