MUDD EXPECTED

By a STAFF Correspondent Of The Star.


ANNAPOLIS, February 14.-Thom-
rs B. r. Mudd of La Plata, who has
been lin fine" for the position of
commissioner Of employment and
registration, will step aside to permit
the Governor to appoint some one
else. it was reported here today.
Ever since it was publicly an
nounced that Gov. Nice had selected
Mr.. Mudd for the position, a contin-
uous stream of protests were filed at
the executive Offices. Most of the
opposition was based on the allegation
that Mr.. Mudd did not actively sup
port Mr.. Nice in the campaign.
Selection of some one else for the
employment post has been deferred
pending conference between the
Governor and Mr. Mudd, it was said
in informed Republican circles.
1t Is expected, however, that the
conference will be held soon, as the
Governor is reported anxious to make
the appointment, along with several
others OF importance. The position
pays $4,000 a year and has been held
for the past several years by Oliver
Short, who recently resigned
Among the other positions which
the Governor is expected to fill soon
is that Of State tobacco inspector.
According to reports here the job will
go to a st. Marys County man, pos
sibly Delegate Albert j. Lomax of
Leonardtown.

Substitute jobs probably will be pro-

today for the IL Fusion party sup
porters whose recent appointments
to the county treasurer's office were
Cancelled yesterday when Gov. Harry
w. Nice signed the bill permitting the
treasurer to name two of his assistants
and six clerks. 1t is effective i'm
mediately.
Frank H. Karn, president Of the
Fusion controlled board, said that he
has had no opportunity to discuss the
matter with the two other Fusion
commissioners, but declared that in
his opinion such action would be
taken by the board this afternoon.
Contracts May Be Cited.
He added that there are several
other positions in which the clerks
may be placed"
It Is not known yet whether the
board will raise the question that the
IL Fusion appointees, who were sched-
uled to begin work in the treaSurer's
Office tomorrow, had been placed
under the new four-year employees

stitution prohibits legislation affect

The legality of the contracts was
attacked recently before the board
by County Commissioner Robert D.
Hagner, Democratic organization
minority group member, on the
grounds that county statutes require
the commissioners to advertise for
bids on all labor involving the ex-
penditure Of more than $3.50.
County Treasurer j. Forest Walker,
in whom the bill vests the first pa
tronage powers ever accorded the
head of Montgomery County de-

SPRING FASHIONS
ARE INTERESTING

Rare color combinations, unique
types and arrangements OF trim
mings. and tricky fabrics are doing
their best to attract women's at
tention to the new spring fashions.
The alliance of tomato red and
chartreuse is one of the most ar
resting OF the colors that you'll
see but no more impressive than
the use Of red and yellow. A wool
