"The Wagner Administration has proved that it is unable to handle the housing problem," Gray said, “and we don’t want ! him to come to Harlem next year to ask for votes." Gray is the director of the Com­ munity Council on Housing at 6 E. 117th St. At City Hall The council held a demonstra­ tion of 150 to 200 persons Mon­ day at City Hall to urge action to take over slum dwellings un­ der the receivership law, and; correct violations in them. Gray had said earlier that some 2,000 persons were to take part in the demonstration, includ­ ing several organizations, but blamed the rainy weather for the comparatively shabby turnout. He called the demonstration a success In spite of the relatively poor participation, adding that it had effectively registered the dis­ content of Harlem tenants with the "Wagner Administration." plan Another Nevertheless, he said, another demonstration would be held this coming Monday at the City Hous­ ing and Redevelopment Board, 2 Lafayette St., to "demand that they move into 117th St.” from Fifth to Madison Avenues to take over and improve tenements on that block. Plans for that protest demon­ stration were outlined by Gray Wednesday evening at a meeting at the Dunleavy - Milbank Com­ munity Center, 14 W. 118th St. "We're tired of inspections. That’s all they do in Harlem. We don’t want inspectors. We want action,” Gray declared. He said he will call again for the city to set up a three - man arbitration hoard of referees to be used to handle landlord cases because of the slowness of the courts. In addition to the court's slow action. Gray complained the courts deal too gently with slum _ lords who. he added, must bej dealt with swifter and stiffer pen-i alties. ■I as long as you’re up get me a Grant’s Get the Scotch that everyone is getting op for.
