JuryProbing
Hotel Buggiing
MuyfIower Case
Witness Appears

A District grand jury invest
igation has been launched into
the "bugging" of a Mayflower
Hotel suite of a West Coast
lawyer earlier this month.
Uni.ed States Attorney David
c. Acheson refused to discuss
the inquiry. citing the policy
of his office never to comment
on the activities of a grand
jury.
However, it was learned that
a witness. accompanied by an
attorney who figures in the
case, appeared before the grand
jury yesterday on subpoena
from District Court.
The name of the witness was
not disclosed.
The grand jury was convened
after the tiny electronic listen
ing device was found under a
table in the Mayflower Hotel
room occupied by Malcolm T.
DUNCAN. attorney for a West
Coast power combine having a
multi-million dollar case before
the Federal Power Commission.
United States Marshals, op-
Grating with a court order,
found a receiver and tape re-
corder in a room near Mr.. Dun
gan's. In a civil suit filed by
Mr.. DUNCAN, he claimed that
his business conversations were
being monitored. Named in the
suit were a former FBI agent,
John j. Frank, and two private
detectives, Oliver w. Angelone
and John w. Leon.
These defendants in the civil
suit invoked the Fifth Amend
ment when questioned by Mr.
Dungan's attorney. Paul R
Connolly.
The activity of the grand
jury indicated to some court
observers that the case might
move from a purely civil one to
criminal category.

Towes Ticket AssoiIs
Brooke Lee, PoIIock

E. Brooke Lee, one-time
strong man of Montgomery
County politics, and James H.
Pollack, Northwest Baltimore
political boss, were the target
of the Tawes ticket yesterday
as it carried the spirited Mary
land Democratic primary cam
paign into the suburban area.
At a rally in Montgomery
County last night, Representa-
tive Brewster, who is running
for United States Senator

accused the elder Lee of COM
bining with Mr.. Pollack and
gubernatorial candidate George
P. Mahoney to try to take over
the State government.
Fires First Blast
Blair Lee, who was invading
the Eastern Shore territory of
Gov. TaweS, shot back that he
would stack his fathers record
of public service against Mr..
BrewSter's any time. He fur
ther declared that he would
confine his attacks to Mr..
Brewster and not to members
of Mr.. Brewster's family.
In his foes home ground in
Montgomery, Mr.. Brewster un-
leashed his first attack of the
campaign.
Mr.. Brewster said there has
been IAN unwholesome, cynical
alliance of political forces which

has one aim and one purpose
to gain control of our State
government"
He said the alliance is COM
posed of a "diScredited poll
tician (the elder Lee), a big
city boss. trying to expand (Mr
Pollack) and a Six-time loser
(Mr. Mahoney)."
Gov. Tawes told the Mont
gomery group that when he
filed for reelection he expected
to be attacked.
But we didn't expect to be
shot with poison arrows and
we didn't expect to be shot In
the back. We expected fair
play" he said.
Cites Fathers Record
Blair Lee, campaigning in
Dorchester County, replied to
the charges:
Il will gladly match my
fathers long career of public
service and stalwart support OF
the Democratic party against
Brewster's record of colorless
and unproductive time serving
at Annapolis and Washington.

such as former Gov. w. Preston
Lane, jr., had earned renomina-
ton.

Pollack out of politics and out
of our government"
Mr.. Hume, who is opposing
Gov. Tawes for the Demo-
cratic gubernatorial nomina-
tion, said the TaweS-Pollack
agreement was typical Of the
intrigue and corruption and
rottenneSS and stencil of Mary
land politics today"
Mr.. Hume gave this account
of what happened during the
hotel meeting:
"Pollack requested and then
demanded verification of the
arrangement by which he was.
to receive a great majority of
the principal Baltimore ap-
pointmentS in lieu of payment
to him by Tawes in the amount
of $50, 0,000-reimbursement for
what Pollack would spend in
the campaign.
"Pollack read the names
from a sheet of paper which
was a blank contract and which
Tawes refused to sign, stating,
My word is good, Jack
Later. Tawes was to make
good on practically all of his
promiSes-some IL of Is major
appointments going to Pollack.
He omitted one name from the
list and attempted to substi-
tute instead of the name a
sum of cash which Pollack re-
fused.
Played Tape
ut was then that Pollack
flew into his rage and
declared he would play the
tape And in order to demon
Strate that he was not bluffing,
he offered to play the tape and
did play the tape in the Cover
nor's mansion.
Then Secretary of State
Thomas B. Finan heard the
recording and assured the Gov
ernor that the deal consum-
mated in the Emerson Hotel
was indeed matter of record"
Mr.. Pollack himself may have
been referring to a tape record
ing earlier Friday, when he
challenged Gov. Tawes to ap-
pear on television with him and
answer certain questions.
Il promise that I shall
PROFOUND several questions to
Mr.. Tawes which he will not
dare answer in whole or in

