ernor Wilson disposed of the charges
OF j. w. Park. of Los Angeles, today
in a letter to Acting Chairman Nc
Ajoo, OF the campaign committee. in
which he recalled that he had been
obliged TO reject certain thesis.
which Park had written, and which
rejection prevented him from passing
an examination.
This shows the motive for the at
tack on the governor, and dtsposes
Of the attack The governors let
ter is as follows:
My Dear MeAdoo: | have looked
over the material You handed me
containing the statements of olia j.
W. I'ark. about opinions he says I
expressed To him. and ain very much
SURPRISED to learn that Senator Dixon
has been a party TO their use in cir
cuiation.
Il did not at first reeoilect Park
at all. but / have looked him up In
the records of the university. and
recall him now very clearly. / re-
member having been Obliged 10 reject
certain written work which he sub
mitted for a degree. because of its
utter confusion of thought, II
showed that he could neither Trims
or comprehend. His mind wtss Of the
Statements Entirely False.
AS for his statements, they are,
OF course. entirely false. / never eX-
pressed the opinions he ascribes to
mo, FOR the very good reason that /
never entertained them. ! should not
like To believe the man deliberately
false. 1t Is only, / dare say another
instance of his entire inability either
to understand or interpret anything
said To him
'fpithfuiiy yours,
WOODROW VII son"
