Stassen added it also should be emphasized that "we will firmly oppose both fascism and com munism in America." ! I tie told delegates that a republi can majority in the house of rep resentatives following the next election ' would be "constructive and forward-looking . , , respond ing; to the responsibility of leader ship in this critical post-war pe riod.' The failure of the government's program for meat and for housing are two conspicuous examples," he declared. The meat program "failed because no one, democratic or republican or communist can successfully control in time of peace the economic details' that affect 140 million free people," Stassen said. f "If we only learn through this extreme example the weakness of centralized governmental control of details It will still be welt worth the,- price. f He decried the number of strikes and asked a new labor policy "It will not be an easy policy to evolve. It will require pioneer ing, it will be necessary to avoid the extremes on both sides," Stas env warned. i L Finally he called for the re publican party to win over war veterans by declaring; forthright policies.

Virtually 0 v e r y municipality frtm the metropolitan district to the smallest incorporated com munity is confronted with a de mand for. expanded service facili ties, the report said. Particular reference was made to water supplies, sewers, fire fighting apparatus, street lighting, pavement, police protection and general repairs. Because budgets of former years were inadequate to meet new conditions, sthe com mission said most municipalities are now casting about for new sources of revenue such' as addi tional charges on watefi consum ers and a service charge on sew ers. "Unfinished dwellings In Mar Ion county the report says, "rep resent $5,000,000 . . . About "2.000 members of the building trades' are employed in work on these 1.800 units, each of which Is short one or more necessary items to enable its completion. Similar conditions are said to exist in most other Oregon muni cipalities, Another problem facing the communities, the report declared, is the increasing wage scale. I.ow wages in the past have made it impossible for the state and its political subdivisions to compete with private Industries, the com mission averred. ; f The report emphasized that In the one year since V-J day appro ximately 2230 new firms have started business In Oregon with 22,700 employes. These are con cerns employing four or more w o.'r k e r s, Oregon's population, according to the commission report, now is estimated at 1,337,700, as against the last regular census In 1940 of 1,089.000.

Most important mining dis covery In Oregon during the war was the bauxite deposits in Col umbia, Washington, Marion and Polk counties, the commission said, adding that a large zinc and lead mining company, with un limited capital. Is locating in the eastern Oregon Sumpter district. The commission said coal min ing its being resumed at South port, Coos county, and for the first time t h e r o is a modern, mechanized coal mine producing washed ' coal in this state with production about 200 tons a day.
