Millard Tawes made it as plain as he could yesterday without committing himself in the actual words that he is actively seeking Maryland’s governorship in 1908. “Should I win—or whatever it takes to say without committing yourself—whether by the back door, side door or window—the latchstring will always be out,” he told 400 fellow Democrats. He has made his hopes known to Democrats before in private or semi-public gatherings, but Yesterday’s meeting was more akin to a full-fledged party party, particularly the Watermelon Party. It was staged by Frank M. Duvall, former Anne Arundel state senator, who frankly labeled his annual watermelon party a “Tawes for Governor” fête. When the telephone rings... In a home with complete telephone convenience! Thanks, Mom. I'll fine. My favorite program's coming up. Every day more and more folks are modernizing it's also modern to order your additional homes for complete telephone convenience. phones with such new, useful conveniences as it's easy to do in any home, small or large. You spring cords, illuminated dials or cutoff switches, just add phones where they're handiest—in the kitchen, recreation room, workshop, bedroom, of the family are mighty helpful, then. When the phone rings, nobody has to run. Ask your Service Representative at the Business Office to help you modernize your home, too, with another phone nearby. With complete telephone convenience. FLASH! New, modern telephones are now available in a wide range of smart colors. The Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone Company introduced Mr. Tawes as the next Governor and the obviously delighted controller replied, “I feel like kissing you for that kind of introduction.” He told his listeners “I hope his prediction does not fall him.” The Democratic candidate in 1958 will not have to cope with Republican Gov. McKeldin, who is ineligible for a third term. The Republicans did not bother to oppose Mr. Tawes in his last two elections as controller. He has served five terms in that office, first being appointed by the man who beat him for the Democratic nomination for Governor, William. Preston Lane, Mr. Tawes was reported anxious to seek the nomination again last year, but stepped aside for his old friend, Dr. H. C. Byrd.

McKeldin and members of the State Roads Commission yesterday inspected the building of four big double-barreled tubes which ultimately will be part of Maryland’s tunnel under Baltimore harbor. The 300-foot long tubes are being built on shipways at the Maryland Drydock Co. They are about 35 feet in diameter and are made up of elded, circular strips of steel five-eighths of an inch thick. The Governor and His party walked down the assembly line where the thick steel plates are being cut, formed and welded. He operated a small crane and picked up some metal strips for souvenirs. In October, the four big tube sections will be plugged at each end and floated out into the water. They then will be encased in concrete and sunk to the bottom of the harbor, where they will lie in a trench. The four being built at Maryland Drydock will be hooked up with others being built by Bethlehem Steel in Baltimore and New York Shipbuilding Co. at Camden, N.J. The harbor tunnel, a little more than a mile long, and more than 13 miles of approach expressways are scheduled for completion about December 1, 1957. $8.2 Million Price Set On Land for Tunnel BALTIMORE, Aug. 24 (JP).— An appraisal expert yesterday put an $8.2 million price tag on the land needed for the Baltimore Harbor tunnel and its approaches. The figure was announced today by John A. Magee, appraisal coordinator for the $130 million project. The original estimate of land acquisition, on which the bond issue was based, was $11,341,000. That figure was pared down in later estimates to $9,772,000. Mr. Magee said acquisitions, now nearly 82 percent complete, to date represent an expenditure of more than $4,240,000. Properties yet to be purchased, while few in number, will be the most costly along the 15.2-mile route and should cost about $4 million more, he added. Mr. Magee is an employee of William Martien & Co., one of two real estate companies named by the State Roads Commission to appraise the land along the tunnel right. of-way. The other firm is David M. Nichols & Co., headed by a former commission chairman. Under terms of a controversial contract, the two firms will get 7.5 percent—about $816,000. If Mr. Magee's current estimates hold up—of the total cost of the tunnel land for their services. The appraisal contract figured prominently in the 1954 general election campaign and in an unsuccessful attempt to launch a full-scale investigation of the roads commission in the 1955 session of the General Assembly. Man With TB Held In Exposing Others RICHMOND, Va., Aug. 24 (JP). —A former Richmond City fireman who repeatedly refused treatment for tuberculosis has been ordered to spend a year at the State prison farm infirmary, the State prison farm infirmary.
