Housing
Plans Hit
By Smith
AUSTIN' (FPL- - Gw. Preston
Smith, .1 critic of many U. S.
government programs, took an-
ther swipe at federal housing
plans say.ng no matter when ;
tho slums are moved, "they are j
still ghettos.’
At Thursday's annual meeting j
of the Texas Research League, |
Smith said the greatest poten- j
tial *■ r solving problems of the j
slums "lies in effective pro |
grams of governments to assist
slum residents to become home
owners.’’
“We must help the slum dwell-
ers regenerate and rebuild the
slums from within,” he said.
‘‘And we must giv> them the
tools and thp reasons to want
to build anew.”
