Gray works on housing for marchers in Washington
Rep Kenneth J Gray heads a House subcommittee writing emergency housing legislation for the march on Washington. He says he is mediating with government officials and urging talks with Rev Ralph Abernathy to reach an administrative agreement. The plan limits federal property use in Washington to prevent housing on the Mall. The bill, intended only if talks fail, preserves property rights and cites no abridgment of free speech. A second item suggests a small bathroom divider for privacy.
