MARYLAND
'PoIIock-T owes' Tope
Heard by Newsmen

7 Mr.. Pollack said one reason
he decided to play the tape
publicly was because Gov.
Tawes had failed to fulfill his
1858 pledges.
"I didn't feel that what he
did after trying to get our sup
port was ethical, Just and
right" Mr.. Pollack said.
Mr.. PoIlack said he had met
with Gov. Tawes several times
at the Shoreham Hotel In
Washington during the past
year to discuss patronage.
Tawes said he was under a
lot of pressure and couldn't
deliver the jobs" Mr.. Pollack
said. He told me to stick
along and you'll get everything
you were supposed to get"
Mr.. Pollack said he was ap-
preached by Mr.. Hooker last
April S-one day before his
organization met to decide on
who to support in the primary
campaign.
He offered me all sorts Of
inducements, package deals
and what not" Mr.. Pollack
said, 'Tf the Endorsement of
Mahoney would be held off
and we could continue our
talks on Tuesday (the organi-
zation met Monday night)."
In answer to a question, Mr..
Pollack said the inducements
included $125,0O0 and certain
jobs-which I don't want to
mention"
AS for the 1858 tape. Mr.. Pol
lack said Mr.. Hume knew about
the recording ''but kept 1t to
himself for 31s years." At the
time of the recording. Mr..
Hume was treasurer Of the
Democratic Party.
Mr.. Hume alleged last week
that Gov. Tawes had agreed to
give Mr.. Pollack most Of Balti-
more's patronage appointments
as q substitute for an $80,000
payment.
Mr.. Pollack contended, how
ever, that he and his organiza-
ton turned over $75, 900 to Gov.
Tawes for the 1858 primary.
He also produced o copy Of q
letter, allegedly signed by Mr..
Pollack and Gov. Tawes on
December 3, 1857. relating to
the contents Of q safety deposit
box.
The box, Mr.. Pollack said.
contained $4,000 in cash from
his organization to be used in
the 1858 primary.
"I also gave him $1,000
(which was mentioned on the
tape) and another 10000
making a total Of s75.000."
Tawes' Statement
Gov. Tawes said in his state
ment yesterday:
ut Is not unprecedented or
improper for q candidate to
discuss patronage with political
leaders. I am sure every gov
ernor who preceded me was
at one time or another, during
his campaign, approached on
the subject Of patronage, and
Evening star., 1962-05-06

found It practical to discus.
the subject, Just as ! did with
political leaders In the state ir
1858. =
What really matters Is whai
happens after an election. A
good governor must, and does
place public interest first ir
selecting his appointees q
positions Of trust. This I have
done
whether Jack PoIlack had q
concealed microphone on his
person during conversations ]
may have had with him In the
1888 campaign, I have no way
OF knowing. ! am advised that
fake recordings, spliced tape
with dubbed In voices and the
like are not too difficult to
procure. Evidence is at hand
that Pollack has access to and
apparently would not hesitate
to use such devices. A fake
recording would not be too
great q departure from rigged
meetings and polls, faxed can
didates or signatures secured
for q price.
Talked 10 Leaders
THE facts are these. During
the campaign Of 1858 I had
conversations with many Of the
political leaders In connection
with patronage. This Is q nor
NAL procedure In every political
campaign. At that time I made
it clear that I would appoint
only persons Of ability and
worth to positions in the State
government. I have consist
emily followed this policy to the
best Of my ability.
'Pollack was not satisfied.
His voracious appetite for Jobs
was coupled in 1859 with
threats that he would black
mail me with a recording of
my voice If I did not comply
with his demands.
During my term as COVER
nor, Pollack has demanded a
place on the Supreme Bench of
Baltimore City: he was refused.
He has demanded the chief
judgeship Of the Municipal
Court; he was refused. He has
demanded o place on the Balti-
more City Liquor Board; he
was refused. He has demanded
"a place on the Board Of Super
visors Of Elections: he was re-
fused. He has demanded count
less other places Of public
trust and confidence; he has
been refused =.
THAT he will prostitute him
self and all who have contact
with him to gain his selfish
ends has now been the subject
of a public demonstration. His
Unsuitable demands for patron
age have been denied until now.
Based upon my own experience,
I am convinced that no gov
ernor can live with and keep
Pollack's support without be-
traying the people Of this State
and without violating his
sacred oath Of office. d.
with the support Of think
ing Marylanders, I pledge that
he and his kind will be kept
out Of Annapolis during the
next four years"
