He organised Theodore McKeldin's 1950 campaign for the position of Mayor of Baltimore. He was recognized at a meeting of over 1500 people at the Bethel AME Church in Baltimore in 1939 for his work.

Later in his life, Marse was charged with eight counts of receiving money under false pretenses and one count of failing to pay a former employee seven weeks wages. Twelve further charges of larceny after trust of funds paid by persons as deposits on pieces of property were added to the indictment to which he pleaded guilty. He was sentenced to a three-year suspended sentence and when summing up Judge Robert France asserted that Callaway had been "a respected and outstanding citizen in his own community and the city of Baltimore". Callaway was also ordered to pay restitution.
