...childish pronouncements on the draft [June 3] of those who would enjoy the harvest without the labor are empty and redundant.

It is possible, though hardly likely, that these tensions will doom the projects that created them. The conflicts seem to be tolerated. The Phillips Brooks House program in the Roosevelt Tower Housing project, for example, has received little but praise...
