it was withheld after Moore was

maybe we’ll never get ’em.
Governor Scott’s evaluation of,
the MacArthur episode and his
backing President Truman brought
in hundreds of letters—many of
them from out of state. The mail
varied from outright damnation
to the “I’m with you boy” kind.
The latter were in the minority
in out-of-state mail (which in
cluded letters from Texas, Massa
chusetts, Ohio, Pennsylvania and
Connecticut), but ran about 60-40
against in letters from North
Carolinians.
Governor Scott told a press
conference that he feels Truman
could “run tomorroow and be
elected’ and that he was certain
enough to bet that as of right
now Truman could carry North
Carolina “by a big majority.”
He said, he hopes a visit early
in the campaign by the Demo
cratic presidential candidate to
North Carolina will cut off any
Dixiecrat movement or coalition
between so-called Democrats and
Republicans.

Odds and ends: Capus Waynick,
Nicaraguan ambassador men
tioned as a potential candidate
for governor, will be back in the
state in July. He’ll take time
out to write a book, and will an

whether or not he'll run for gov- j
emor. . . . An alleged radio com- j

WHAT WOULD*I DO?
What would I do without Jesus?
To whom else in this world
could I go?
Who would listen end answer me
kindly
When I pour out my heart’s
grief and woe?
Who would help me to rise when
I’ve fallen—
Lead me to the right path
when I stray—
Tarn my nighttime of sorrow to
gladness—
Give me strength at the dawn
ing of day?
What would I do without Jesus?
When I'm lonely, what other
could say,
“Lo, I will be with you alway,
“Fear not, I will hear when yod
pray?”
TW friends may despise and for
sake me,
And homeless this earth, I may
roam,
He has promised this Blessed Re
deemer,
That He never will leave me
alone.
What would I do without Jesus?
Could I cross the dark river
alone ?
Without Him I could not make
the harbor
Or enter that heavenly home.
So I’ll strive every day to live
closer
And more like the Master to
be;
Tell Him morning and noontide
and evening.
I could not get along without
Thee.
—Mrs. Gilbert Lighty.

SPRING
What lovely things Spring does
bring;
It turns the meadows from brown
to green
It puts a color to this old earth
And gives the world a brand new
birth.
Spring is here and the flowers
bloom
To give life to some sick one’s
room,
The birds are singtng their sweet
refrain
From the coast of Florida to the
coast of Maine.
The people are happy, they shout
and ting;
The children play and the church
bells ring;
No ice, no snow, no sleet, no rain:
It is God working—’tis Spiing
again.
—Ralph Griffin.

NOODLE MERCHANT
SENTENCED FOR
WAGE-HOUR VIOLATIONS
WASHINGTON, D. C. — War
ren S. Woo, Minneapolis mer
chant and manufacturer of Chi
nese-style foods, doing business
as the Peking Food Products Co.
was sentenced by U. S. District
Judge Gunnar H. Nordbye on
March 26 to serve six months in
jail and fined $500 for violating
the minimum wage overtime pay,
and record-keeping requirements
of the Fair Labor Standards Act.
The court also ordered Woo to
pay eight employees hack wages
of about $1,094. according to Win.
R. McComb, Administrator of the
U. S. Labor Department’s Wage
and Hour and Public Contracts
Divisions. * .
Sentence was imposed after a
Federal jury found Woo guilty of
15 counts contained in informa
tion filed by Clarence U. Land
rum, U. S. Attorney for the Dis
trict of Minnesota.
The jail sentence was imposed
by Judge Nordbye on counts
charging willful falsification of
payroll records which Woo was
required by law to keep. The fine j
was assessed on counts charging
unlawful shipment in interstate;
commerce of noodles and other I
foods produced by employees who
had been paid less than the 75
cents-an-hour minimum, or less
than time and one-half for hours
worked in excess of 40 a week,
as required by law. Woo was
also placed on 2 years’ probation
for failure to pay the minimum
wage.
Woo’s previous convictions were
for similar violations of the Fed
eral wage-hour law. In Septem
ber, 1945, he was fined $500, and
in March, 1948, a fine of $1,000
was imposed after he pleaded
guilty to criminal charges.
In imposing sentence, Judge
Norbye severely criticized the de
fendant’s actions. The case was
presented by Assistant U. S. At
torney Clifford Hinsen, who was
assisted by Herman Grant, Re
gional Attorney of the U.. S. La
bor Department, and Mrs. Mary
T. Soddy, also a Department at
torney. %
