Description
Carrying large placards and singing "God Bless America," 60 angry members of anti-housing Small Property Owners League staged a demonstration at City Hall on May 20, 1952, while Mayor Bowron was holding conferences on the redhot $110,000,000 public housing issue. Later they stormed into City Hall but were twice rebuffed when they tried to attend the mayor's conferences.
