Committee
Brewster Sees
Governor as
Logical Choice

OCEAN CITY, Md, Aug. "a
| (AP). - Senator Brewster
Democrat of Maryland, says
Gov. Tawes is a logical choice tc
become Maryland Democratic
national committeeman.
The influential post has beer
held for the last seven years by
Michael j. Birmingham who
was defeated last year in the
election for Baltimore County
Executive.
Said Senator Brewster: 81

Visiting SeashOre
Senator Brewster and many
other prominent Maryland
Democrats were visiting the
seaside resort today for ap-
pearance at meetings of the
United Democratic Women's
Clubs of Maryland and the
County Commissioners Associa-
ton. More than 200 commits
sionerS and officials from 81
counties are attending.
Gov. TaweS is prohibited by
the State constitution from
running for a third term when
his present term expires in 1867.
Political observers say the ma
tional committeeman post
would provide Gov. Tawes with
an opportunity to maintain an
active interest in politics.
Gen. Rinaldo Van Brunt,
U. S. A. Ret.), told the county
commissioners today that the
State has made substantial
progress during the past year
in improving civil defense pre-
.paredness.
Progress Reported
Gen. Van Brunt, head Of the
Maryland Civil Defense Agency,
cited progress in establishing
and stocking shelters and in
obtaining public support for
civil defense. He said thou
sands of Marylanders have re-
ceived civil defense training.
The general said the State
has licensed shelter space for
100000 persons and supplies
have been stocked for 10000
persons. He said 54 packaged
emergency hospitals, each con-
tanning 200 beds, have been pre-
