posed a $3.50 fine on Donald

the presidential nomination in
the States primary.
The cleavage between Mayor
GRADY and the Governor came
out abruptly yesterday as the
Mayor gave his official well
coming speech to the party's
central committee m eetin 9
here.
Broad Powers
The committee met to name
Thomas B. Finan, Gov. Tawes'
personal choice, as the new
party chairman. He succeeds T,
Barton Harrington, Baltimore
City attorney who had served
as chairman since 1854.
Mr.. Finan, prominent attor-
ney now holding down a $10,-
000-a-year job as the Govern
or's Secretary Of State, was
given broad powers to overhaul
the party's organization, which
has been listless for years.
He said he probably would
retain Mrs. E. Brooke Lee OF
Montgomery County as a CO.
vice chairman and name a man
to serve with her.
Either the new post of vice
chairman or treasurer is en-
pected to be offered to David
Hume of Charles County who
had been Southern Maryland's
candidate for the chairman
ship.
Mr.. Hume had withdrawn
from the race once he learned
that Gov. TaweS and his ad-
visers had settled on Mr.. Finan
two weeks ago. The two men
are friends.
Mr.. Finan promised the
establishment Of a permanent
full-time staff party headquar-
teTs and publication Of month
ly bulletins to help party work.
Regional Offices
He said five regional vice
chairmen-aS used in the sue
ceSsful Tawes campaign last
fall-would be elected by the
central committees from the
various sections Of the State.
Delegates yesterday were so
eager to go along with Gov.
Tawes' wishes on the chair
manship that a motion was
made to close nominations be-
before a second could be made.
Mr.. Finan was nominated by
Montgomery Chairman Wood
w. Caddington, who described
the affable Mr.. Finan as

should have in negotiating at
the national convention.

continued.
He insisted that he was not
advocating any particular pres

he had not yet made up his
mind. Nevertheless, the Mayor
is considered by most observers
to be a supporter Of Senator
Kennedy. He has met with the
Senator at his home in Wash

power criticized defense
agencies which make agree
ments with private contractors
who use non-Federal workers
to do the type of work being
done by civilian employees. This
has resulted in extensive lay
offs among Defense Depart
mont civilian workers.
The House group charged
that these cost-plus contracts
cost the Defense Department
and the American taxpayer
more money than If civilian
employees did the work.
In its new policy, the Army
instructed all its installations
and units that mo contract

firm or individual whose pri-
mary character is that of a
labor broker for securing labor
