were on almost every tongue Thursday.
The plane crash death of Gov. Earl Snell, Secretary of State Rob
ert S. Farrell, Senate President Marshal Cornett and their Pilot Cliff
Hogue occasioned these comments from some of their close friends
and associates:
State Treasurer Leslie M. Scott:
This is an irreparable loss to the
people of Oregon as well as mem
bers of the families of these dis
tinguished men and the able pi
lot of their plane. These three
state officials have won the con
fidence of the people of Oregon by
frequent acts of high service to
the public. As an associate of
theirs through many years I
deeply grieve and wish that my
poor wqrds could Jixhtcn the sor
row of their passing to their fam
ilies and friends.
State Sen. Allan G. Carson:
Even to one so inured to sudden
and violent removal of his friends
this blow is staggering, and I am
stunned. It seems unbelievable.
May God rest the souls and com
fort the families of these four men.
The state has suffered a. trebly
severe loss. m
State Sen. Douglas McKay:
Never in the history of Oregon
have we suffered a tragedy such
as this. Three outstanding men
of proven ability and integrity are
gone. My deepest sympathy goes
to the families of these three dis
tinguished men, and also to the
wife of the pilot.
State Rep. W- W. Chad wick:
I'm overwhelmed at the catastro
phe. Snell was one of the most
outstanding governors our state
overbad; Bob Farrell was one of
the most promising and able young
executives. Marshall Cornett re
cently guided our senate through
a turbulent and important legis
lative session. Oregon has suffer
ed an irreparable loss.
State Rep. Frank A. Doerfler:
This is the biggest shock I have
had. The death of these leaders
of Oregon is a loss that will long
be felt. The lump in my throat
prevents me from further ex
pressing my sorrow and my ap
preciation1 of the work these men
have accomplished.
State Rep. Paul R. Hendricks:
I am terribly shocked and sad
dened by the deaths of thefe men
and 1 sympathize deeply with
their wives and families.
Marion County Judge Grant
Murphy: 1 regarded Governor
Snell as a very able executive." It
is unfortunate that the state
should lose such a leader. I re
gard his loss not only as an offi
cial but also as a personal friend
for many years.
Jay Bowerman, former gover
nor of Oregon: No words can ex
press my Sense of loss. The state
has lost our two most experienced
state officials as well as the prom
isfng president of the senate. The
services of all three were Inval
uable. No one can think of this
tragedy?.w-jthout shock and deep
sympathy for the bereaved famil
ies. J - - '
President G. Herbert Smith,
Willamette university: The tragic
death of the three offk-enpof the
state of Oregon and their pilot
has brought a real sense of per
sonal loss to the Willamette uni
versity campus. Governor Snell
was not only a member of the
official visitors of the state to the
university, but he has been a real
neighbor in every sense of the
word. During his term in the gov
ernorship, Mr. Snell has always
replied enthusiastically to any
service which has been requested
by the university.
George Alexander, superinten
dent of the state penitentiary: The
tragic news of the plane crash is
an overwhelming shock to the re
sidents of Oregon and people
throughout the nation. Telegrams

tastrophe which will not be for
gotten for years to come if ever.

engineer: The loss of three top
officials in Oregon's state govern
ment has deeply shocked and
grieved everyone. The state has

generation dies out and the
