 After a general discussion of the situation as a whole, with some taxpayers reporting extensive re- pairs without any raise in taxes and others in the aggrieved GA Tax payers group, motion was made to take up a collection for the hiring of a lawyer to press the tax payers case against the town.

The War Assets Administration
rescinded today an earlier report
that it will ask new bids for the
disposal Of Passamaquoddy Village
in Maine
officials of Eastport, Me, are
seeking to convert the tidal power
project into a displaced persons
training center.
A War Assets spokesman told a
reporter he was wrong" in stating
this morning that the 232-acre vii
lage and its $50 buildings would be
readvertised for new bids.
1.-The policy has not, as I under
stood, been set,' he said this after
noon. Disposal of the property is
still a matter of decision"
Aides of Senator Brewster, Repub-
lican, of Maine, in whose Office the
displaced persons training plan was
evolved, said James A. Mollison, as
sociate director of the War Assets
Administration, assured them today
that no decision has been made to
readvertise Quoddy village.
A Brewster aide said he tele-
phoned Mr.. Mollison as soon as he
had heard of the reported new de-
velopment and was told by Mr.. Mol
lison that he knew nothing of the
purported action.
Mr.. Mollison was quoted as saying
he had discussed the Quoddy situa-
ton with Administering Robert M.
Littlejohn last night and that no
Reimbursement of bids was pressed
upon in their conversation. Neither
Mr.. Littlejohn or Mr.. Mollison could

Everywhere the speech seemingly
made deep impression, with one
veteran diplomat saying Che COM
ment of his associates was very ia
vorable. He emphasized that the
'universality' of the Truman ap-
proach to global problems struck a
responsive note.
Particularly, he said, the stress
that the President placed on equality
OF partnership of all the Americas
was pleasing. This fact was evident
in the applause that greeted Mr..
