Description	Lorraine Robinson at the doorway of her new home on Tasker st. Several dozen followers of state Rep. T. Milton Street (D-Phila.) today began occupying vacant units of theTasker Homes public housing project at 31st and Tasker sts. in the Grays Ferry section of Philadelphia, The move-in process generally was peaceful and orderly. In contrast to last night's demonstration at the site which sparked several rachial confrontations in the predominantly white South Philadelphoia neighborhood. Phila. Housing Authority (PHA) officials said the homes were only "open for inspection" and not for rehabitation, since they lack electricity, water and other utilities. The 121 units were emptied three years ago to accommodate senior citizen housing. But renovation of the units, based on the receipt of federal funds has not started.
