Eastern Shore leader j. Willard
Tawes called for unity of the
party behind the senatorial can

personalities, to forget individ-

selfish motives in mind"
Mr.. D'Alesandro, who has been
opposing Mr.. Tawes behind-the-
scenes move to hand the nomi-
nation to Mr.. Mahoney, defeated
by Mr.. TydingS in the primary,
also called for unity and har-
mony.
But I want action and not

shouted.

OCEAN CITY, MD, Aug. rs
A drive was under way here late
today to persuade Mrs. Millarc
E. Tydings to accept the Demo
cratic senatorial nomination va.
lcated by her husband last Sun
DAY. Up to now. she has refused
to consider the proposal.
The drive developed as the eli
max of luncheon Of the United
Democratic Women's Clubs Of
Maryland at which party leader:
praised the work of the womer
in State politics.
First indications that the
women were getting behind Mrs
Tydings came at a private din.
ner Friday night. then broke out
into the open today with the
announcement that a telegram
was being sent to her by Mrs
Carmel Bindas of Baltimore
County, first vice president Of
the women's group.
| Phone Call Fails
Advised of the telegram, DR.
Mildred Otenasek, president Of
the organization agreed to put
in a telephone call as the tor
officer Of the organization tc
Mrs Tydings urging her to re-
consider her decision and assur-
ing her of the support Of the
women's group.
The two top officers tried un.
successfully to reach Mrs. Tyd.
ings by telephone.
She was reported. however. tt
be in southern Maryland where
she was to ofiiciate at the crown
ing Of queen.
The candidacy of Mrs. TydingS
may get its biggest push tomor-
row when she comes here to adj
dress the session.
Mrs. OteneSek said that Mrs
Tydings would be given the hon.
ored position of being the first
speaker at the session at which
a number of candidates are ex-
pected to kick off their cam
paigns.
Had MahOney Support
Mrs. Otenasek's reaction was
significant. She recently was
named Democratic National COM
mitteewoman from Maryland, a
choice made with Mahoney sup
port.
If Mrs. Tydings should give the
go ahead a real move to give her
the nomination may be stam-
peded.
Baltimore City Mayor Thomas
D'Alesandro. who has been
spearheading a drive to block
George P. Mahoney's nomination.
in a fiery windup of a speech
to the women said that Mrs.
Tydings had been offered support
for the domination as soon as it
was learned that her husband,
who is recuperating from a sew
ere attack of shingles. was with
drawing.
Gets Mock Support
The proposed candidacy OF
Mrs, Tydings drew support from
State Senator Mary L. Mock. OF
Wicomico County.
Senator Nock's support was
given added meaning since she
is a key political Office holder
of the Eastern Shore which
many observers believe. holds the
key to the nomination.
Mayor D'Alesandro said earlier
that Mrs. Mock would win back
ling by the city delegates if Mrs,
Tydings refuses to run.

Prof. George E. G. Catlin, writ

the cancellation was not only

to the Catholic population of

Festival authorities in Edin-

concert, replaced the Missa Sol

Symphony.
Professor Catlin, a noted writer
on philosophical and political
problems and one-time lecturer
at Cornell and Yale Universities,
said:

UIk Otdte Legislature.
The recommendations came
from the New York State Ca.
fhoIie Welfare Committee, Of
which Bishop William a. Seully
of Albany, is chairman. The
committees statement was SUBJ
mitfed TO fhe Joint Legisla.
fion Committee on. Marriase
and Family Law.
The Catholic committee advo-
Gated that in the employment of
the court reconciliation services
full provision should be made
to utilize religious agencies in
the reconciliation process.
The Catholic groups statement
was submitted to the Joint Legis-
lation Committee after the regu-
lar session of the Legislature had
adjourned. The Joint Legislation
Committee is scheduled to act on
the recommendations submitted
by the Catholic group, statements
from other religious organiza-
tions and interested groups be-
fore making recommendations to
the Legislature in the fall.
Noting thar ihe joint Lesis-
Iative Committee established
with . mandate to study End
develop legal and judicial pro-
eedUres which would help re-
duce or eliminate irresponsible
divorce actions, the CWc's
statement expressed hope that
fhe legislators work would
bear fruit and thus Strength
en- family life in New York"
and serve as a model for other
states and Jurisdictions.
In another recommendation
the CIVIC asked for the establish
ment of a Family Court" which
would have jurisdiction over
family matters other than di-
vorce actions. !.
Such a court, the CIVIC urged,
should exhaust every effort to-
ward reconciliation and settle
ment of difficulties by steps
short of those that would affect
the fundamentals of marriage and
the family status"
If the work of fhe proposed
Family Court should fail, the
CIVIC recommendation went on,
then actions affecting the
bond of marriage itself should
be brought TO another legal
forum which would formally
examine and determine the
merits and dement's"
The CIVIC statement took note
of what it called "the great in
crease of disrespect and disobed-
ience of the natural law" in our
society with regard to the mar
riage bond. 1t added that this
wanton disregard has brought
great harm and has been respon-
sible for many of the social prob
lens of the day.
The CIVIC concluded with the
hope that the legislators would
approach these problems with a
realization that for family life to
