RenOminate Mr.. TaWes

The names Of seven gubernatorial candi-
dates appear on the Democratic primary
ballots this year, but the real fight is be-
tween Governor Tawes and George p. Ma
honey, with David Hume the only other
candidate likely to get much more than a
token vote. Democrats who wish their votes
to count will take either Mr.. Tawes or Mr..
Mahoney. The Evening Sun takes Mr..
Tawes.
We take him in the first instance because
of the party enemies he has made, the chief
one being James H. Pollack, the Northwest
Baltimore boss whose position has become
one Of the important issues of the cam
paign.
Our second reason for taking Mr.. Tawes is
the strong fear that If Mr.. Mahoney were to
be nominated and elected he would be as
irresponsible in the gubernatorial chair as
he has been in the campaign and also that
he would be as close to Mr. Pollack in office
as he Is as candidate.
Finally, we prefer Governor Tawes be-
cause he has made an acceptable record
during his three years in office-not a bril-
Liant record but one showing sound man
agement and fiscal administration and one
which, after his unfortunate mistake Of CIV
ing Mr.. Pollack too much in his first Green
Bag, Is marked by a reasonable independ-
ence of bossism.
This newspaper takes a stand in party
primaries only in exceptional cases. This is
an exceptional case. Unless strong Repub-
lican candidate is somehow brought into the
race in November, the Democrats are now
about to nominate the next Governor of
Maryland. In such circumstances declara-
ton of our preference as between the two
leading contenders for the nomination be-
comes public duty. In fulfillment of this
obligation we now record the belief that it
would be dreadful mistake for the Demo-
Gratis to nominate for the States highest
office man with Mr.. Mahoneys record of
loose campaign talk and close ties with the
Northwest Baltimore boss.
Mr.. Pollack underscored his alliance with
Mr. Mahoney at the news conference at
which he played tape purporting to record
his conversation with Mr.. Tawes on finances
and patronage when the latter was candi-
date for governor Whatever the authen-
ITCHY Of the recording, the story is hardly
new. When Governor Tawes sent his first
Green Bag to the Senate in 1859 1t was evi-
dent that the Pollack organization had got
more than its share Of the jobs. Indeed, the
backfire which the Green Bag started put
Mayor Grady in the City Hall and put the
heat on Mr.. Tawes to withdraw some Of the
favors he had granted
The Governor made a most unfortunate
mistake in that incident, but having been
burned as result, he has since fought shy

An Editorial
Evening star., 1962-05-11

in more recent years We believe the Gov
ernor has learned lesson. At any rate. it
Is not he who is now getting Pollack help.
That unenviable distinction belongs to Mr..
Mahoney.
Mr.. Mahoney has acquired another dis
tinction OF the same general character by
choosing to base his chief attack on Gov
ernor Tawes on the building and loan issue.
This Is one OF the two issues on which the
Governor showed real qualities of leader
ship, the other being the Municipal Court.
On both these issues, Mr.. Tawes forced
through drastic reforms over heavy opposi-
ton. and on the building and loan issue
the forces resisting the Governor were led
by none other than Mr.. Mahoney's present
associate and chief ally, Mr.. Pollack.
The history Of the Pollack efforts to
emasculate the bill by authorizing an un-
wise second mortgage provision and his last
ditch atteMpt to delay enforcement of the
bill by filing referendum petition against
1t Is well known throughout the State. Also
well known is the fact that the Governor
promptly met the Pollack tactics by calling
special session to pass new bill, not SUBJ
ject to referendum. Under this second
measure the regulatory system is now func-
tioning.
What travesty that the first Maryland
Governor TO do anything about the building
and loan industry should be charged with
failure by q candidate who kept silent while
the Governor was fighting for reform and
who is now closely allied with the very man
who sought to defeat and then delay the
reform.
The Mahoney record as chairman Of the
Racing Commission was fair enough, but 1t
provided the candidates only experience in
office, and the work he did was not of kind
to indicate any capacity for the responsible
tasks of administration and public leadership
which devolve upon the governor Of State
of 100000 people. Mr.. Mahoney's only polit-
icaI training Is that Of q persistent office
seeker whose ambitions have always been
unsuccessful. The nature Of his present
campaign confirms the wisdom Of the voters
in rejecting his earlier candidates. For the
good of the State another rejection is re-
quired at the polls this year. The way to re-
ject Mahoney Is to vote for Tawes.
The. Governors record Is marred by minus
signs on his Green Bag of 1859 and his
failure on desegreation and reapportion-
ment However, Baltimore owes him polit-
ical debt for putting over the Municipal
Court The whole State owes him one for
setting up regulatory system for building
and loan firms. In addition, he has demon
strated talent for sound public finance
He has learned by experience how to deal
with troublesome bosses For these reasons

to renominate for Governor ]. MILLARD

Negro Youth Sues To
Enter AII-White
Clemson College

NEW YORK - AN attack on
segregated undergraduate schools
in South Carolina was launched
today with the filing of a Fedora
District Court suit which asks that
a Negro student be admitted to
Clemson College in Columbia, 5.
C.
The suit was filed on behalf of
2O-year old Harvey B, CAN'T and
his father Christopher CAN'T OF
Charleston. The NAACP Legal De-
fense Fund complaint asked that
the youth be admitted to Glenn
son in September 1862.
The complaint was filed by at
torney Matthew J. Perry of Co
lumbia, S. C. 1t asked that Glenn
son officials be restrained "fron.
refusing to consider the applica-
tions of Negro residents of South
Carolina for admission to Glenn
son College upon the same terms
and conditions applicable to white
applicants. Clemson is an agrl-
cultural college maintained by
state funds.
NAACP Legal Defense Fund at
torneys state that CAN'T has twice
applied to Clemson. His first ap-
plication was turned down in JAN
uary 1861 because the State was
paying the difference between
So. Carolina and out-of-state enroll
ment for CAN'T who, for the past
two years, has been attending Iowa
State College. His second appll-
cation, made in December 1861,
is still pending.
The Fund complaint alleges that
CAN'T has not been admitted to|
Clemson even though he has met
all requirements for admission and
that white students who applied
after CAN'T have been admitted.
CAN'T comes from family OF
5 children in Charleston and is a
graduate of Rhett Elementary
School and Burke High School
where he finished second in his
class in June 1860. While at Burke
High School, he played varsity
football and was active in a pop
ular singing group in Charleston
called 1.-The Crooners. He is now
studying architecture at Iowa State.
CAN'T says he plans to make
South Carolina his home and, there
fore, wants to 60 to state col
lege. He said today, however, that
he feels his suit to enter Clemson
would be much like another step
up the ladder for first-claSs citi-
zenShip for Negroes. feel will

for other Negro boys and girls to

are Matthew j. Perry and Lin
coin Jenkins, Jr. of Columbia, S.
c.; Donald j. Sampson and Willie
