into an adjoining office and dosed the door behind them THE PACIFISTS lingered in the room presumably to speak with reporters also hoping eventually to discuss tiie sale with Clark whenever he emerged Their presence aroused some anxiety among IRS officers How long did they intend to stay? Would they attempt to force the hand of the IRS? Would police be called? At intervals an IRS officer would step forward and say the sale is over now Would you all clear out But for long minutes pacifists remained Both tides exercised restraint Pacifists did not press confrontation by staying indefinitely IRS personnel were cautious not to be stubborn or hasty in forcing the lingerers away LATER Mrs Bromley said that some of the pacifists came prepared to be

City Council member BYBOBMONG Two very different worlds met briefly yesterday in an Internal Revenue Service office here The event was the sale of the farm residence of pacifists Ernest and Marion Bromley EVEN THE least subtle eye could detect the contrasts there There were pacifists come to laid support to the Bromleys come to tell the IRS that the sale was fraudulent There was the IRS there to dispense with the business there to say its claim was just The Bromleys believe the claim is fraudulent because it is made against Gano Peacemakers Inc a nonprofit corporation that purchased the farm years ago The corporation they say has never made money The Bromleys believe the IRS claim was precipitated by antiwar activities of the Bromleys and a group to which they belong during the late 1950s and early 1970s The IRS has said that if foe Bromleys disapproved of the claim they should have met directly with IRS to work out the disagreement Bromley as a pacifist does not be- lieve in dealing with the IRS because so much of the tax revenue goes to the defense budget BEFORE PROCEEDINGS began casually dressed peacemakers perhaps 35 in all sat and stood about foe large room IRS officials dressed more conventionally intermingled with the others The rest were reporters and the few ibid persons come to I Silence prevailed in a climate of uneasy anticipation THE SALE began precisely at 10 am Stacked on foe desk of tax officer John Buckingham were five envelopes containing bids for the farm As foe auction commenced voices of tiie two sides mixed like two radio signals rompeting for for nw channel HOME LAST YEAR ERNEST AND leaving immediately Knee we were not pushed there was no The only flurry came when the Clark left IRS offices A buyer Thomas pacifist called after him At her words he stepped up his pace A moment later he noticed television and newspaper cameras seemed tion to the IRS auction plan Told of die sale Ernest Bromley said he wasn't sure what he would do now But he would not be dislodged easily from his home be said Marion Bromley said later that police will have to take them away when the time comes -irhat is one flung they are sure of.
