last week in protest to government
officials there.
D.fferences of opinion split the
action. Many citizens argued that
the North End Negroes by joining
with whites to enforce property re
strictions were establishing a fright
ful precedent in Detroit. The Presi
dents of Conant Gardens, however,
contend that they oppose the hous
ing project solely on the ground
that it would lower property values
■r.d standards which ahey oav#-
worked hard to build up and that
the fight was not a race is.-ue.
The officials of the USHA have
