Rule by Individuals Vitality of City Feared by Brownell Is Reflected in Building Plans
Atty. Gen. Brownell denounced McCarthy era calls for government employees to share secret information, warning it would replace government by law with rule by an individual. He urged Congress to supervise security programs, while affirming executive control of secrets, and warned against weakening constitutional separation of powers. The piece then shifts to Lawrence building activity, noting $40 million in major projects and rising permit valuations in 1954, including a new water plant addition and university construction, with several projects exempt from city permits.
