Tawes Names Group For iTax Study
The Democratic governor candidate J. Millard Tawes named an advisory panel to study Maryland taxes and the potential effects of the Republican tax program. Richard W. Case heads the group, with lawyers and business leaders among the members. Devereux criticized the move as electioneering while archery spectators heard the remarks. The report is to the law, not the campaign, Tawes said. Labor endorsement followed, with the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen backing Democratic candidates.

Cumberland Station Attendant Is Held Up
A Cumberland service station attendant, Robert Brant, said two masked men robbed the station of about $120 and forced him to drive, releasing him unharmed about 10 to 12 miles east of the US 40 station near Cumberland. State police reported the account from Brant, who was alone at 3:30 or 6 am when a man with a handkerchief mask threatened him with a gun.

Armed men abduct man after landing at station
Two men forced the attendant into a waiting car after landing, making Brant lie on the back seat then crawl between it and the car. The abduction occurred on Maryland Route 51 as the pair drove off, later abandoning Brant and discarding the torn rear seat from a Cumberland Street stolen car. A description-matching vehicle was found miles east about an hour later.
