man from the second district. H.
Street, Baldwin. True to his
style, Baldwin gave indications
that being a freshman Congress-
man dosen't faze him one whit
He suggested to D'Alesandro that
he would like a major post, either
place on the Appropriations Com
mittee or Rivers and Harbors.
Beall, once a member of the
State Roads Commission, and who
has taken an interest in the de-
velOpment of the Savage River
Dam, also asked that he be re-
commended for places on the
Flood Control and Roads Com
mittiees. 1t is not known what
preferences Ellison has expressed.
Politicos watching the trend of
developments describe the incom-
ing Maryland delegation as con-
tanning two potential gubernatorial
candidates and one mayOralty
The gubernatorial material is rep
resented in able Congressman Lans-
dale Sasscer and ambitious H.

material is represented in Tommy
D'Alesandro who. as head of the
District Of Columbia Committee,
will be titular mayor of Washing

Tommy mildly disvows having
made the remark, but he is quoted
in the Washington Post by Jerry

paper,as having wise cracked 'If

where politics is always the piece
de resistance for luncheon, a story
is going the rounds which, to the
oracles, sheds considerable light
on the immediate past and future.
1t seems that shortly after his
moral victory at the polls and with
the news writer's having launched
his mayoralty campaign as good
dope, McKeldin said: "Pd rather
lose my right arm than run against
Jackson because he was so good
to me in the election"
So Foxy Howard Jackson who
after 16 years in office is ripe to
take a worst jOlting with Willie
Curran who still remains the right
bower in Democrats politics.
Furthermore, a strong Democratic
candidate for mayor in next April's
primaries, with any political back
ing at all and a gift for firebrand
oratory, might topple hizzoner
from his entrenched post. At least
this is the opinion of those who
guessed" the recent elections
most accurately.
That Jackson is not Indifferent
to these undercurrents is indicat-
ed not alone by his harmony as
pect toward Curran but also by
his enfolding other factions and
individuals most of whom are on
the outs with Curran and with
Governor O'Conor. Notable omong
these is, of course, Jack Pollack,
who along with Ex-Congressman
Ambrose Kennedy, is credited with
throwing a monkey wrench into
the Governors city majority.
Three men long identified as
Pollack's friends have just received
appointments to city jobs: S. l..
Zimmerman appointed to the
Board of Park Commissioners, Ed
ward Azrael appointed as a men,
Der of Board of Zoning Appeals,
and Edward Sander who has been
named Assistant City Solicitor.
Anyway, the political pot in
Baltimore, which had such a shak-
ing up. is boiling and the talk runs
to conjecture about the mayor
atty. 1t can be said at this time
that Curran still stands back Of
his pre-nomination avowals that
Jackson is the man for mayor and
he has no one up his sleeve. But
come the turn of the year, and
the ides of March draw nigh, Cur
ran may be forced to re-evaluate
last summers thinking.

THE MAYOR OF BALTIMORE
Political rence-mending is we'll
under way in Baltimore City by
both the followers Of Mayor Howard
Jackson and the governors politi-
cal pilot William Curran who saw
a sizeable, anticipated majority for
Governor Herbert O'Conor dwindle
away to nearly the vanishing point.
Fence-building is also under way
by Republican boss Galen TAFT and
his long-shot gubernatorial candi-
date Teddy Roosevelt McKeldin,
who surprised everyone in the
election, most of all himself.
And unless the signals, now
agreed upon, are changed, the
entente cordiale developed by Cur
ran and Jackson for a sO-called
"perfumed" Legislature, will be ex-
tended to include the Baltimore
City council. In other words, de-
spite shadows of suspicion as to
who did what to whom in the
election. the ancient enemies of
Curran and Jackson will make COM
mon cause in purging city council
just as they did the state legislature
There are sound reasons for this
continued fusion OF political effort.
For one thing, McKeldin is feel
ing his oats plenty and is candi-
date for mayor without ever lifting
a finger in his own behalf. 1t
just took a couple of news stories
to convince him and TAFT that he
could scare the daylights out of
the Democrats come next years
primaries and elections. Second
ly, Mckeldin unqusetionaly could
make political capital regarding
the quality of Baltimores city
council.
