COMPLAINT OF LOWELL
RESENTED BY GOVERNOR
Local Lawyer Had Criticised
Appointments to State De-
fense Board.
(Oregon Journal.N


Departing in a burst of ungovern-
able temper Governor Withycomb be
| brought to a sudden and confusing
| trmination Wednesday conference
between himself. representatives of
the Oregon Patriotic Service league
and H. L. Corbett, temporary chair
man OF the Oregon branch of the ma :
| tiOnaI defense commission.
The meeting had been arranged by
the leagues publicity committee to
secure a working agreement and to
end the uncertainty as to the place
which the league should take in the
general state patriotic movement
Though the league had been organiz-
ed for emergency patriotic service at
the outbreak of war with delegates
sent from more than 500 organiza-
tions. the governor had not recngniz.
ed it in his subsequent appointment
Of the national defense committee for
oregon.
Nor had he responded in any def
mite way to the leagues request tina:
it be given some official designation
that would end the confusion of au-
thority between the committee which
which has made progress in organiz-
ing the state for patriotic purposes.
The meeting began with the read
ing of a letter from Stephen A. Lowell
Of Pendleton criticising the governors
appointments. holding him responsi
BILE for the confusion and calling at.
tention to the fact that the william
ette valley had been left unrepresent-
ed.
The governor spoke resentfully Of
the letter He declined to recognise
the league officially and said he would
not give it a letter suggesting its ap-
pointment as a citizens auxiliary to
the oregon members of the National
Defense league.
Then J E. Werlein asserted that tha
governors actions had been criticised
because he had not recognized that
oregon was the first state Of the
union whose citizens had Organized
for defense. because he had passed hv
the entire movement in making his
appointments. and because he had ap-
parently thwarted every effort of the
league TO be Of service for some un-
explained motive which he intimated
was political
The governor bridled. He said he
had made appointments as he thought
best. He left the room in a huff. de-
claring, Il will not stay here to be in
suited" He refused to stay two min
utes longer at the insistence of the
chairman. saying he had train -
