Governor Glenn is in receipt OF let
tiers from the governor of Michigan, to
himself and to the committee OF North
Carolina B~OndnOlders, in regard to the
bond matter for proposed litigation VS..
the state of North Carolina. The let
ter which Governor Warren sent to
this committee is as follows: Il beg
TO acknowledge receipt Of your letter
of March 10th. My reply to your COM
municatiOn has been delayed as | de-
sired to secure some information from
the governor of North Carolina before
accepting the offer made by your COM
mittee. From the report made to me
by Governor Glenn, | am convinced
that our acceptance of the bonds would
serve no other purpose than lnvolV-
ing the state in prOtracted litigation.
That course would have to be taken
if anything was realized from the
bonds. After carefully considering the
matter, | have decided to decline your
offer. My refusal to do so is based
upon my belief that the state would
have nothing tC gain by its acceptance
of a gift that simply paves the way
for a lawsuit. The state Of Michigan
doe snot care to be placed in the po-
sition where it can be said that 1t is
being used to involve another state in
litigation. For the reasons given your
offer is respectfully declined"
