Renewal Feud Erupts: A stormy public hearing last night was called to an abrupt close following a series of pleas for and against Ypsilanti's proposed urban renewal program. Above, Clarence Henry (at microphone), a spokesman for the Ypsilanti Property Owners Association, makes his plea against adoption of the program. The group's president, Mrs. Mattie Dorsey (seated above and speaking below right), was the final speaker before the hearing was ended. The group's attorney, Booker T. Williams (below left), contemplates the testimony while awaiting a turn to speak that never came.
