Indictment Against Biddeford Officials Dismissed
An indictment accusing Biddeford Mayor Clement H Deschambault and City Clerk Ralph Binette of larceny linked to 1292.08 in city funds was dismissed by York County Superior Court Justice Randolph A Weatherbee after defense demurrers argued the charge lacked a crime description. The two had been indicted earlier this month and released on 2000 bail each while other related charges remain pending or appealed to the Maine Supreme Court.

He may attend the U N General Assembly in New York in late November, seeking a meeting with Kennedy, but the plan remains uncertain. Secretary of State Rusk travels to New York for talks with foreign ministers, including Soviet Foreign Minister Gromyko, with Berlin disarmament and Cuba likely topics.

Orphan Bus Needs A Home By ROY A WHITCOMB JR
The Cumberland County Emergency Communications Network built a mobile disaster center from an old school bus but no public safety agency needs it now. If unused, the bus and its radio gear may be junked. Lt. Guy W. Savage of Maine State Police praised the project but noted the bus would be rarely used. The idea arose during a forest search for a missing girl, when multiple agencies coordinated radios in a single gathering area.
