Senatorial Candidate
Seeks to Learn Time
Devoted to Public

With the June primaries only 10
days away Maryland political can
didates are appealing in at least
two instances to the voters interest
in their pocketbooks.
Last night Gov. o'Conor called
upon his rival for the Democratic
Senate nomination, Senator Rad
cllf1e, to state what salary he re-
ceives as first vice president and
director of Baltimore surety
bonding company.
He said that he considered such
information pertinent in deter
mining how much of Senator Rad
clif1e's time is devoted to public
business as Senator and how much
in private enterprise.
Wants Expenses Limited.
Yesterday w. Earle Cobey, can
didate for the Democratic nominal
ton for attorney general on the
ticket of j. Willard Tawes. said that
he would give full consideration to
establishing definite limitation on
the total amount of money which
directly or indirectly may be spent
on a candidate"
| He added that the "Wasteful dis
persal of money in a political CAM
palgn destroys the very principle of
our free Democratic elections and
makes mockery of the process"
AT the same time, Albert Duke,
Maryland Veterans of World War
II commander, announced in Balti-
more that his association has gen.
orally approved Gov. O'Conor's
viewpoint veterans benefit program
calling for a bonus, guaranteed
loans, housing, educat ton, and Job
preference provisions.
Also In Baltimore it was revealed
today that city policemen are re-
celvlng postcards from Frank F. j.
Daily, president of the Board of
Police Examiners, urging them to
work and vote for the Tawes-Rolo-
son-Cobey ticket.
The cards carried an authorize.
ton as campaign literature by How
ard E. Crook, city comptroller and
treasurer of the campaign.
Baldwin Backs O'Conor.
Meanwhile, the candidacy of Gov.
O'Conor. who has been Endorsed by
the CLIO, received the backing of
representative Baldwin, who has
been campaigning against the CLOS
), Political Action Committee.
! The Baltimore County organiza-
tlNn nf Mr. pa 1Iuyir, ~,
dldate for the Democratic guber-
material nomination, disclosed that
1t was supporting Gov. O'Conor for
:, the Senate, although he is the only
Statewide candidate publicly in
dorsed by the CLIO.
A spokesman for the organiza ton
fsaid the CIO issue did not enter
into the decision to support Gov.
n O'Conor for the Senate nomination.
He said the selection was made for
purely practical political considera-
tons"
Won't Remove Names.
i On the Eastern Shore, two county
Boards of Election Supervisors have
disclosed they have no immediate
plans to remove from their regis
tration lists names of voters who
had not cast ballots in the past five
years.
Worcester County Board Member
Carl Phillips said he and his fellow
board members felt that no definite
date for removal of the names had
been specified in the State law re-
quiring the action And Mrs. Lena
Pollitt, Somerset County board
clerk, said it was the understanding
IN that county that the names were
to be stricken from the lists be-
tween the primary and general
elections.
In Baltimore, Attorney General
William Curran had no comment.
He did say, however, that his office
legally represents only the Balti-
more election boards, and that the
law requiring removal of names
might be interpreted differently in
various counties.
