Charges Dropped Against POWs Censured Instead by Navy
After three months of review Navy Captain John R. Warner will publicly censure two former POWs Marine Lt Col Edison Wainright Miller and Navy Capt Walter E. Wilber but not court-martial them. The charges included mutiny aiding the enemy and disloyalty. Warner briefed witnesses and concluded a public trial would harm the Navy. Seven other POWs still face mutiny charges.

Biddeford Parks Hearing Draws Three Residents
Only three Biddeford residents attended the first Parks and Recreation public hearing at Kennedy School, leaving city officials discouraged about the series. Alfred Cloutier suggested an outdoor bandshell in a park, which Braley and commissioner Earle Goodwin deemed worthy of consideration. A second hearing is planned at Biddeford High School at 7 p.m. if turnout improves.
