Meier was silent to day on his action to appoint a suc cessor to C. Ii. Starr, chairman of the state board of higher education, who resigned Wednesday at the re quest of the governor.

Starr declared that the suspected irregularities at the Colleae were dis closed to him In an oral statement made to him in confidence in the of fice of the secretary of state; that he asked and obtained permission to con vey the information to Chancellor W. J. Kerr, and merely respected the confidence imposed in him concerning what was not at the time a public document. of stale of Oregon .that the "flare up" in the board over the charge at Oregon State is effort to "make a mountain out of a molehill," and on the well known deference and respect shown by Mr. Starr to all members of the board.
