MahOney Lashes
Out at Governor

Maryland'S savings and loan situation this week
became the No. campaign cry of at least one Demo-
cratic gubernatoral candidate and threatens to be-
come the top issue in the Democratic Party's 1862
pre-primary campaigning.
George P. Mahoney, candidate for Governor and
one of the most outspoken critics of Gov J. Willard
Tawes in recent weeks became even more pointed
Monday at Baltimore press conference.
There he ashed out to lay the full blame for the
savings and loan situation Tawes and his associ-
ates. The situation, he said has developed into "the
worst scandal in the history of Maryland"
II charge Tawes with responsibility for the loss
of $50 million by more than 100000 depositors be-
cause of this dirty business" he said.
In prepared statement released at the con-
ference Mahoney sad
"Mr. Tawes has been both the comptroller and the
banking commissioner of Maryland His 20 years in
these offices put him in the best possible position to
observe the developing scandal and to take the neces
sary action to protect the e-savngs of Maryland de-
positors.
"He had to know that convicted criminals, known
gangsters and INSCRIPTIONS financial manpulators
infltrating the Maryland Savings and Loan In
dustry"
His formal statement went on to say that at is
clear that the full truth of the savings and loan and
affiliated scandals has not reached the people of Mary
land " and promised that in the weeks ahead he will
take the truth" to every county in Maryland
Mahoney said that what the people of the State
may not be of is 'the deep involvement of the
Tawes Administration, including the Governor himself
and his hand picked appointments, Attorney General
(Thomas 3D. Ftnan. :"
In scathing words he blamed Tawes for the lack
of an adequate law to regulate the industry and "23
years after he first assumed high office in this State
Mr. Tawes announces, through his appointed At
torney General that he has discovered transactions
of questional nature in the Maryland savings and
loan industry. $780,
"And now just last week he had the audacity to
attempt to cover up the by proposing to appoint
his own special staff of investigators to look into the
matter"
Mahoney then called for crusade "by :. . men
and women dedicated to the absolute elimination
of special privilege and pressure group politics in our
State administration"
He pledged that he and his associates twill bring
the truth and the whole unvarnshed truth about this
horrible scandal to every county in the State and we
will name names"
The Governor himself has accepted the situation
as political issue and pointed out that his administra-
ton had put the 1861 law on the books to give some
regulation to the industry
Mahoney said however, that Tawes' veto of the
Tydings Bill in 1860 allowed the crooked financial
operators IA additional months to prey on the I'M
suspecting public" He also said Tawes missed mar
