That is demonstrated by the fact that no longer are they willing to hold it down to slum clearance. In the old days to justify this and make it sound innocuous and good. they said. "We have to have a place to put these unfortunate people who are pushed out on the streets when a slum is torn down." That makes sense. so we wrote it into the law in 1954. and we continued it for a year. But since the public housing program has long since passed the lowincome stage for tenants. a mass of opposition developed to confining projects to occupancy by lowincome people and refugees from slums that are torn down. The professional public housers in opposing the law to restrict occupancy of new projects to displaced slum dwellers. had to show their hands. They no longer make any bones about it.
