to refrain from disturbing the Christ

Spirit of Revenge

at would SEEM says District At
torney Dyer. that the precipitatc
action of the Aroostook County au-
thoiities against these individuals
does not reveal n great desire for
law enforcement but rather a spirit
of revenge against thos who inter
fered with their program.
1T is to be desired that witnesses
before any court who give valuable
testimony under a guarantee of inn
munity should be protected in every
other court. in order that n contract
between state and FEDERAL officials
may be faithfully kept by all Off
Gals.
Il will assist in apprehending vio-
lators' of any law in which the fed
cral govcrnncntt Is concerned. but
certainly do object to the arrest OF
people not because they violated the
law hut because they gave testimony
in federal court.
Il shall see that the courts and
the public shall understand that the
reason for this action is persecution
and not law enforcement"
