His confident declaration was in answer to a recent call by two members of Congress for a Government audit and investigation of the federally assisted "new town." Developers of the community, led by former CORE Director Floyd McKissick, may indeed have nothing to hide-although critics question how some $5 million in federal funds have been used on the project.
