Godwin predicts Howell will lose Virginia race
Gov Mills Godwin forecasted that Henry Howell would lose his bid for Virginia governor by a larger margin than in 1973 and said President Carter’s campaign would offer little edge to Howell. He noted potential cross‑ticket clashes among Democrats and stressed his focus on a $125 million state construction bond issue.

Paternity suit verdict favors defendant in Bluefield case
A Mercer County jury found Ronald Ray Herald not the father of Andrea Dawn Whitt after a trial in Bluefield. Dreama Ray Whitt testified to relations in 1975 and pregnancy in 1976, while Herald denied paternity and claimed no intimate contact. Witnesses for the defense contradicted Whitt, and a sperm analysis suggested Herald could not impregnate. The judge presided as the case concluded with a swift 20 minute deliberation.

He said he joined the deal at Irving Schwartz’s urging and wrote statements to racing writers and lawmakers claiming ownership. He admitted power was limited despite serving as unpaid Marlboro president and identified the other defendants guiding the scheme.
