United States Attorney General Commends District Attorney Gaskill Julian T. Gaskill, United States attorney for the Eastern District of North Carolina, and a native of Sea Level, has been highly commended ? by Herbert Brownell Jr., United v States attorney general. In a letter to Mr. Gaskill, which is reprinted below, Mr. Brownell commends him for the excellent manner in which he has carried out his duties for the federal govern ment. In addition to the comments by Mr. Brownell. Mr Gaskill reports that during the fiscal year of 1956, Judge Don Gilliam of the Eastern District of North Carolina, had the largest and heaviest case load of any individual judge in the United * States. 1 Mr. Gaskill adds, "A large meas ure of the credit for any success by I this office during the past three years has been brought about not only by the efforts of the United ji Staes attorney but also by the fine II cooperation and efficiency of both ji the legal and clerical staff." ]i Mr. Brownell's letter to Mr. Gas 1 kill follows: j: Office of the Attorney General Washington, D. C. October 17, 1956 !| Mr. Julian T. Gaskill j, I nited States Attorney I Raleigh, North Carolina li Dear Mr. Gaskill: Ji I have read with interest your re ] port of the work of your office for ]j the fiscal year ended June 30, 1956, i! and I commend you and your staff f.j on the results achieved. (j 1 note that during this period 146 j; civil cases were filed and you n closed out 151, leaving 123 cases pending at year's end. In the crim ^ inal field, the number of com jj plaints roceived and cases filed ; have shown a steady increase over the past three years. ? This year 1208 complaints were received and you filed 646 cases. A total of 650 cases was tcrminat jj ed, and 86 cases were pending on | July 1, 1956. The number of cases you disposed of is encouraging for. as you know, the Department of Justice conducted a vigorous cam paign last year to reduce the Gov ernment case backlog by at least 25 percent. This campaign was eminently successful and resulted in an over' all reduction of 5,208 cases. You have been equally diligent in the collection of moneys due the Government. The aggregate of $217,043.80 collected represents an i increase over the previous year and of this amount $55,109.10 was recovered without incurring the ex pense of litigation. Your cooperation, in this regard helped the Department of Justice to establish an all-time record for collections last year. A total of $42,03,788 was collected or over $8 million more than has ever been collected in any single year in De ! partmental history. The responsibility of administer ing the Government's legal busi ness in the Eastern District of North Carolina, which includes 44 counties, with a population of ap proximately 1,700,000, is a demand ing one. This responsibility is fur ther increased by the number of Federal installations in your dis trict, which includes Fort Bragg Army Base, Camp Lejeune Marine Base and the Cherry Point Naval Air Base. You have discharged this responsibility in a very creditable manner. While one attorney, stationed in ! the Middle District of North Caro lina, handles all land matters for the entire State, a considerable portion of your work is concerned with assisting in acquisition and condemnation actions and the trial thereof. The largest number of land cases in the State are in your district and [aria* from such projects as the Hattcras Seashore Recreational Area, which includes approximate ly 30,000 acres, the acquisition of ! several thousand acres for the Sun ny Point Array Loading Depot in Brunswick County, and the Kerr Dam Project. The aid you have rendered in the acquisition of land (or expand ed military needs has contributed in a very material way to the strengthening of our national de fense. The list of criminal prosecutions handled by you shows that the two largest single categories of of fenses were those involving liquor law violations and interstate trans portation of stolen motor vehicles. By your vigorous prosecution of liquor law violations you have dem onstrated the seriousness with which the Government views the widespread illicit manufacture of liquor with its attendant substan tial loss in tax revenue. You have also been admirably forceful in bringing to justice a substantial number of car thieves, whose num bers have grown alarmingly in re cent years throughout the country. The effectiveness of your care ful preparation of cases was dem onstrated in two tax evasion cases during the year. In one case the defendant pleaded guilty after his counsel were made aware of the nature of the evidence, and in another case the defendant, after conviction in one case, pleaded guilty in a companion case. In a case involving the false al teration of tobacco inspection cer tificates as well as false representa tions that tobacco had been inspect ed and weighed in compliance with the Tobacco Inspection Act, the defendant, a large operator with tobacco warehouses in several states, was convicted after a five day trial. In a similar case, convicition was also obtained against the defend ant who was the Chairman of the Board of Commissioners of his county and was engaged in exten sive farming and business opera tions. I join in the commendation which you received from officials of the Department of Agriculture 'AM No costly pipes or registers to install or clean f Sitfltt It tot i tpm htotu tktt wttfti hut if tho ehinnty tnd on ikt etllki twlH not to lin In out or two room.

Banker Reports On Bond Sales Carteret residents bought a total of $48,308.43 worth of savings bonds during September. J. R. Sanders, savings bonds volunteer chairman for the county, said that the total sales in the county so far this year amount to $551,324.43. The widespread popularity of United States Savings Bonds among our citizens is revealed by their continued purchases of Series E Bonds, ?ays Mr. Sanders, who joined with the savings bonds di vision in expressing thanks for this fine support. Texas had about 10 million visi tors in 1955. for your very able prosecution of these cases. I am, of course, gratified at the splendid cooperation you have re ceived from District Judge Don Gilliam in facilitating the early dis position of Government cases. This cooperation is typical of the help ful attitude manifested by the ju diciary in general toward the De partment's endeavors to speed up the termination of Government cases. The highly commendable results you have achieved reflect the devo tion to duty and unstinting effort which have characterized your in cumbency as United States Attor ney.

I know that your future record will reflect the same high degree of capability and accomplishment. Sincerely Herbert Brownell, Jr. Attorney General Mr. Gaskill was nominated for the district attorney post by Pres ident Eisenhower and the Senate confirmed the appointment in March 1954.
