Godwin recently received some well-deserved praise from a very distinguished legal authority—and a man in a good position to properly judge. In writing to Judge Godwin a bout a case, Chief Justice William A. Devin of the North Carolina Suoreme Court added this word of tribute to him: “I have utmost confidence in • your ability to trv this or any other c3s= fairly, iustlv and according to law I have had- many favorable reports of your work and I wish to thank you for the fine service.” That’s a mighty fine tribute coming from North Carolina’s chief justice, and one which Judge Godwin should always treasure. The people of Harnett have every right to be proud of their judge.

Paul Strickland rarely sends anybody to TELEPHONES: 3117 • 3118 - 3119 NEW YORK (IP)—Dwight D. Eisenhower pounded down the home stretch in his race for the White House today, bidding for the votes of federal workers and deny ing Democratic charges that he was to blame for the Ko rean war. The Republican presidential can didate was in the second day of an intensive three-day stumping tour of the New York City area 'in quest jbf the Empire State’s im portant 45,electoral votes. In an ’informal r.asstion and an-' swer program televised nationally Tuesday night, the former general said: 1. That his proposed “clean sweep” of the federal government would not extend to “efficient” CivU Service employes, but would certainly include their “political bosses.” 2. That there was “no very great connection” between a military de cision in 1947 to get out of Korea and “a political decision made two years later.” 3. “r am and will continue to be a ‘no deal’, candidate.” 4. Denied that he advocated cut ting soldiers’ pay and referred to a report in which he suggested “an additional premium” for ser vice in the Far East. ANSWER TRUMAN His comment on Korea was in answer to charges by President Truman and other Democrats that Eisenhower had made a “thorough ly dishonest” attempt to shift re sponsibility from fiimself to the State Department for withdrawal of U. S. troops from Korea in 1949. Mr. Truman based his charges on the fact that Eisenhower, as a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff CiintinutMl On Page twoi Undies Figure In Coronation Fuss LONDON HP) Conservative Maj.

Eisenhowers support of the states’ claims to the oil-rich Tidelands. Mr. Truman , told an enthusias tic audience of 8.500 at Hibbing. Minn.. Tuesday night, that the Re | publican presidential candidate "has promised to sign a bill giving to | three states the oil lands that the j Supreme Court said belonged to everybody in the United States.” SAYS RICH FOR GOP i The chief executive also told the | crowd that “millionaires” want to see a Republican victory and that “millions and millions of dollars” are being poured into GOP cam paign coffers. The President said that Eisen hower is trying to get votes with the promise of a “transaction that would make the Teapot Dome look like chicken feed.” But. Mr. Truman said. Eisen hower is “not going to get those three states.” “I have got a mighty good friend in Texas by the name of House Speaker Sam Rayburn,” M-. Tru man said, “and he told me that there are 5,000.000 people in Texas that don’t own any oil wells and have no chance of getting any oil wells and don’t own any cattle ranches, and that thev are going to vote the Democratic ticket.” Mr. Truman was on the third day of a six-day “give- ’em hell” campaign swing through the : Mid west to wind up his stumping for Gov.

But before anvone could swallow such a conclusion, he’d have to season it with a healthy snrink lintr of salt. For that was the pol itician talking, not the ordinary observer. Not that Jordan would ne cessarily tell a fib about anything, for he is an honorable gentleman. It has just become the accept'd thing fov a politician to take lib erties with the truth, to issue oo timistic statements, and to shake the confidence of the opposition with all manner pf means.
