Mayor Requests
Housing Group
Debate Issue

Mayor G. Lamar Kelly, Jr., to-
day requested that free discus
sion of the County Housing Au-
thoritys' report be made by open
debate.
Since Rockville is particularly
stigmatized by having it's Lincoln
Park section labeled a "Ghetto,"
the Mayor said he feels that the
whole city has been sadly subjected
to an injustice by this unfair and
untrue report"
Since the center of grievance is
the Lincoln Park Haiti area, he
said he would meet at the colored
center of education with the men,
bers of this commission or any per-
son or persons appointed by them
and debate the report.
Meantime, he id, the city's
name must be deleted from the re-
port, as statements concerning
Rockville are not founded on fact.
In addition an apology to the
city is in order lifting the stigma
of Rockville creating a "Ghetto,"
