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.”

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.

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.

. . . 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

Seymour's has been the "down

invite everyone to come in and see
the new improvements.

ue to believe that the blessing of
lgality should be extended to the
communist organizations.”
"I am certain that Governor
Dewey is sincere In his position,
but I submit that he is mistaken.
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.”
