Albert M. Cole. Housing and

He pictured such neglect as

chants, industrialists and other
businessmen and untold misery
ito unpropertied citizens"
Mr.. Cole has reduced his
budget request from $3.50 mil
lion for capital grant reserva-
tions for renewal projects to $i15
million. His action has been
criticized. He defended it and
said the smaller sum would sup
port "a vigorous campaign of
urban renewal during the next
fiscal year."
Mr.. Cole addressed a luncheon
meeting of the United States
Chamber Of Commences 45th
convention. The meeting, one of
several held in the second day
Of the chambers three-day ses-
sion. was held in the Hotel

George S. Goodyear Of Char

Mr.. Cole said a city must
have a comprehensive plan of
urban renewal under way by 1860
or face bankruptcy BY 1855.
There is still time. he added, but
none to spare.
Income-producing properties in
the central core Of cities are
threatened by the outward move

he asserted. He added that the
enormous economic advantage Of
a central location thus becomes
threatened in time by decay.
