and Mrs. West that gifts might be pre-
sented. He recalled a precedent when
United States Senator Claude A. Swan
son was governor, and introduced Sena-
tor H. T. Wickham, who was member
of the House at the time. Senator

the governor and FIRST lady on behal1
of the Assembly.
Mr.. Dovell said the four years Of the
Byrd administration marked the most
brilliant Administrations of State affairs

plause when he predicted that the citi-
zenship of Virginia would not permit
the governor to retain long the status
of private citizen.
Governor's Response.
Accepting the bowl for himself and
Mrs. Byrd the governor said, in part:
Nothing has ever touched us so
deeply as this token of your esteem. The
good will and esteem of friends is the
most precious thing in life. Nothing
else can ever be compared to it. The
governor is a mere incident in the prog
ress of Virginia. appreciate the kind
things you have said, but do not feel
that deserve them"

talk, declaring the Senate's presiding
