SALRM, Or., May 31 (De claring that the real reason for his dismissal from the state game commission lty Governor Xorblad was his refusal to accept dictation from the governor's so-called board of strategy during the pre-primary political campaign, nnd that his position on the hoard was threat ened by a member of the "board,"' M. F. Corrigan of MeMinnville to day made public here a statement giving what he termed "the chain of circumstances leading up to my removal." The governor's explanation that he supplanted Corrigan with David Rvans or Kugene to readjust the geographical location of the com missioners Is branded by Corrigan as "a mere subterfuge to cloak the real issue." and the real issue, he saya, was the protection of Game, Warden Harold Clifford. Corrigan avers that, notwith standing the governor declared a policy of keeping game affairs out of politics, his board of strategy as sumed to dictate game commission matters, particularly, he say, after J. K. Culllson and Wilford All?.i were appointed members of the commission. "During the recent campaign, " says Corrigan, "Governor Xorblad i on numerous occasions publicly stated that he believed the game commission should he kept out of. politics, yet a coupje of months ' prior to the prlmnry election, the so-called hoard of strategy which was assisting in promoting the ean-j dlducjv of Governor Xorblad as- ! sume'd to dictate the policy th.it the game commission should pur sue In managing its Internal af fairs. I refer particularly to the organization of the commission after Cullison and Allen were named as members of the commis sion, and also as to the m a n n r of handling charges made against Warden Clifford and Deputy Clark. Commissioners were called to the headquarters of this so call"! ; board of strategy, plans of proced-j tiro were outlined which they wpi-' urged to follow, and. as a matter; of fact. It was difficult -to determ ine whether the headquarters of the game department were located' in the offices of the game commis sion or in the office of the hoard of strategy, and Governor Xorblad was fully aware of these proceed ings. "Having faith at that time thnt Governor Xorblad was sincere in his public utterances to the effect that the game commission should he kept out of politics, T resented the attitude of this so-called board of strategv and refused to accept dictation from them the I manner in which the commission : should handle Its nf fairs, with the result that one member of th I hoard of strategy announced th.it! has been expressed among em the tenure of office of Corrigan j ployees relative to a complete, would he cut short when the proper j No such step is contemplated, time arrived. He evidently knew according to Manager Owen, whereof he spoke, and that timj though. In common with the lum has now arrived. Therefore, my dis-I ber Industry of the Vacific coast, missal from the commission was no 1 surprise to me."

LAW General Opinion Deterrent To Enforcement Says Doran State Officials Fail To Co-Operate Large Minority Favor Repeal. WASHINGTON, May 31 p) Public opinion was described today by Prohibition Commissioner Do- -ran as the deterrent to that com plete enforcement of the dry laws " which could bo accomplished If alt the states would cooperate with the. federal authorities. In a monograph contending that the states and the federal govern . ment had concurrent obligations ' to enforce prohibition, Doran sabi that In states where there was lax cooperation "unwholesome Influ enced are at work to prevent en forcement." In New York City. Doran said, there Was close connection between the law breakers and the police, and a tendency of "city officials" to hamper federal enforcement of ficers in many obscure ways." First among his list of causes for lack of enforcement there, he placed: "A strong sentiment against tho prohibition law, not on the part of the majority, perhaps, but on the part of a large minority.' Doran said that a double obli gation rested upon the states to aid In the enforcement of the law i"the Inherent police power of the state to regulate liquor traffic and the power conferred on the st&te by tho United States In the Eighteenth Amendment." "Laws provide plenty of author ity for any state official to pro ceed legally against any violator of the national prohibition act," he addod. "The .fact that, in . those stutes that have no enforcement act and In some states that do have enforcement acts the duty is not performed does not alter the obli gation of the state enforcement of ficials in the least." Rovlewlng the dry statute, Do ran said prohibition of Intoxicating liquor did not start with the pas sage of the Klghteenth Amend ment, but had been enforced by 32 states through "bone dry" laws for several years before and in 16 others through local option. This, he said, brought a total of 66,000. 000 of the nation's population un der prohibition. The Volstead a't, he continued, was a composite of the prohibition laws' of the states which already had successfully en forced them. The state laws, the commissioner said, together with the concurrent power conferred by the Eighteenth Amendment, provide ample vehicle for enforcing the dry statute, If the 200,000 state, county and city police officers cooperate with the 2,000 prohibition agents of the na tion.
