It was agreed by all parties

whether Olson's service Is con

While newspaper controversy
over the July 4 "theft" of col
lege-university merger petitions
continues, the problem bothering
Henry Zorn,. John Ramage and
other leaders la the merger
movement, is whether to coatia-
ne with the services of BrowneU
and Slocum, Portland attorneys,
who thus far have organised the
school merger fight. ,
Zorn and Ramage are admit
tedly disgusted with, some of the
goings-on In the offices of these
Portland era and in an Informal
statement here yesterday de
clared the Marion County Tax
leagne might shortly disassociate
Itself from all connection with
the two Portlanders.
In the first place, Zorn and
Ramage are irate because the po
tions were left in the attorneys'
office Monday, July 4. when It
had been agreed that not later
than July 1, Friday, the peUUoaa
were to be placed In the safe
keeping of a large Portland bank.
Assert BrowneU
Interfered in Plans
Zorn and Ramage and other
merger leaders are also dissatis
fied with the alleged interference
of Cyril BrowneU with their
plans. "We hired only Slocum."
Zorn said, "and BrowneU came
into the picture without our con
sent." Zorn then unfolded an offer
BrowneU had made July 4, pur
ported to have come from friends
of the university. The offer was
a payment of $1000 in cash te
the tax leaguers If they wonld
cease their fight. In addition,
BrowneU said he would be able
to promise that the board of
higher education would elect Dr.
W. J. Kerr of Corvallis as chan
cellor of higher education and
would also restore the school of
commerce to Corvallis. Zorn said
his group promptly refused the
offer because they were fighting
for a orlnciple, not for money.
Money which has been spent i
for the petition campaign and U
has run into many thousands of
dollars has not come throagh ,
BrowneU and Slocum and te
Zorn's knowledge only a small
sum has thus far come from Cor- -vallls.
