tined for China but UNRRA trans
ferred them to Yugoslavia. The
civilian production administration
didn't like this much and Slaughter,
chairman of the special house COM
mlttee on surplus property dispos-
al, called it fraudulent.
Slaughter, who is a lame duck
congressman by virtue of his de-
feat for denomination, also had
commented that La Guardia was
showing offensive impudence to
the committee.
La Guardla called the news con-
ference, read a statement which
called charges concerning the rail
diversion wild and Irresponsible"
He said that the diversion was
known to the State. Treasury and
War Department and the CPA,
headed by JPohn D. Small.
Then, the comparatively mild
letter out of the way, La Guardia
ripped off his coat and started, as
he put it, talking like an Ameri-
can"
Putting a cigar to red heat, KS
La Guardia snapped:
."What the American people anc
the veterans want to know is why
can't they get priorities for build
ing when race tracks and gin mills
have been going up for the las
nine months"
If CPA Chief Small wants tc
swap jobs for 60 days, I'll clear
up that ward-heeling corporation
IF they want to stop shipments
to Yugoslavia, let's see if they've
got the CUTS to do it.
Let him (Small) deal with the
Ydgoslavs, and I'll take ear of the
%chiseling contractors who want to
build race tracks"
Opposition to the rail diversion
deal, he summed up, is nothing but
"a grandstand play"
The diversion was made, he ex-
planned, because of congressional
stipulaticns against shipment of re.
lief goods to any countries unless
delivery vas assured. And, he
added, that just. wasn't possible in
the case of China.
All this was known, La Guardia
said, and tae diversion was ordered
before Yugoslavia aroused Amer
can wrath by forcing down two
American planes and causing five
american deaths.

J. Willard Tawes is equipped by
character, background, experience
and trainingq to give the people
of Maryland good, sound and
progressive administration of the
affairs of our State. For the past
eight years he has held the second
most important position in our State
government. This experience has
given him great familiarity with
the States institutions, with its rami-
fed business, with its tax and finan-
cial policies, with its laws, and with
its past and present problems.
No other candidate has such a
rich background of contact with,
and knowledge of, the diverse affairs
of Maryland.
While State Comptroller, Mr..
Tawes has been a member of the
State Board of Public Works. Dur
ing that time, the State tax rate has
steadily declined and the States
bonded indebtedness has been con-
stantly reduced. For these desir-
able achievements, Mr.. Tawes de
serves a fair share of the credit.
He is a successful business man,
being identified with several bust
ness enterprises on the Eastern
Shore.
By temperament, he is judicial
and moderate, industrious in the
performance of his duties and has,
l believe, the necessary firmness and
decision which will be required for
leadership in the management of
State affairs during these difficult
postwar years.
He has, by far, more widespread
appeal and support from the peo-
pie of both parties in this State
than any other single candidate. His
former statewide victories at the
polls abundantly prove this. In the
statewide election of 1912, the Re-
publicans put up no candidate for
Comptroller against Mr.. Tawes, say
ing that his conduct of the Comptrol-
ler's Office was highly satisfactory.
This was high praise, indeed, COM
ing as it did from a possible Re-
publican opponent in the coming
general election of 1916.
At the present time, the nine
counties of the Eastern Shore are
almost solidly behind him. He has
commanding and decisive support in
Central, Southern and Western
Maryland, and in Baltimore City as
well. In IA of the % counties of
Maryland, the dominant party lead
ership is at this time already pledg-
ed to Mr. Tawes. He is truly a peo-

The popularity of the Memorial
Exhibition of Paintings and Pastels
by the late William H. Singer, Jr.,
at the Washington County Museum
of Fine Arts, has been further voiced
in the demand for an open evening
before the show closes on April Ia.
The Museum, following the requests
for the galleries to be open at night,
will set aside this evening, (Thurs-
day. from Z to 10 o'clock, for the
galleries to be open to visitors who
cannot come during the daytime
hours.
In connection with the open even
ing, the Museum will present the
special appearance here of DR.. jan
Albert Goris, Commissioner of In
formation of the Belgian Govern
ment in America. DR.. Goris will
speak at $3.50, in the auditorium, on
the subject of Belgian art through
the ages; and he will present for
an initial public showing three reels
of film of special interest in the
world of art. Appropriate to the
Lenten season, the films are titled:
Belgian Art" ''Memling, Painter of
the Madonna" and "The Alteration
of the Mystic Lamb" The last
named is devoted to the spiritual
message of the most important
painting of the fifteenth century in
Flanders, the great folding altar
piece by the brothers Van Eyck.

and poet, Chef de Cabinet and

Piles candidate, commanding support
in every section of our State.
Recently one of Mr.. Tawes' OPP
ponents has said that Mr. Tawes is
the hand-picked candidate of Attor-
ney General Curran. This is ridicu-
lous. The signal support which Mr..
TaWes has in each of the four Coun-
ty Congressional Districts of Mary
land lying wholly outside of Balti-
more City, proves this charge to be
without a shred of foundation.
The opposing candidate who makes
this charge against Mr.. Tawes
neglected to tell the people of Mary
land that day an night he sought
to get Mr. Curran's support for his
own candidacy. Failing to achieve
this, he then attacks Mr.. Tawes for
having obtained what he himself
tried to get and failed This self
serving attack will fool no one.
Here is how Mr.. TaWes stands
with the members of the Democratic
party who live in the counties. l
find that in Western Maryland, for
example, in one county practically
all of the Democratic State Central
Committee and most of the in
fiuential rank and file of the party
are working for Mr.. Tawes. l find
in Southern Maryland that this same
situation is duplicated in several
counties. l find that in central Mary
land, where there are only three
counties, Mr.. Tawes already has the
leaders in one of these counties
Solidly behind him. On the Eastern
Shore of Maryland, it is almost
unanimous for Tawes. This is the
answer as to whose candidate Mr..
Tawes is. That answer is plain -
he is the candidate of the whole
Democratic party, more than any
other, throughout every part of
Maryland.
Efforts were made in the begin
ming of this campaign to avoid a
primary, by trying to find a candi-
date acceptable to various titular
leaders in the party and one who
would meet with the approval of the
rank and file throughout the State
I was favorable to this prOcedl1re if
it could be accomplished That has
failed There are now three candi-
dates in the field. 1 have thought
the matter over very, very care
fully and have reached the con-
clusion that the interests of our
party and the people of the State
will be best served by the nominal
ton and election of Mr.. Tawes, and
believing so, shall give him my
unstinted support.
