Tawes Asks Surrey
Of State Production

Gov ]. Millard Tawes has asked the Department
of Economic Development to conduct survey of
Marylands industrial production potential for national
defense.
The governor met late last week with Federal
production and procurement officials and others in
Baltimore to discuss plans for the survey
He told the group that Maryland hopes to "offer
its best service to the Nation and at the same time
better the economic conditions of the citizens Of the
State"
He pointed out that Maryland has certain labor
surplus areas which are suffering from unempoy-
ment and underemployment, and said that the best
interests of the State and the Nation would be served
by putting idle hands to work in production for
national defense"
Objective of the survey is to make it easier for
Federal agencies to enter into contracts with Mary
land firms and to encourage Maryland industry to
enter into contracts to supply goods and services to
Federal Government agencies
Governor Tawes was commended by the Fed
era officials for the effort that is being made by the
State to cooperate in the plan to develop defense pro-
ducton to its full capacity.
Richard W. Webb, of the Small Business Policy
Directorate of the Department of Defense called it
"a very worthwhile program" spoke of the fear
the part of some business people of Federal Govern
ment contracts and said the Government welcomes
the kind of competition that is stimulated by the pro-
gram which has been initiated in Maryland
Many small manufacturers, the Federal officials
said are reluctant to do business with the Federal
Government for fear of red tape and confusion Help
in showing the small manufacturer that the Govern
ment wants and is indeed anxious, to have them bid
on work will be beneficial both to the Government and
the local economy.

the commission has served its
purpose.
Another resolution adopted
by the board resulted in a tele-
gram to Gov. j. Millard Tawes
urging the quick completion of
