HE'S MAKING THE GRADE
lIndependent-starl

Although we have by necessity
had to observe the conduct and
actions of Gov. Luther Hodges
fromia back seat, in a manner of
speaking, since his ascension to the
governors chair from the position
of Lieutenant-G Governor, at the
death of the late Gov. William B.
Umstead, our present opinion is
that so far he is making a good
chief executive for the State of
North Carolina.
We like the way Gov. Hodges
conducted himself with the recent
Legislature. While he was not de-
handing, he seemed from where
we are sitting, to be most coopera-
tive and ready with what he
thought to be a sound suggestion
on Legislative matters and other
matters pertaining to State.
The Governor has been equally
level-headed and sensible in other
matters that have come before him
since taking office. If he did
not have an opinion on a matter
when it came up, he was frank to
say so and did not hesitate to lei
it be known that he needed time
to study the situation before com
ing to a decision.
With the various branches OF
the State government the Cover.
nor has been ready to say what
he liked or disliked about them
and has had, in our opinion, some
good and sound suggestions about
how to make these branches more
effective and more efficient to the
people of North Carolina. He has
disagreed with branch heads, but
at the same time made it cleal
that he did it with no personal
animosity toward them, having on
| ly the best interests of the people
of the State at heart. How well
