Newspaper Page TextTHE EUGENE BEOISTEB-QU ABD Pago Two SPECIAL AUDIT TO BE RELEASED BY CHANCELLOR KERB (CONTINUED FROM PAGE I) monioua meeting in Portland Monday named a motion by E. C. Bsramona, chairman of the finance committee, demanding the aecretary of atate to oroduee the report. Bo far efforts of newspapermen to obtain the report failed, although Kerr a answers to apecial audit items was given out bjr the secretary ot atate. 'J.ne contents of the apecial audit, other than those answered by Kerr, have not been made known. Kerr's replies covered 157 pages of closely typewritten ma terial. Private Use Charged Charges agalnat Jackson included shortages In his Inventory accounts, irregulsrities In handling accounts, use of materials for his own nse, six weeks paid vacation of a truck dri ver, and employment of his daughter In his own office, and general laxity In the conduct of his business affairs. The chief crllicism here In the en tire matter is the attempt to suppress the audit. It was believed the irregu larities cited were In themselves mi nor, and would have been corrected withont public sentiment had the orig inal audit, completed during the legis lative session last February, been msdc public at once. Records at the secretary of state's office showed that S. D. Buell. who made the much-discussed audit was hired by Hoss August 1, 1032. He worked for 11 months, confining his service to an audit of Oregon State College finances. Hie salary was $175 monthly and expenses while away from Salem. Confer on Report " Buell was released July 1, 1933. The secretary of state's office re ported that Buell was originally em ployed on a temporary basis with the time of his service estimated at two months. Buell's release had nothing whatever to do with his audit find ings, Hoss' office reported. According to Hoss, Buell's Initial report of Irregularities wa submit ted to the seeertary of state In Feb ruary. The report wis sent to Dr. W. J. Kerr but not to the board of higher education. Shortly thereafter Kerr and 0. I Starr, chairman of the board, conferred with Hose and Otto Kubin, In charge of the auditing department. The report was then turned over to W. A. Jensen, execu tive aecretary to Chancellor Kerr at Oorvallls. . . Jensen prepared Answer The report released by Hoes was Compiled by Jensen. Jensen compiled with the Buell remarks, refutation for each charge. Numerous Tailed at . tacks on the auditor are contained b the 87-page document in which, in the main, the actions of Jackson who was criticised by Buell are. fully de tended. In Jensen's reply, statements from X. M. Smith of the business office at rAiiu i .... . Jackson, and extended affidavits from employee ot the college under Jack ion's direction. Reference la made In excerpts from Buell's andlt to "signed and sworn statements" to Buell'a possession which allegedly confirm Jackson's Ir regularities. These statement are ,ot Included in Jensen's report nor were they available at the aecretary of state's offices.
