World Service Passports NEW YORK (AP) Garry Davis, "world citizen," is traveling on a passport not issued by any government in the world. It is a World Service Authority passport and on his arrival here from Paris, he had no problem passing through im- siigration. Davis, 54, said on his arrival here Monday that the passport was honored on three previous trips to the United States.

He said he had written to President Ford to tell him he would be arriving in the U.S. to at- tend the World Citizen Assembly in San Francisco July 20-25. He said this undoubtedly smoothed his way through immigration. Davis, a native of Bar Harbor, said he was "appreciative to the United States government in recognizing the validity of the World Service Authority passport, of which about 10,000 have been issued." He said the World Service Authority owns property in France which "is legally recognized as world territory." 'o t. In nrjte of a demonstrators N'az.

In some of his strongest criticism of npnaligned nations, Kissinger said "bloc politics" has become an increasingly serious problem at the United Nations. "In the process," Kissinger warned, "a forum for accommodation has been transformed into a setting for confrontation "Never before have the industrialized nations been more ready to deal with the problems of development in a constructive spirit. Yet lopsided, loaded voting, biased results and arbitrary tactics threaten to destroy these possibilities," Kissinger said.

They said that ERDA apparently plans no in-depth study of tidal power in eastern Maine, but that a re-evaluation of the Passarnaquoddy tidal power project, "coordinated with Canadian efforts, is particularly 'imely."

Hicks Plans School Bias Strategy BOSTON (AP) City Councilor Louise Day Hicks says she will try to prevent the council from spending any money on school desegregation. Mrs.

Hicks, chairman of the council's Ways and Means Committee, said Monday "I personally will not report out of committee any money for desegregation." But Mrs. Hicks could be overridden by three other members cf the Ways and Means Committee. U.S. District Court Judge W. Arthur Garrity Jr.

White presented a $147 million School Committee budget to the council. He had reduced the budget by $30 million from the School Committee's request.

$18,000 a year, the salary received by the man who previously held the post. Last week the governor said he would approve no more than $15,000 and Mrs. Weil threatened to quit. The following day, however, she said she would stay on if the lower salary is approved. She said she would return the money to the state, except for that needed to pay her out-of- pocket expenses.

Mrs. Weil said she hoped to prove in six months that she was worth $18,000 a year and then to be paid accordingly. Otherwise, she said she would quit at the end of the trial period. In a letter received by the Executive Council Monday, Lcmglev said Mrs. Weil showed "volatile behavior" in the salary dispute.

"I question at this point whether I personally could recommend that she continue in state service," Longley said in the letter. "However, I recommended at the council meeting to approve a salary of $15,000 which I thought was very fair for a person starting in this position. If the decision of the PUC is to hire her at that salary, I will keep my commitment," he said. He said it is "entirely up to her" whether she accepts the salary or volunteers her services.

The National Weather Service at Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks, Conn, reported early today that 4.57 inches of rain had fallen thus far this month with 2.47 coming within the last 24 hours. The normal rainfall for the entire month of July is 3.41 inches.

The Connecticut River at Hartford, Conn, was expected to crest at 11 feet this morning, about five feet below flood stage. The weather service ended a flash flood warning for lit- chfield and the interior of New Haven counties in Connecticut and Berkshire County, Massachusetts at 10 p.m. Monday after all light local showers disappeared from radar. The service continued the watch because it expected some heavy showers this morning. Heavy rains swelled streams Monday, causing some area residents to evacuate for higher ground and stranding motorists along roadways in the region.

"I think it would be a gross impropriety on the part of the governor and the Executive Council to commit in advance to a $3,000 raise after six months for any state employe," he said. Mrs.

Weil claimed that Longley's position on her salary was an "affront to my professional standing" and had nothing to do with her qualifications. She said the governor's stance stemmed from her refusal to sign an undated letter of resignation from her post of commissioner of business regulation after Longley was elected governor last year. Mrs. Weil stepped down rather than sign the letter and says she did so because such a letter would have compromised her in performing regulatory duties. Mrs.

Weil has worked as an economist for the Federal Reserve Board and for American and European banks. Longley said in his letter to the council that the reason he asked for an undated letter of resignation was that he had reports from her "friends and foes alike" that "she tends to be abrasive, pushy and has difficulty getting along with and supervising people." He said he wanted to give her a chance. Rosenbergs Seek Files WASHINGTON (AP) The sons of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg are going to court in their battle to prove their parents' innocence 22 years after the Rosenbergs were executed. Robert and Michael Meero- pol, who go by the name of the family that adopted them, filed suit Monday in U.S. District Court seeking a court order requiring the federal government to turn over all files on the celebrated espionage case.

The Rosenbergs were convicted of passing secrets of the atomic bomb to the Soviet Union. Michael Meeropol, 32, and his brother, 28, claim their parents were victims of the government's desire for a political victory at a time when anti- Communist sentiment in the United States was strong. The sons' suit also sought an injunction barring any further destruction of government records in the wake of a recent disclosure that the U.S. attorney in New Mexico had "pulped" records on David Greenglass, a key prosecution witness in the case.

A boat was used to carry several families from one house. The Hartford River Forecast Center said minor flooding also was reported in Naugatuck, Conn, and North Adams, Mass. Watertown Town Manager Paul Smith called the early morning flood the worst since 1955 when Connecticut was devastated by floodwaters. "Usually it's a brook. But this morning it's all over the place," he said.

Water reached into the first floors of some homes and businesses, washed out one road and spread debris into the downtown area. About 15 miles of southbound lanes of Interstate-91 in the Springfield, Mass, area were closed because of water two feet deep in the rush hour. Ryan, Gosselin Nominated to Personnel Panel AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) -Patricia E. Ryan of Gardiner and H.L. Gosselin of Lewiston were nominated to the State Personnel Board Monday by Gov.

James B. Longley. Longiey said both nominees have professional personnel backgrounds.

Rhode Islanders protested that former President Nixon was making their state bear the brunt of the nation's base closings- Very little has been done since then with the naval base sites, and most of the area is still owned by the Navy. A yacht-building facility has leased a small area, and the Federal Economic Develop -ment Administration recently gave the state $8.5 million for a major shipyard. The Electric Boat Division of General Dynamics set up shop in Quonset, employing 2,000 persons. The Quonset operation is unaffected by a strike of 10,000 metal trades union workers at other Electric Boat sites. Meanwhile, the state has embarked on an aggressive program to attract businesses, and has received 1,200 responses, 100 of them from overseas, according to Roberson, Interested companies, which Roberson declined to name, include high technology enterprises, metal industries and service industries oriented to the ocean, which can profit from the port facilities offered by the Navy yards.

But these developments all would involve considerable time, and Roberson said it might be five years before these areas are back on their feet. The city of Newport was particularly hard hit. "We're sort of getting our heads out of the mud now and things don't look too bad," saic Newport Mayor Humphrey J. Donnelly III. "But there's still a void in the job market." After a 12-month slump, he said, single-family homes are beginning to sell again, although multiple-family dwel- ings that housed Navy families are still in trouble.

'A lot of businesses aimed al the Navy closed," Donnelly said, including the bars along what was known as "Blood Alley." But other businesses have converted," he said. "Leo's First and Last Stop, which catered to sailors, has been converted to Leo's Family Restaurant, and it's doing OK."
