Hugg argued this morning in

his motions filed against the com
plant of the Indianapolis Public
Welfare Association.

location were characterized as "a
militant minority" by Hugg. They
don't represent the public at all.
Public opinion controls the action
of everyone" he stated. The Short
ridge question has been the subject
of much controversy since the first
of the year.
Hugg completed presentation of
