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.

That s the situation Frances Dee step

Come down to the State today and
find out how the lord of the jungle
happened into a Bronx living-room,
dressed in "scanties" onjy.
He brought them into the world
and he eased them out of it. He waa
the target of malicious gossip, snd
object of professional contempt, but
in the crisis he alone could be de
pended upon to pull them through.
Such a man is "Doctor Bull," Will
Rogers latest starring picture which
closes Wednesday at the McDonald
as part of a double bill with Aniak
chak," Alaskan scientific film. Will
gives a grandly sympathetic charac

of the more sophisticated dramas of

the role of a songwriter, while Mary
