Pusey Will Confer On Urban Renewal

President Pusey will meet with leading Cambridge citizens and the city planning board next week to discuss possible cooperation between the University and municipal officials to speed up Cambridge's urban renewal program.

Admiral Edward Cochrane (Ret.), M.I.T.'s vice-president in charge of governmental relations, will represent the Institute's president, James R. Killian at the dinner meeting.

City officials and local businessmen hope that the cooperation of the University and M.I.T. will speed up and improve the program which could completely eradicate Cambridge's slums and modernize its antiquated areas. The federal government, which will bear two-thirds of the urban renewal project's costs, approved Cambridge as a renewable area several months ago.
