Yesterday Mr.. Pollack had
baked at turning over the tape

exchange for promises Of pa
tronage for the Pollack organ
ization.
Denies Making Tape
Mr.. Harris asked Mr.. Pollack

Mr.. Harris said he wanted to
know who made 1t, but Mr..

During his 2O-minute chat
with Mr.. Harris. Mr.. Pollack
reiterated his claim that Gov.
Tawes and the Tawes' tape Of
Mr.. Pollack's press conferences
also should be brought before
the grand jury.
Mr.. Pollack claims the Tawes
recording violated the law be-
cause they did not ask Mr.,
Pollack's permission to tape the
press conference.
In another development,
David Hume, third gubernato-
rial candidate, declared that
Mr.. Pollack is intimidating

Passengers who asked what

the ships bell was always

It was q clean, cool night.
The air was still. The gentle
breeze from the bow was
made by the progress of the

We stayed out until we
passed under the Potomac

Then we went down to the

the lower deck where an

Even on the upper deck we
