public hearing.
Dr. Glazer stated that it was
"a matter of deep regret" to him
that the Council should be con-
ducting such a hearing, "since It
represents a retreat from a pre-
viously reached decision, as well
as a surrender to the demands of
bigots who seek to scuttle the
plans of decent American citi-
zens to meet their housing prob-
lem in a democratic manner." He
