Cavanagh Seeks External Study On Detroit Riot Conduct
Detroit Mayor Jerome P. Cavanagh asked for a penetrating outside review of government conduct during last week’s riot. He estimated city losses at at least 10 million and urged a two week report from a small distinguished panel. Federal troops left Detroit as order was restored and guardsmen were returned to state control. Authorities continued probe into shotgun slayings at the Algiers Motel tied to the riot aftermath.
