Paper says Mandel included in grand jury corruption probe WASHINGTON (AP) Federal prosecutors and a Baltimore grand jury now have included Maryland Gov. Marvin Mandel as a subject in their continuing probe of political corruption in that state, The Washington Post has reported. The Post, quoting informed sources, reported in today's editions that the investigation in recent months "has developed some evidence of a pattern in which Mandel received from two friends, W. Dale Hess and Harry W. Rodgers III, at the same time that Hess and Rodgers were benefit- ting from state actions." The newspaper said that "among the favors received by Mandel were the inclusion of Sen.

him in favorable business deals." The governor's spokesman, Frank A. DeFilippo, was quoted as saying Thursday that Mandel "has received no notice that he is under investigation." Jervis S. Finney, U.S. attorney for Maryland, declined comment on the Post report. Rather than any specific single action, it is the alleged pattern of favors occurring during the period of beneficial state actions that has attracted the investigators, whose probes led in 1973 to the resignation of then-Vice President Spiro T.

Agnew, Mandel's predecessor as governor, The Post said. Whether the evidence of any such pattern now being looked into would constitute grounds for a criminal indictment is not clear, the article said. Hess and Rodgers secretly invested four years ago in Marlboro Race Track, a now defunct half-mile track in Prince George's County which subsequently profited from a number of state actions. The governor has said repeatedly he did not know of his friends' financial interests in the track at the time of those actions. Also.

Hess' and Rodgers' company, Tidewater Insurance Associates Inc. acquired in 1971 the engineering firm of Zollman Associates, which subsequently increased its share of now competitive state contracts. Tidewater sold that firm last year. In addition to those two cases, also publicly reported has been the gift to Mandel of a 15 per cent interest in a partnership with Hess, Rodgers and others that purchased a $316,000 tract of land on Maryland's Eastern Shore three years ago. That group sold the land after their'acquisition became public knowledge.

Rodgers, one of Mandel's chief 1970 fund-raisers is an insurance executive and business associate of Hess, the former Maryland House of Delegates majority leader. Both were told more than a year ago that they were under investigation by the federal authorities in Baltimore, The Post said. Mandel convinced Pine received 'bad rap' ANNAPOLIS A I r- Gov. Marvin Mandel says he has personally investigated James A. Pine, his appointee to a key state post, and is convinced Pine was guilty of no wrongdoing in the Baltimore County kickback scandals.

Pine, an old guard Democrat who lost his senate seat in the reform which swept Baltimore County last fall, was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1973 indictment which led to the conviction of Dale Anderson, then the county executive and a Pine political ally. Mandel. who has named Pine general counsel to the powerful public service commission, said Thursday he thought Pine had "received a very bad, bad rap" in the kickback scandal which toppled Anderson last year. The governor said he had talked with "some people" who had information on the Pine situation but he refused to identify his sources because he did not consider their identities pertinent. One source the governor admitted nol using, however, was.

the office of the U.S. attorney for Maryland, which investigated the Anderson case and was responsible for adding Pine's name to the indictment. "I just feel that I did all that could possibly be done to find out whether there was any substance" for including Pine in the Anderson indictment. listing Pine was an alleged participant in a $1,500 kickback arrangement with Anderson was dropped at the 1974 trials an alleged $1.500 kickback arrangement with Anderson was dropped at Anderson's trial.

Court rules county may condemn land ANNAPOLIS (AP)-The Maryland Court of Appeals has ruled that Prince Georges County may use its powers of condemnation to obtain land for a 632-acre industrial park just south of Bowie.

unanimous decision marked the first time Maryland's highest court has held that development by a local government of a privately owned industrial park is a public use as required by the state constitution. The decision reversed a ruling by Prince Georges County Circuit Court Judge Ralph W. Powers which held the proposed condemnation might be in the public interest, but that does not necessarily mean it is a public use.

YESI THAT'S MY BOY ONLY 12 YEARS OLD AND HE HAS A BUSINESS ALL HIS OWN! It realty makes me feel good to know that the training he is receiving as a newspaper carrier will benefit him tremendously in the future. Too bad that more boys and girls don't take this chance at adventure in the business world. In what other business can a boy of his age have the opportunity to meet so many people, learn bookkeeping, handle money, and of course selling. The most important lesson he will learn is the responsibility that comes with his job. This will eventually guide him to the road of a GOOD CITIZEN.
