L'nder date of January 21. Mr. Long wrota Mr. How a lengthy letter in which he outlined the reasons why he should hot accept the appointment. Later he notified Mr. Howe of his clc cislon not to serve. Responsive to th i announcement by Mr. Long, Mr. Howe telegraphed: "It I with regret that I accept you decision not to become a member of the board." West's Protest Antedated. Mr. Long's letter was written prior to tha appearance of ex-Uovernor West before the military atfalr committee of the Senate protesting against Mr. Longs being named a member of the advisory commission to the Aircraft Productloh Board to act with W. M. I.add, of Portland, In an advisory capac ty to Colonel DlHnue, o" the spruce production division of th United states Signal Corps. Mr. Long heartily concur In the opinion expressed by Mr. West, that no member of a committee who is direct ly or indirectly Instrumental In selling supplies tn the Government Fhould act n an official advisory catmclty. In hla letter to Mr. Howe, written nearly two week ago, Mr. Long said. part: I am the general manager of th Weyerhaeuser Timber Company and pen sonslly have exclusive charge of th elllng of all timber and timber lands on the Pacific coast and in tn vicinity of the Columbia River, Wlllapa Harbor nd Graya Harbor, In the state of Washington, this company owns a very ara-e amount of limber lands and poa ibly own at least one-third of all the pruce stumpage that In adjacent t hese harbors In th state of Washing ton.

"It la unnecessary to say thnt bolh myself and the company that 1 rep resent, want to do everything we can n help produce aircraft material and hat I personally entertain the opinion that J could fill thl position without ther being Justly censured by th Weyerhaeuser Timber Company or by ny governmental Inquiry and yet it is part of wisdom always not to put oneself In an attitude of that kind and sometime It 1 the part of wistlom for the Government itself not to permit itself to be put In a position of that kind. "Now I want a full consideration of thl mailer given by the Aircraft Board and other proper offlelala, right now In the beginning of thia work and for this reason I am writing this letter as a matter to put In the record.

State Treasurer Kay baa not yet returned from the East, So a successor could not be appointed at thlr. time, but the beard temporarily named Charles K. stewar one of the examiners, aa Acting State Superintendent, pending the appoint ment of a permanent successor. At the meeting Secretary Oloott asked Mr. Sargent to make a recommendation as to his successor. The Secretary ha atated previously that he would abide by auch recommendation, and Mr. ear gent said his recommendation would be Mr. Stewart. Governor Kot Favorable to Stewart. "I will act on my own responsibility In voting for the choice of a successor to Mr. Sargent" said Governor withy combe. "Heretofore I have always acted on the recommendations made by Mr. Sargent, but at this time I must assume my own responsibility in vot Ing for his successor when the time comes." Mr. Stewart was for IS years assist ant cashier of the First National Bank at Albany. The Governor Intimated he would not be favorable to Stewart by stating that he believed Mr. Sargent' successor should ba a man of practleal executive experience In th banking world. I do not wish to be discourteous to Mr. Stewart," he said, "but I believe the position Should be held by some one with more than a clerk's expert ence." Fonr Candidates Heard From.

When the meeting IS held to finally determine upon the selection of Mr. Sargent's successor, it is apparent that becretary Olcott will vote for Mr. Stewart. Governor Withycombe's ee lection is not known, and Mr. Kay is aosent.
