RE: Massive Disruption of Metropolitan
Detroit

Gentlemen:
Mr. Ritchie has amended his motion to join the 

suburbs in Detroit by filing a proposed plan for metro­
politan desegregation, which I have just received and 
which I am enclosing for your information. I have not 
read the proposed plan, but, from thumbing through the 
pages, it looks interesting. It will be interesting to 
see how* the State Board's submissions compare with 
Ritchie's plan.

I am also enclosing, for Norman, Paul and Bill, 
a copy of Gordon's letter to Merle Henrickson, which will 
bring you up-to-day on the status of our proposed plan for 
Detroit.

Very truly yours,

William E. Caldwell f * * * '
