Byron's Column
Random Political Thoughts

a way of feeling the spirit Of things. And
the spirit in Maryland is not good. And the
real cause for current low morale Is the saw
ings and loan mess.
Governor Tawes and his crew are
doomed. And because of the savings and
loan mess, it Is doubtful that Tawes and his
ticket will even get the Democratic nomina-
tion And even if one or two might squeak
through the Democratic primary 1t is the
opinion of most observers that Republicans
would take the office or offices in the gen
eral election.
A few weeks ago 1t was almost certain
that Theodore Roosevelt McKeldin, former
Republican Governor for two terms, would
be the Republican nominee for Governor and
perhaps, win the election. This is not true
today. And again, the cause for the change
in feeling among Republican leaders is the
savings and loan mess.
1t is not certain at this point just how
involved Mr.. McKeldin is with those con-
nected with savings and loan companies now
in receivership but his name has been linked
with a longtime friend and associate who is
an attorney for one of the savings and loan
companies now in receivership. And while
he may not have any connection with any
of the loan companies, most Republican lead
ers are of the opinion at this date that it
would be difficult for McKeldin to convince
the voters that he had nothing to do with
the mess. 1t is just one of these unfortunate
things that happen now and then in politics.
Many Republican leaders are moaning
over the fact that the leadership of the COP
has been negligent In formulating an eff
cient and strong organization. Had this been
done starting IL years ago, 1t is likely that
Republicans would have no difficulty in win
ming most of the big state offices in Mary
land.
1t is perfectly clear that the Republicans
could win the major offices if it is possible
to get clean, fresh, intelligent young men to
run for Governor, the United States Senate,
Congressman and other state offices.
Many leaders are In the process today
of working out a plan whereby a successful
young Congressman who has made quite a
name for himself in short time might be
persuaded to run for Governor and another
bright young man to take his place as a
candidate for Congress.
Newton Steers has already made inroads
in the state as the Republican candidate for
Congressman-at-large. He is highly intelli-
gent, completely clean and appears to be a
perfect candidate Then there are others who
might be persuaded to make the run
There is speculation that if Blair Lee is
able to get the Democratic nomination for
U. S. Senator and this should be certain
because of Danny Brewster's connection with
his law partner Gordon Boone, one of the
first to be connected with the savings and
loan mess = the Republicans might not be
too anxious to get strong candidate to OPP
pose him. Most of them believe Blair Lee
would be great credit to the state of Mary.

Forget The Dam

It's time the Army Corps of Engineers laid to
rest once and for ALL its proposal for hgh-leve dam
on the Potomac River at River Bend
AS far as we can see, the plan has absolutely
nothing to recommend it, and has succeeded only in
raising the collective blood pressure of hundreds of
property owners and conservatonists Supreme
Court Justice several Congressman and Senator
This thing has been kicking around for more than
10 years and has still to attract the slightest support
from anyone other than public power advocates and
few commercial recreation outfits
The former, of course, see the dam as the source
of cheap power for people far away the Eastern
Shore, whether they want it not. And the latter
envision conucopia of proft-making boats, cabins
hot dog stands and perhaps even tavern or two.
The Army Engineers, on the other hand claim
the reservoir formed by the dam is needed to insure
an adequate water supply for the Washington metro
politan area. They airiy dismiss the inundation Of
thousands of of the choicest and most expensive
land in Montgomery County as necessary evil In
other words, what they saying is that the end
justifies the means
This is utter nonsense. In the first place, desal-
taon experiments have progressed to the point where
experts predict that largescae methods of producing
potable water from salt water at cost comparable
TO the present filtration process should be available
within the next decade. This means water could be
brought from Chesapeake Bay to meet any con-
ceivable emergency in this area.
In the second place. there is considerable body
of expert opinion that several low-level dams, with
out any damage to adjacent land and homes, would
serve the same purpose as the high-leve structure
AS matter of fact, believe all of the time and
energy devoted to pushing the high-leve dam would
have been spent far more usefuly in joining efforts
to purify the river and prevent further pollution
The Potomac flows through some of the most
beautiful sections in the county Yet it has been des
poiled and poisoned by sewage and industrial wastes
1t would be far better for the Army Engineers and
any other government agency interested in preserving
our water supply to cleanse the river and make it
once more thing of beauty.

On Sound Ground

Rockville officials are on sound ground in pro-
noting an urban renewal program for portions of the
city
Although Rockville is justly proud of its reputa-
ton the fastest growing municipality in suburban
Maryland, nearly all of this growth occurred on the
outskirts of the city, This was natural since the land
needed for this expansion existed in plentiful quanti-
ties in those locations Also the land was largely
rural and unmproved and didn't cost as much as
property in developed closer to the heart of the
city.
AS result, the older areas began to deteriorate
as the new residents tended to partonize modern
shopping centers in their neghborhoods This is
nothing new. The same thing has occurred in almost
every other city, large and small, throughout the
country.
The only feasible way TO prevent further decay
and loss of tax revenue is to upgrade the central bust
ness district This is expensive proposition For
tunately however, the Federal government has made
funds available to cure such conditions and Rockville
Is wise In taking advantage of the program.
We assume that plans for the work will be pre-
pared by the ctys planning department 1t might be
helpful in this connection to seek the advice of other
local planning agencies because they have amassed
tremendous amount of information, much of which
should be useful to the local planners.

With each passing day the political pic
ture in this county and state becomes more
complicated.
It is too early to say what will happen
in the May primaries or the 1862 fall election
but it might be interesting to throw out a
few political thoughts.
The savings and loan mess in Maryland
is going to cause much more damage to po
litical figures than anyone has the nerve to
think about.
Governor j. Willard Tawes has not been
a strong chief executive. In fact, he has
been one of the weakest in the states his
tory. And this was not necessary.
Mr.. TaWes has been a faithful Demo
cratic Party worker and office holder almost
all Of his life. At time. he was highly
thought Of by both Democrats and Repub
leans. This was when he YVES Comptroller
of the State Republicans didn't even on
pose him at one or two elections. He enjoyed
in TIE state the same reputation that Clay
ton Watkins, Clerk of the Circuit Court, has
enjoyed in the county for many years.
]. Willard Tawes has had lifelong am
biton. This was to be Governor of his state.
He was elected by a great vote in 1858.
Soon after he took office many observers
said this man had an opportunity to make
an outstanding Governor. He wasn't young
man. He had promised to serve one good
term. He was completely free, so it was
thought, to do what he believed to be right
He could have put through almost any leg
slation he desired He had a great majority
hnfh fha tha of
gates. Furthermore, he was the new leader
of the Democrats after eight years of
Republican administration
But what did he do? Instead of leading,
he gave the impression of being so controlled
by various interests that he couldn't make a
move without calling someone. Needless to
say this lack of vigorous leadership has been
keen disappointment to Democratic leaders
throughout the state.
Governor Tawes seemed to go out of his
way to ALLEVIATE group after group There.
fore, his political stock was at a low ebb
long before the savings and loan mess un.
folded. And this was the final blow to his
political prestige.
Thousands of citizens have lost thou
sands of dollars. And when people lose their
money because the state officials did not do
enough soon enough to protect them, then
the political jig is up. 1t is just that simple.
And 1T is difficult to understand why Tawes
and his cronies do not understand this. They
must know that those who lost their money
in these savings and loan companies are dead
against anyone even remotely connected with
them Furthermore, other persons feel sorry
for those who lost and will put the blame on
the government officials and politicians with
ambitions to run for public office
One thing should be remembered by DO.
htical office seekers: Voters are more in.
telligent than most people think. Voters have
