The Minnesota republican presldenUal aspirant went to Eugene from Klamath Fails and was down for hops to Salem, Independence. Dallas, back to Salem, over to La Grande and Pendleton and back to PorUand today. Reason for the man-killing pace of the schedule la the Insertion of Htassen's much-heralded radio debate with New Vork Governor Thomas E. Dewey In Portland Monday night Here in Klamath Falls Stassen and hla party arrived by plane from The Dalles about 6:20 p. m., and went direcUy to the courthouse where he stepped to a battery of microphones and gave a well-reeelved talk to probably 4000 persons who Jammed the courthouse lawn and entire block of Main street Subject of the Minnesotan's discussion was "Building America,' and he called for a revival of the "dynamic, pioneering spirit of the West" to safeguard this country's dominant place in the world's future. Stassen declared that whoever the GOP nominates for president next month, hi party must commit luelf lo expansion of the West's resources, break through the hous ing jam and expand domestic facili ties such as highways. "The spirit of building 1 needed in Uie repub lican party and In America." he declared. He pledged himself, if elected, to have two Westerners In his cabinet, one the secretary of Interior. On the subject of another world war, Uie much-traveled Stassen said that everywhere he goes that ques tion 1 asked him most frequenUy. No War Seen "No," he said, "not Inevitably, but there Is danger. We need a foreign policy to show Russia we mean business. We cannot drift along." Urging that the United States quit doing business with Russia a long as that country seems bent on another conflict, Stassen said that In 1947 the U. 8. aent more poten Ual tools of war to Russia than to the friendly nations of England and France.

In every one, Stassen said, communists were given a legal status which they used along with their underground tactics to take over the existing governments. That must not be allowed to happen here, he declared. . Place for Optimism -It we show we are going to be strong, there Is a place for optimism over the future. Remember, man was meant to be free," he concluded. A quesUon and answer session fol lowed the talk and Stassen had a direct answer for every query. He declared himself in favor with most provisions of the Taft-HarUey labor law, of a required manpower (selec tive service) act, of government aid to housing, of government limlta Uons on market speculations and consumer credit and against wage and price controls.
