and coop, manure and trash pile,

Local Business Man
Put ON Credit Corp.

Two Western Maryland business
men were named on the temporary
makeup of the new Maryland De-
Velopment Credit Corporation, an
agency created by the 1853 Legis-
lature to promote the states eco
nomic growth through loans to
business and industry.
The group is expected to work
closely with the Economic De-
velopment commission, also re-
Gently created agency.
Charles A. Piper, president of
the Liberty Trust company, Cum
berland, and Irwin r. Rudy, Jr.,
Oakland business man, were named
yesterday by Governor TaWes to
serve as temporary directors, along
with thirteen others throughout
the state.
A development credit corpora
ton is a privately financed agency
whose purpose is to provide a
source of long-term credit that
will stimulate economic growth.
Frequently this credit is used in
connection with the financing of
factory buildings to attract new
industries into an area. The cor
poration set up allows banks and
other financial institutions to pool
part of their resources and Jointly
make certain long-term loans
which they could not make indi-
vidually.
Tawes said he believed the
credit corporation would greatly
assist the work of the Maryland
Economic Development commits
sion. The two should be able to
work hand in hand to stimulate
the industrial and recreational de-
velopment of our state" he said.
Mr.. Rudy said this morning that
the appointment had come as a
complete surprise to him. He said
there had been indications that
he would be recommended for a
position on the economic develop
ment commission, but he had no
idea he was being considered for
a member of the temporary credit
corporation.
