Expressway Gypsies Take Over Milwaukee Barracks
In Milwaukee, 16 needy families including 89 children occupy abandoned Army barracks on the North Side after they refused Army evictions. The city leases the units to them for about 45 dollars a month while they hookup water and electricity themselves. A paper Christmas tree and a puppy named Apache are among the modest celebrations as families seek heaters and hot water.
