Ralph A. DUNCAN, has written
to President Walter I. M.
Hodge, Of the v. T.. Senate as
follows:
"The President has asked me
to acknowledge your letter of
February 16 transmitting a
copy of the Legislatures ex-
preston Of confidence in Gov
ernor PaieWonsky.
It is most gratifying to see
this kind Of responsible, nom
partisan evidence of under
standing between the execu-
tive and legislative branches
in your territory. | am well
aware that there are those who
would pit one branch against
the other in an effort to gain
their own detectives. Undoubt-
edly, severe pressures were
brought to bear in an effort to
use the Legislature as a device
to discredit the Governor. It
does your body great honor
that you abandoned the easy
way of silence in favor Of an
express vote Of condence.
