Asked about it, Gorbals Miracle Promise Is Still Britain's Worst Slum By GODFREY ANDERSON GLASGOW (AP)--Five years ago a government secretary promised a miracle for The Gorbals, toughest slum of Brit- ain's second largest city. The tenements were going to be swept away. Shining towers would bring gracious living to families jointly using a cook stove, a cold-water faucet or a toilet. Today, a few such towers stand on concrete stilts, but The Gorbals remains Britain's worst slum.

When the great emigration of |Jews from central Europe be- gan in. the early 1900s, those who came to this area settled in The Gorbals, Then came the Irish in even greater numbers.
