in the Nation.
The opinion was contained in a
letter to John j. Nowakowski, chief

from Arthur K. Taylor, former Bal

Democratic and independent
voters in Maryland are openly
throwing their support to his can
didacy because they are "disgusted
with Gov. O'Conors administration,
Theodore R. McKeldin, Republican
gubernatorial candidate, declared
last night at Republican rally at
the Kensington Armory.
Gov. O'Conor, the speaker charged
has broken his campaign pledges and
is consorting with men he did not
support before. In Montgomery
County, the Governor condemned
Col. E. Brooke Lee as political boss
in 1888, and now he embraces him in
an effort to get reelected, Mr.. Nc
Keldin asserted.
Points to Broken Promises.
How can a man who breaks all
his promises expect the support OF
honorable voters?" he asked.
Declaring many Democrats ir
Western Maryland, the Eastern
Shore and Anne Arundel County
had pledged their support to his
candidacy, Mr.. McKeldin told the
audience of some 300 persons who
braved the storm to attend the rally
that his opponents are lin for a
surprise" at the general election

State Income Tax
Can Be Eliminated .
Declares Campaign to
Dispense With Levy
Is Political Buit
BY the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE, Oct. II. - Gov.
O'Conor declared last night in a
radio broadcast that anybody who
attempts to win votes by saying that
income taxes in Maryland can be
eliminated altogether at this time,
is simply making another So tag
promise"
Opening his campaign for re-elec-
ton, Gov. O'Conor asserted the tax
could not be eliminated altogether,
and that "any such foolish attempt
would mean that the hospitals, child
care institutions and the schools
would not have sufficient financial
support.
Lauds War Agencies.
Gov. O'Conor explained that "the
extraordinary state of affairs in
Maryland and in the Nation" had
changed campaigning opportunities
"even for such an important Office as
the governorship," and added that
he had decided not to conduct his
usual campaign tour throughout the
State.
Claiming that Maryland had taken
an active part in the war effort, from
military, economic and industrial
standpoints, the Governor lauded
the work of State war agencies and
contended appointments to those
agencies had been without the in
lection of politics or ulterior con-
sideration."
Cites COP Appointments.
Gov. O'Conor said he had named
Republicans to three of the most
important" war posts of the State
M. Frank Roberts to the Maryland
Council of Defense as chairman,
Col. Henry c. Stanwood to the
dictatorship of selective service and
Tasker G.. Lowndes to Craftsmanship
of the State Board of Education.
my confidence in these men has
been justified, and in their selection
absolute proof is found that the
Maryland rule of no politics in the
war effort is sound one," he said.
The Governors Republican op-
ponent, Theodore r. McKeldin
charged earlier in the week that the
States large surplus was an indi-
cation that the income tax could be
eliminated.

Demand for Gas, Oil
At Refineries Drops
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
Demand for gasoline and motor
oils during August, as measured
principally by refinery sales, drop
ped 81 per cent below a year before,
falling to 51600,000 barrels, the
Bureau of Mines reported yester-
day.
Bureau officials explained, how
ever, that this lowering of calls on
refiners was due not only to reduced
consumption resulting from ra-
tioning in the East but also to the
fact that retailers were able to draw
upon excess stocks they accumu-
lated before rationing began in July.
