would be TO seek 10 bring new life

Is to give the rank and Ale o larger

Town Chairman Joe Mulville at one
side and tho group ruled by State
Chairman J. Francis Smith Oh the

During the election campaign
Mayor Scully managed the delicate
feat Of balancing himself between

the support OF both. II was this that
made possible his election.
But now the balancing becomes
more difficult for the mayor every
