Governor Earl Snell On This Day In Oregon

On this day in 1942, Oregon Governor Earl Snell in Columbus, Ohio for the 35th Annual Governor's Conference, said that he hoped to receive conference suggestions on protection of his state from Japanese bombing.

"We are the only state in the Union over which enemy planes have flown and on which enemy bombs have been dropped," he said, "and we don't like it."
