CRITICIZED MOST ny
THOSE WHO .N0W LEAST

Or. Anderson told his hearers thal
the civic Associations plan is being
most bitterly criticized by those who
know least about il. Almost without
exception, he said, the attacks upon
it have been led by men who. in their
very criticisms, betrayed the most
cgregious ignorance OF it's provisions.
y case in point. he said. was the at
tack by Captain Mccarthy several
nights ago. In charging the plan
with undertaking to interfere "!th the
