NEW YORK--A first step in a community approach to the problems of alcoholism and the "skid row" alcoholic is being taken at the Manhattan Bowery Project, located on New York's lower East Side. Since November 27, 1967, when the Project opened its doors to the indigent, homeless, Bowery alcoholic, it has admitted close to 300 men for an extensive five-day program of detoxification.
