"If e cannot proceed on a world basi as e ha hoped" sai Bevin, "then e aust proceed on a regional basis." Part of the apeeoh waa like a personal duel between Bevin and Viahinaky.

In bis S e t t l e s eech Dewey dealt with the development of our vast western water and po wer resource& Be pledged the utmost deve 1 opment of these in o!'Cler to make this country strong enough to live in peace -- in what he termed "a nervous world". lie mentioned the Columbia River and the Missouri Ri ver Valleys, in particular, nd s id he aeld the view that the people of these areas should have a strong voice in the plannin& and oper a tion of any project. Total control by men appointed from ashington, in the opinion of to■ ~•••1, would be dangerous. Then he called for the nation to expand its power-producing capacity by almost twenty percent during the next five years; power thu~ produced to be sold at the lowest possible self-liquidating rates. The New Xork Governor also spoke of ~Sz•••• ,(tremendous iaportance of irrig a tion and reclamation, ana urged the aevelopaent of the Columbia Kiver basin; this as part of his suggestion that the development of the West proceed with all possible speea. fQL!!JC§_~_1ROMMf In a major eec h at onham, T exas tonight Mr Truman conceded that ipartisan foreign policy has gre a tly a ded to the str en th of our efforts for peace. But, said he, "that peace can e no more secure than the foundation upon which it rests:, Qnd he added, •,tf the Republican Party will not join us in haping a firm peace £or world trade the foundation of peace will be very shaky indeed". Earlier today Mr 'l'ru11an told the people of Aust, in, Texas, th a t this Republican Congress is trying to tear up the ill of Rights. Be went on to say that as ~resident he is compelled to wage his own campaign and tell the facts, because between eighty and ninety percent of the press is lined up against bis administration. "The Republicans", said be, "are talking about home and ■ other and what a beautiful country this is. But, • he went on, "I a telling you the truth".
