Cities in Crisis. The major aim of the President's proposals was to induce private industry to assume a larger role in solving the nation's housing problems, as proposed in a study by a presidential slum-housing commission headed by Industrialist Edgar Kaiser.

Cavanagh, who displaced incumbent Miriani in 1962 thanks partly to Gordon's exposes, unsuccessfully sought to get his onetime friend and ally fired. His reason: Gordon had turned on Cavanagh, accusing him of borrowing money from appointees, heavy drinking, womanizing and generally following in the wayward footsteps of Miriani.
