Federal Action Ahead Of General's Report The ousted colonel said he learned his federal recognition was withdrawn December 10. He said General Charles S. Lincoln, conducting the investigation, re ported that his recommendations were forwarded to Washington, D. C, five days later December 15. "These." the colonel paid, "were forwarded without containing my complete defense, for I am still awaiting depositions of testimony from witnesses considerably re moved from Portland." In reply to a wire sent today by Paul Doyle, state commander of the disabled American veterans of the World war for the Oregon de partment, to Senator Frederick Steiwer at Washington, D. C, ask ing for information about with drawal of federal recognition from Colonel Libby, he received the fol lowing telegraphed reply: "Your wire of even date re ceived. Have talked with chief of militia regarding Colonel Libby and he advises action was taken after recommendation made by governor and state adjutant. Advises file indicates thorough in vestigation was made and it was concensus of opinion among offi cers of regiment that Libby was temperamentally unfitted for post." Word reached here from Wash ington, D. C, last night that Ma jor General George E. Leach, chief of the militia bureau, de nied he bad given any informa tion to Senator Steiwer or anyone else that Governor Meier had in any way figured in the ouster of Colonel Libby.

Russell, Jr., said tonight he would have no statement to make regarding the refusal of the governor of New Jersey to grant extradition to Robert Elliott Burns, until he had heard from John I.

Jones, vice-chairman of the Georgia prison commission, said he knew of nothing the com mission could do except take the action of the New Jersey executive as final. Hints Action May Be Renewed in Future "There may be nothing else we can do until New Jersey gets a new governor," he added, but re fused to amplify this statement. Lawrence Camp, attorney gen eral, said ho would withhold com ment until he could confer with Kelley. Asked if the state contem plated further steps, he said: What can we do?" Chairman E. L. Rainey of the prison commission said "maudlin sentimentality caused Governor Moore to make such a decision. He cannot possibly know the facts.

Mr. Roosevelt is understood to have his own plans for dealing with debtor nations separately and through regular diplomatic channels after he becomes pres ident. Misleading Implications From Commission Mr. Roosevelt's friends said that unless the limitations of a com mission such as Mr. Hoover pro posed were clearly stated, the United States government might later be accused of misleading the Europeans by not following what the Europeans would be likely to regard as the American policy, as determined by the commission. "Dispatches from London and Paris," one of Mr. Roosevelt's close friends said, "furnish a good Illustration of European expecta tions that the appointment of any formal delegation at this time means immediate discussion of terms and policies." Most of Mr. Roosevelt's day was spent in signing Christmas par dons for inmates of state prisons aud in talking with state depart ment heads regarding curtailment of expenditures. In the latter connection he said there had been a response from many sections of New York to his presidential campaign Epeech at Portland, Ore., in which he stated his views that governmental bod ies dealing with public utilities, such as the New York State Pub lic Service commission, should have more than quasi-judicial powers. He said upstate New York communities acted promptly upon his statement that such commis sions should investigate and reg ulate. As a result, he said, many cities and villages have asked for immediate investigation of public utility rates in their territory. Officers Elected At Independence INDEPENDENCE. Dec. 21.
