Stassen Assails Dewey's Red Policy PORTLAND, Ore., May 12— (UP)—Presidential candidate Her old E. Stassen of Minnesota to night started his showdown battle against Governor Thomas E. Dewey of New York for the Ore gon republican delegation b y charging that Dewey mistakenly believed in a “soft, coddling policy toward communists.” Stassen flew to Oregon five days Steel workers To Battle Third Party BOSTON, May 12—(UP)—The United Steel Workers voted today to fight the third party movement of Henry A. Wallace. “Every damn communist in America is for the third party,” Vice-President Van A. Bittner charged. “If a third party is formed in the United States in the future, the steel workers will have some thing to say.” Adoption Opposed Irvin Fleet, delegate from Phila delphia district 7, opposed adop tion of the anti-third party reso lution. Neither Democrats nor Re publicans have candidates worthy of CIO support, he said. The resolutions committee agreed in effect when it reported that it ■ would be “premature” to support any candidates. At the same time, it said it would leave endorsement of a presidential candidate to the union’s executive board. The action killed 225 resolutions submitted throughout the country asking that Gen. Dwight D. Eisen hower be drafted for the nomina tion. A spokesman estimated that 125,000 steel workers were repre sented in the draft-Eisenhower res olutions. Red Fostered The steel workers’ action came less than 24 hours after CIO Presi dent Philip Murray charged that the third party was a communist fostered organization that would destroy labor. The adopted resolution said the third party “has no basic support in the ranks of organized labo I ahead of schedule and nine days before the election to challenge Dewey, possibly in personal de bate, on communist policy and other election issues. Dewey made a campaign speech tonight at Pendleton, Ore., 227 miles east of Portland. Stassen said communist organi rived from Washington, D. C., on a hurry-up itinerary, he again told an audience at the Portland Ice Arena that the Communist party should be outlawed in the United States because it is a dangerous agent of a foreign power. Dewey has stumped Oregon for two weeks, repeatedly denouncing the Stassen policy as “immoral, unconstitutional and’ totalitarian.” Dewey said communists should be kept out in the open, as had been done in New York, to prevent them from going underground. Stassen’s reply tonight was: “I realize full well there are those who disagree with me. President Truman. Governor Dew ey, and Henry Wallace all contin "Beggar's Opera" (Continued f rom pane one) lads of the day. Much of the style of the Gilbert and Sullivan operas —the lilting tunes, exaggerated acting, and obvious asides to the audience—were initiated in “The Beggar’s Opera.” The show was completely pro duced and directed by Mr. Gelhau sen, many of whose ideas were ac quired first hand when he played in “The Beggar’s Opera” with a trav eling company. Mi1. Denton Rossell, assistant professor of voice, created an art istic setting with painted screens. These backdrops were changed in a unique fashion being carried on and off by the beggars thus mak ing a continuous performance pos sible. . . . and that premature organiza tion of such a party can only con tribute to the disunity of the people of this country. . . .” Secretary Treasurer David J. MacDonald said the steel workers would oppose the movement through a “potent political action committee.” THE NEW SEYMOURS Seymour's Cafe has that "New Look" now that it has been completely re modeled and decorated, thus making it one of Eugene's outstand ing cafes. Seymour's has been the "down town rendezvous" for Oregon stu dents for 20 years, and we cordially invite everyone to come in and see the new improvements. SUNDAY TO THURSDAY 7 a. m. to 12 p. m.

This soft policy of coddling com munist organizations with legality has three serious objections. 1. It increases the ease with which communism spreads. “2. It leads to a miscalculation in the Kremlin of the strength of their Own infiltration and might cause them to make bold moves toward war. 3. America’s soft policy toward communism causes other free na tions to do the same, with se rious results. Stassen said the state of New York has followed this “unrealis tic, soft policy.” New York today is the national headquarters of the communists in America. New York has only nine per cent of the population of Amer ica, but New York has 40 per cent of the communists of America within its borders. “The communist organization to , day maintains fifteen offices in New York. They are listed in the New York phone book. These of fices have a network of telephones and of communication throughout the nation. “The national headquarters is at 35 East 12th street. The east mid town office is at 324 Second ave nue. The waterfront section is lo cated at 269 West 25th street and various assembly district offices are listed. S'tassen said communits organi zations in free countries are like a “submerged submarine with only the periscope and radio antenna showing.” “They use their legal standing as their periscope and means of com munication, and the vast substance of their activity and their torpe doing power is underneath the sur facee.” Night Staff: Corky Hoppe Elvin Oestreich Lorrie Gueulette Anne Case I CAMPUS 1 CALENDAR 8 a.m.: Intervarsity Christian fellowship Bible studies in men’s lounge, Gerlinger. 11 a.m.: IVCF Bible studies at the conference room of the YMCA.
