LEWIS REJECTS
PLAN TO Tie UP
TO STATE SLATE
Won't Mix in Race for
GovernorShip
BY THEODORE HUNTLEY

There will be no deal on the
Maryland governorship so far as
Davey Lewis is concerned.
This is authoritative and final.
1t is the answer to continuing
efforts of a little group of New
Dealers in Washington and Mary
land to work cut a complete har-
mony ticket for State offices, to
be entered in the September pri-
mary with White House blessing
and support.
1t is also the answer to personal
efforts of President Byrd, of the
University of Maryland, to build
such a program around himself as
the New Deal choice for Governor
and Lewis as the choice for Sena-
tor.
Secret conferences over a period
Of several weeks, an effort by Byrd
to interest at least one Cabinet
member in TIE plan. and innum-
cradle interviews and converse
tions with the same general end
In view, all boil down to this:
LISTENS, WON AGREE
Lewis will listen to anything
along this or any other line which
seems likely to promote party har-
mony in Maryland. But he is run
ming for the Senate. He regards
1t as a Federal office. He believes
1t should be fought out on Federal
issues. And he will not only resist
any plan to mix up the Senatorial
campaign with the governorship
campaign, but will neither enter
into any agreement to tie the two
together nor go on any slate which
binds him to support one Candi-
date or set of candidates for the
governorShip and other State Of |
fices as against a different set.
NO TIE THAT BINDS
1t still appeared possible yester-
day that a New Deal slate will be
launched in Maryland before the
primary of September 12-possibly
within the next week or ten days. |
But if it is it cannot bind Lewis
to support the other candidates
on it.
This strategy leaves him in po-
eition to accept in good faith the
support of any individual or group
in the State, regardless of their
predictions or obligations in
other directions. 1t leaves him on
friendly terms with both Jackson
and Curran in Baltimore, with
Attorney General O'Conor, with
Senator SasScer in Prince Georges,
with Comptroller Gordy on the
Eastern Shore, and likewise with
Byrd.
TYDINGS OFFENDS JACKSON
1t has also been the TydingS
strategy, but, in the case of the
Senator, has had the unfortunate
effect Of offending if not alienat-
ing Mayor Jackson of Baltimore,
who had expected the Senator to
60 along with a Tydings-Ja Jackson
slate. In the counties the same
organization elements are to con-
siderable extent supporting both
candidates, but there are rum
blings beneath the surface in Bal
timore which are not altogether
encouraging to Tydings' chances
there.

Because, after all, everybody who

the Newporters to have that hap

to them There is a strong prob
ability that if Herr Hitler had seen
Bailey's Beach before it was de-
stroyed, he would have claimed it's
