Maine Officials Seek Relief in Indian Land Claims
Gov. James Longley and Atty. Gen. Joseph Brennan flew to Washington to press Congress to shield Maine land purchases and bond sales from Indian claims affecting about 60 percent of the state. Maine plans 15.4 million dollars in 10 year general obligation bonds as the first test of market acceptance after a prior bond-bank shortfall. The 1972 suit by Passamaquoddy and Penobscot sought 300 million dollars for land taken. Interior urged amending to seek return of land now held by 350,000 non Indians. Longley warned that short range relief must come from Washington.
