Police say tension exists in a city where Negroes comprise about 30 percent of the population, with leaders warning an outbreak remains possible.

Debate on Women Rights and Homemaking vs Career
In a Women’s National Press Club debate Betty Friedan argues women should have both home life and a career, while Robert Stein counters that neither option should be forced on all women. The column then expands to question why men’s work and marriage aren’t similarly balanced, and cites Detroit census data showing concentrated Black populations, unemployment gaps, and housing as central concerns for the Black community.
