Renewal Disputed
AS Stun Cause

The contention that families
displaced by urban renewal
create new slums is not juSti-
fled by the facts, the director
of the Urban Renewal Admins
tration said yesterday.
Actually, neighborhoods be-
come slums through indiffer-
ence, neglect. poor planning,
lack of maintenance and prop
er facilities and unsound use,
William Slayton said.
Speaking at the 53rd Con-
vention Ct the Special Libraries
Association at the Shoreham
Hotel, Mr.. Slayton said that
urban renewal relocation was
too new to be the cause of
slums. Overcrowding caused in
some cities by the influx of low
income families has been con-
fused with relocation, he said,
