ATHENS (JP) Premier Deme
trios Maximos told parliament re

that every dollar allotted to Greece
will be appreciated as a symbol of

American people and will be used
exclusively for the purposes for
which it was intended."
The premier's declaration will
be interpreted as an answer to the
critics in Greece and abroad, who
have said that the proposed Ameri

fall into the hands of speculators.

Court Asked To
Close Tent Meeting
In Charlotte
CHARLOTTE P) Property
owners of Davis Park, a residential
section of Charlotte, asked superior
court Thursday to issue an injunc
tion against the holding of religious
meetings in a tent in the area,
contending that the meetings con
stitute a nuisance. They also
asked $500 damages from Mr. and
Mrs. H. L. Baldwin owners of the
lot on which the tent is located.
In their complaint, the petition
ers asserted that the Baldwins were
"using the tent as a building, hold
ing tent gatherings connected with
'holy roller religion or similar
practices whereby great noise and
disturbance occur during the day
and as late as 10:45 at night, caus
ing large automobile traffic, horn
noises, lire hazards, health and san
itation hazards."
The complaint alleged also that
"there have been instances of
drunks attending for conversion,
loud singjng and noises, and as
serted that residents could not
sleep on account of the noise.

organdies and batistes arc less

transparent finish and in novelty
self-patterned weaves, are due t
