5tassen Urges COP
To Back Roosevelt
In War Measures
He Coils Quick Victory
More important Than
Winning IA Election
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ST. PAUL, Nov. Gov. Harold E..
Stassen of Minnesota, mentioned
prominently as a presidential pos
sibility in 1914, tonight reminded his
fellow Republicans in Nation-w
broadcast over NBC that "it is tre-
mendously more important that the
war be won decisively and speedily
than it is that our Republican party
win in 1944.''
The Minnesota Governor, elected
to this third term Tuesday. is chair
man of the National Council Of State
Governments. In his address, he
pointed to gains made by Republi-
cans in Tuesdays election and then
admonished party members not to
boast of their gains but to join with
others in unrelenting prosecution OF
the war.
The 35-year-old executive said that
mistakes of the national admlnlstra-
ton must be exposed but mot on
the basis of making political capital
out of them, but rather on the basis
that will best contribute to the cor
rection of the mistakes for the sake
of the country
I'VE must support as a united
people the duly elected Commander
in Chief through these critical days.
Gov. Stassen emphasized.
Cos. Stassen outlined contribu-
tions the Republican party can make
to the effective prosecution OF the
war.
He said he believed the people
should receive a more frank and
full report of the facts of the war
and that "the only way to have a
free people fight total war with
full effectiveness, is to keep them
thoroughly informed"
I'VE recognize, of course, the CEN
sorship of news that would be OF
value to the enemy is essential. But
it is important that the censorship
should not be used to keep from the
people mistakes or failures or defeats
10 protect the administration from
the people, rather than information
from the enemy
The young Governor voiced belief
that the second point of major con-
tribution might we'll be the improve
ment of the effective management
of the Government in the war"
I'VE must have clear cut lines of
command, definite delinerations of
authority, and singleness of execu-
tive direction" he said. There are
basic principles in administration.
One of the most important is that
to get job done, put one man in
charge of it, give him authority and
responsibility and back him up
Recommendation was made by
Gov. Stassen that the entire man.
power problem be placed under ad-
ministration of single head and
that the manpower director should
have authority not only over man
power itself, but over the closely
related phases of defense housing,
day care to children, worker train
ing and the transportation of work.
Iers to new jobs.
Gov. Stassen paid high tribute to
