BY the Assoeiotsd Press

Fifty cases involving foremen and
other supervisory employees have

Eastport and Maine
Officials Here for
Quoddy Plan Talks

Proponents of a proposal to con-
vert deserted Quoddy Village in
Maine into a.training center for dis
placed persons will meet this after
noon with Labor Department and
Office of Education officials in a
move to clear the way for sale of
the community to the city of East
port, Me.
A spokesman said the group,
which includes officials of East
port and the State, would seek a
conference tomorrow with War
Assets Administrator Robert M.
Littlejohn.
Eastport wants to take over the
232-acre village and its $50 buildings
flom WAA at 100 per cent dis
count under the welfare and educa-
tional provisions of the War Surplus
Act. Under a tentative agreement
with Frank Cohen, New York and
Philadelphia industrialist, displaced
persons from Germany would be
brought to this country and would
be trained in technical skills at
Quoddy for about six months before
sending them to Argentina, Brazil
and Uruguay.
The group met this morning in the
office of Senator Brewster, Repub-
lican, of Maine. The Government
officials have been asked to attend
the conference there at $3.50 pm,
according to the spokesman.
Closed Door Meeting Held.
Present at this mornings meeting
behind closed doors were Ralph Col
we'll, Eastport city manager; Oscar
Brown, chairman Of the City Coun-
ell; Roscoe Emery, chairman Of the
School Board; Everett Creation. ex-
ecutive secretary of the Maine De-
velopment Commission and repre-
sentative of Gov Horace A. Hildreth;
Harland A. Ladd, State commission
er of education, and Mr. Cohen.
The Office of Education has given
an opinion that the training pro-
gram proposed at Quoddy is indus
trial rather than educational and
that Eastports application there
fore does not qualify for educational
and welfare allowances under the
Surplus Property Act. Proponents
of the plan contest this view, con-
tending it is wholly educational and
nonprofit.
Mr.. Cohen has said he proposes
to operate only pilot plants of his
tractor and allied industries at
Quoddy to give the trainees we'll
rounded educations in self-sustain-
ing enterprises. Products assembled
at the center would be exported,
but proponents say that any profits
above operating costs would be put
back into the project.
Delay in Decision Asked.
Senator Brewster and Eastport
officials have asked that no decision
be made on the disposal of the vii
lage until there has been "clarifi-
cation" conference between all in
terested parties and Government
agencies concerned.
Yesterdays developments included
a meeting Of State and Eastport
officials in Augusta. Me-, and con-
flicting reports from the WAA here.
A press spokesman for the war sur
plus agency told reporters yesterday
morning that new bids would be
asked on the purchase of the village.
High WAA officials said they knew
nothing of any Reimbursement for
bids. The press spokesmen later told
reporters that he was wrong" in
his original statement.
The policy has not, as I under
sttood been set" he said? Disposal
OF the property is Still a matter of
decision"

GreenbeIt Head
Charges 'Co|Iusion by
Probers and Residents

"ColluSion" between "a small
group in Greenbelt" and the House
Small Business Subcommittee inves-
tigating co-operatives. was charged
last night by Greenbelt Consumer
Services, Inc
Mayor George Bauer Of Green
belt said today, however, he knew
of no ''collusion."
Samuel F.. Ashelman, general
manager of the town coop. made
the charge in the course of a mass
meeting in the town school called
by group identifying itself as the
Greenbelt Improvement Association
Ito present the true facts" of the
current coop controversy.
In a session marked at the close
by anger and confusion among the
spectators, Mr. Ashelman demanded
to know where the association had
obtained the hearing transcript
which speakers had recited the pre-
ceding three hours of the meeting.
Failed to Get Copies.
'The coop tried to get hold of
these at the end of the hearings"
Mr.. Ashelman declared. But we
were told by the subcommittee that
no copies were available.
Il think this is evidence of collu-
sion between a small group in
Greenbelt and the subcommittee,
he added.
Mr.. Bauer pointed out his posi-
ton as Mayor. May be the reason
why got copy of the transcript"
He noted he had been elected by
the people Of Greenbelt.
Mr.. AShelman is only the gen.
eral manager Of the coop. The
town is bigger than the co-opera-
tive business" Mr.. Bauer said today.
Mr.. AshelmanS charge was in
terrupted by cries for adjournment
and point of order At the same
time, several of the more than 300
present started leaving the audi
torium.
Whats the matter, are you
scared" Mr.. Ashelman shouted.
Don't you want to stay and hear
the whole story of the hearingS?"
He was answered by mingled ap-
plause and cat-calls.
Mayor Bauer, who presided over
the meeting as a private citizen
said at the close that he consid-
cred the meeting had accomplished
its purpose
The reaction of the people here
shows this was not a closed meet
ing" Mr.. Bauer declared. Every
one heard both sides of the testi-
mony of the House hearings and
that's what we came down for"
Before the hectic ending of the
session, there had been only one
major interruption of the recita-
tions. This occurred when Mr..
Bauer was asked te repeat passage
of the hearing transcript he was
reading.
Il think this repetition was asked
to emphasize point in favor of the
Coop" he declared. II said at the
beginning of this meeting that there
would be no partiality and no
rowdyism, and I say it again"
Organization Recalled.

The Greenbeit improvement AS
sociation was organized two years
ago as the group which becomes
spontaneously active when contro-
versial issues are raised in the COM
munity,' Mr.. Bauer explained. He
added that at present there is only
one active officer in the group, w. F.

In addition to the Mayor and Mr..
Donahue, Lloyd McEwen, past COM
