MAINE SPY SCARE
 FULLY EXPLAINED
Gov. Sewall Was Result of Statement Written in
 Good Faith

Augusta, Me, May 27- (UP) - Gov. Sumner Sewall said today that the Maine spy-scare last week was the result of a statement that was mot subject to legal proof (though) it was written in good faith"
 A notice sent to some 5000 mem- bers of Civilian Defense organiza- tions by Col. Francis H. Farnum, state OCD director, said that Axis agents had been Altering into the state.
 Gov. Sewall, after an investigation said the notice was issued "as an alternative to the repeated requests by competent military authorities who had formally asked for a public proclamation calling on all citizens of Maine to be on the alert against hostile armed forces and possible bands of armed fifth columnists.
 Tt was deemed wiser to confine the notice of alert to members of the Civilian Defense organization since we are a nation at war there is obviously ample reason for the citizens of Maine and the public to be on the alert. There is no cause for alarm"
