The governor said he realizes
there are many problems in try

food industry.
One Of the problems, he said,
is the differences betwee n
watermen. He said he has been
told these differences cannot be
harmonized-"that the rivalry
between tongers and dredgerS,
between crab-potters and trot-
liners was such as to make a
reconciliation of their differ

"As one who has lived with
these people all my life, I refuse

days of classes last week, and

A company statement Satur-

The company said its origi-

from the union. This included

Garfield Park
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

Every first time visitor at
the new Star building asks
about the park across the
way.
1t is Garfield Park, a nice
little park, only two blocks
wide along the north side Of
Virginia avenue Sc.
It's an interesting arbore-
tum with sycamores, swamp
white Oaks, elms, beeches,
naples, hackberryS, lindens,
pines and hemlock and some
trees the writer has not yet
identified.
1t probably was named in
the 1880s after the assassina-
ton of the goth President.
The houses that border it
seem to date back to the 8Os
or COS.
The little park is not his
only monument. He stands
in bronze in a traffic island
at Second street and Mary

30 OUT OF 100 EXCUSED
More U. S. Youths Discovering Ways
Of Avoiding Call to MiIitory Duty
BY ALFRED S. EICHNER
star stan Writer

Although few mericans
would purposely dodge the draft,
many others are finding con-
venient ways to avoid 1t.
Their numbers are growing
each year.
Today, 30 out of every 100
American boys are escaping
military service.
Four years from now. the
figure will be 45-if cold war
tensions, the size Of the armed
forces and draft calls do not
increase.
This is the draft picture
faced today by young men in
the Washington area:
Increasing population, high
er re-enlistment rates and a
ceiling on armed forces strength
are keeping draft calls low,
Selective Service and Defense
Department officials say.
Quotas nationally are run
ming between 5000 and 5000 a
month. Calls in the Washing
ton area, ranging from 81 to
100 so far this year, average
so a month.
Nearly half of these quotas
are being filled by volunteers
boys who ask their draft board
to call them up Immediately
in order to end uncertainty
about their military service.

when many boys have just
graduated from school. the

The majority-22 per cent
are rejected for military service
because they are physically or
mentally unfit. BY 1868, it will
be 80 per cent, officials believe.

BY CHARLES L. HOFFMAN

OCEAN CITY, Md, Aug. "a.
Gov. Tawes will work for the
reelection of all seven of
Maryland's Democratic repre-
SentativeS next year.
The Governor yesterday urged
all Democratic Office holders
and leaders to work just as
hard next year in the congress
sional races as if they were
running for Office themselves.
His Endorsement was given
in an off-the-cuff speech at
the final session of the United
Democratic Women'S Club an
nual summer meeting here.
None of the Congressman
has announced for reelection,
The Governors Endorsement
was interpreted as a move to
head off whatever opposition
may be forming for them.
Endorsed Individually
Maryland's Democratic lead
ers have indicated they not only
would like to avoid a presiden-
tial primary in the State, but
also any major primary opposi-
ton for the seven incumbent
congressman.
In issuing his Endorsement,
the Governor named the con-
gresSmen individually. On the
stage with him at the time were
Representative Foley of West
ern Maryland's sixth district
and Representative johnson of
the Eastern Shores first dis
trict.
His statements came after
Representative Foley had
warned that the congressman
would not have the advantage
of 1858 when Gov. Tawes' name
was on the ballot.
"Smear" Protested
The women also were warned
by State Party Treasurer David
Hume, that the Republicans
next year would try to divide
the Democrats as they have in
the past.
He said the Republicans have
succeeded, Gin Smearing the
great house of labor with the
bloody brush of Hoffa."
They have convicted the
farmers with treacherouS half
truths of having contributed to
the high cost of living. Dedi-
Gated legislators who would
conserve our natural resources
and give dignity to human re-
souces have been slandered
with the slogan of 'spenders',"
he charged.
| Representative johnson said
that contrary to the charges OF
being SpenderS, the Democrats
we're going to cut the Cover
nor's budget by a billion dollars
this year. The only depart
mental budget increase, he
said, has been for the health
and welfare.

ALTHOUGH LIVING in the
Middle West, his father was
a disciple of John H. NoyeS
of the Oneida IN. " COM
munal marriage or free
love" community. Young
Guiteau lived in the commu-
nifty three yearS-Civil War
years. After, he tried to make
a living exposing it.
He managed to 60 any
where he wanted on the rail-
roads for free. He would tell
the conductor that he was
ION a mission for Christ"
Some bounced him; others
did not. He skipped hotel and
rooming house and mer-
chants bills wherever he
went.
He tried to make a living
by hiring halls and giving
religious lectures for Is cents
admission. Failing in that he
turned to politics in the 1880
campaign. That was the year
that the "Stalwarts" trying
to nominate Grant for a
third term became dead
locked with the Half Breeds"
supporting Blaine. Garfield,
a dark horse, was nominated.
The Stalwarts were against
Civil Service legislation and
for a hard policy on the
South; the Half Breeds were
for the. reform legislation
and were suspected of being
soft on the South.
Guiteau wrote a speech for
Garfield's election. He had
difficulty getting anyone to
listen to it; but he did have
it printed in a pamphlet and
kept passing it out at Repub-
lican headquarters.
The speech contained a
passage advocating a solid
North against a solid South,
a complete political victory
to make another military one
unnecessary. He thought
this won the election for Gar
field and asked for the Paris
consulate.
After months of rebuffs he
decided that he was the
"Stalwart of StalwartS";; that
God had inspired" him to
remove" Garfield; that be-
cause Vice President Arthur
was a Stalwart, everything
would be well.
The assassination brought
about one thing. Congress
concluded that protection
against job seekers was nee
eSSary and passed the Civil
Service legislation.