Two 14-inch brick walls that
divide the store from two ad-

Mclean Tract
Probe Hailed
By Citizens
Sheriff to Seek
Subpoena of Four
Protest Leaders

Leaders of citizen opposition
to a tower apartment project
on the Potomac River front in
Mclean said today they well
coined a grand jury investiga-
tion into the project.
The calling of a special grand
Jury on May 18 to look into the
controversial rezoning of the
Merrywood estate for a multi
million-dollar apartment de-
velopment was announced yes
terday by Commonwealth's At
torney Robert G. Fitzgerald.
He said he asked the Circuit
Court to call the grand jury
at the insistence of Sheriff
John E. Taylor, who has been
criticized for alleged conflict of
interest for his role as agent
in the sale of the land.
To Ask SubpOenas
Mr.. Taylor said yesterday he
would request the court to sub
poena at least four persons who
have been involved in opposing
the development. He said they
are Radio Commentator Edward
P. Morgan. Give DuVal, presi-
dent of the Mclean Citizens
Association; Samuel Neel, chair
man of the newly formed Com
mittee to Preserve the Poto-
mac, and Miss Betty Goetz,
who made charges of "cor-
ruption" without naming any,
one at a mass meeting Thurs
day night.
Mr.. Morgan said he well
coined the grand jury investi-
cation "if it is an honest at
tempt, as I hope it will be, to
expose iong-term practices in
the county, and not a white
wash"
Mr.. Neel said he would be
delighted to repeat to the
grand jury my own personal
opinion and belief tnat a man
who holds office should not be
IN a position of deriving large
profits from real estate opera
tionS of any nature"
Mr.. DuVal said he would be
pleased to appear before the
grand jury to testify in the
case.
He added that he hoped the
grand jury would conduct an
exhaustive investigation of the
entire coming matter.
The Investigation also was
welcomed by Supervisor A
Claiborne Leigh, who has been
asSailed by Mclean residents
for his support of the rezoning
Hits Charges
Mr.. Leigh, whose district in
cludeS Mclean, said he hoped
the grand jury would be in a
position to "clear the air of
some of the irresponsible
slanderous talk that is going
around"
Unfortunately" he said, "in
the heat of emotionalism some
persons have stepped over the
bounds of propriety and with
out doubt slandered me, and
Il am contemplating legal
steps,"
In calling the grand jury
Mr.. Fitzgerald said he had re-
ceived no information indicat-
ing criminal activity in con-
nection with the rezoning but
that news accounts have re-
lated certain rather broad
charges" which he expected
the grand jury to investigate
The grand jury, he said, will
be able to look into any matter
concerning the Merrywood re-
zoning or any other rezoning

statement, made during a Bal
timore news conference, was
"a typical smear tactic and it
is regrettable that a person
who processes to be a respon-
sible candidate should fall VIC
tim to the same type of cam

characteristic of my other op-
ponent in this and previous

Mr.. Hume, Charles County

"left out of all these shenan-

Drufts D. G. Ban

The D. C. Federation of Civic
Associations last night pre-
sented a sweeping plan to Com
missionerS in an effort to elimi-
nate discrimination in real

members qualified colored per-
sons of the profession"
Issue regulations giving the

clude refusal to show or Offer
any prospective buyer or renter
property because of his race
