PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 23. (AP)
C. C. Colt, vice-president of the state
board of higher education, today sub
mitted his resignation to Governor
Meier. He declared he resigned be
cause It seemed Impossible, under the
circumstances, to harmonize the edu
cational forces and the work of the
board." Coifs action followed closely
that of O. L. Starr, board president,
who resigned at the request of the
governor.
Roscoe C. Nelson, prominent Port
land attorney, was appointed by the
governor to succeed Starr, whose
...i.iinn was reaucsted Monday.
' Thla appointment was made shortly

A successor to Colt Is yet to be named.

Colt, who la executive vlce-presl-iv,.

had been a member of the board of
higher education since lta creation In
1939. He was appointed by Governor
Patterson for a nine-year term. Prior

An,, h continues to say that "In

assurance In my mind that the state

the system Is maintained In the In

Pleaunt Duty Formerly.
Colt also said "I have been Inter.
eated for many years, as a regent of
the university and as a member or
the state board of higher education
in trying to assist our boys snd girls
In securing higher education as an
equipment for their life's work. It
has been a most pleasant duty and
until recently It has not been dlffl
cult. Differences of opinion have,
for the most part, been harmonized
in the Interests of the Institutions
and the youth served by them."
PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 22. (AP)
Confident, he said, that it is "both
accurate and adequate." Dr. W. J,
Kerr, chancellor of higher education
al institutions in Oregon, late yes
terday transmitted to the state board
of higher education a report from
the executive officers of Oregon State
college denying that there had been
any irregularities In the conduct of
the building department of that In
stitution.
The report was a pointed rejoinder
to charges mode by Otto P. Kubln.
.head of the accounting division of
the office of the secretary of state,
who recently sharply criticized the
work of E. P. Jackson, building su
perintendent at the college.
Irregularities Indicated
The Kubln report had indicated
that under Jackson'a Jurisdiction a
quantity of linoleum had gone astray,
that some window shades ordered for
the college were unaccounted for,
and that there were Irregularltlea In
payment of substitutes for Janitorial
service.
The state college report to the
chancellor, signed by W. A. Jensen,
executive secretary, took tihe Kubln
report severely to task.
"It will be noted." the Jensen
statement said, "thst Auditor Kubln
states that all these 'tales of vitu
perative gossip Involving several offi
cials connected with the college
excepting the case of the superin
tendent of buildings are not worthy
of any further consideration.' There

the $200,000 Charles F. Urschel ran
dom was followed through the mazes

ginning with motions to dismiss ex

Two Minneapolis bankers, a truck
driver and a federal agent testified
during the morntng, the bankers
tracing $1800 of which $1500 proved
to be $20 notes identified as part of
the huge ransom Urschel's kidnapers

ney) Berman and Clifford Bkelly, to
a bank where the $1800 was exchang
ed for a cashier's check.

the versions of the chief parties.
Drlskell Is former school director of
Derby. The trouble has been raging
for two yeara,
"I am looking for an adjustment
of this trouble there might not be
any but we ll try. H can arrange
a truce It will be better all around."
said the court at the start. Only
tile children were aworn. The el
ders lust gave their side.
Mrs. Drlskell told the court that
the quarrel was of 13 ..years' stand
ing, starting on a homestead In Osn
ada and continuing on a homestead
In Jackson county. She averred
"Clyde never did like me from the
start." The husband has a divorce.
Mrs. Drlskell and her four children
are homeateadlng In the Derby sec
tion on land adjoining the defend
ant, who la charged with assault and
battery.
The woman alleged that the de
fendant "aimed slander at her." and
tormented me for years," and that
she was the victim of vllllfylng gos
sip "to strange neighbors" over a
considerable period.
This week the matter came to a
fistic' encounter, and Mrs. Drlskell
charges that Clyde Drlskell "knocked
her flat." tore her clothing, and said
'everything that could be said," and
'twisted my arm until neighbors
came." Mrs. Drlskell snowea ine
court her thumb, where she claimed
Drlskell "had dug hla thumb." leav-
tng a deep cut. The blowa came aa
the climax of Drlskell'a claim that
"Vie boya threw rocka at him and
hla house on the way home from
school." Mrs. Drlskell said "when I
got up I hit him aa hard aa I could
with my fist."
. Mrs. Drlskell said a road and a
man "named Harry" had nothing to
do with the bitterness. She said: "I
am homesteadlng because X have al
ways wanted a home, and am going
to make one." She said she has 140
quarta of foodstuff prepared for the
winter.
Drlskell told the court the trouble
had been under way for some time;
that Mrs. Drlskell was the aggressor,
and that he acted only In mild self-

upon the public protests made Mon
day and Tuesday evenings by can
nery workers, who appealed to the
Chamber of Commerce for aupport In
demanding a change In wages, which
they claimed under the present setup

Protxman pointed out that under the
National Recovery Act code and the

not require that all women piece
