PORTLAND. Oreg., Sept. 90
The danger of a stalemate in
Government in washington dur
ing the crucial four years ahead
if the people should elect a Re-
publican Congress and at the
same time continue President
Roosevelt in the White House
has brought into the open as a
campaign issue by Governor
Thomas E. Dewey.
In his indispensable man
speech here last night the Repub-
lican nominee put this question to
Nationwide radio audience:
MY opponent has demonstrated
that he cannot work with the pres
ent Democratic Congress. How in
the name of the future of our coun-
try can he be expected to get along
with the Republican Congress
which will certainly be elected this
fall?"
Unruffled by Escape.
Apparently unruffled by two es-
capes from serious injury, Gov
Dewey promised to tell tomorrow's
audience at San Francisco 1.-The
philosophy by which I believe we
can achieve our two great goals for
America-freedom and security for
ALL
The Governor did not refer to the
train wreck which had delayed his
arrival in Portland for several hours
or to a narrow escape when the
automobile bringing him here
swerved to avoid a truck.
His campaign train was repaired
overnight so he could resume his
journey south today.
The crowd of 5000 in the ice arena
here last night was the most en-
thusiastic that has turned out tc
hear Gov. Dewey on this trip. II
applauded frequently, but louder
than ever when he predicted elec-
ton of Republican Congress this
fall.
Broken Treaties Recalled.
Gov. Dewey not only lashed out
at the argument Mr.. Roosevelt is
indispensable, but warned that the
peace to be sought after this war
must not hang by the slender
thread OF personal acquaintance OF
any two or three men"
THE pages of history are Uttered
with treaties proclaiming perma-
nent peace made privately by rulers
of nations and quickly and publicly
broken" he continued. This cause
is too important to be trusted to
discredited methods or to be de-
pendent upon the life span and con-
tinued friendship of two or three
individuals.
His words obviously were aimed at
the meetings from time to time be-
tween Prime Minister Churchill,
President Roosevelt and Premier
Stain, and he followed this up with
a demand for "a peoples peace"
worked out in the full light of day
before all the world"
Again, he said, The American peo-
pie know that peace will be the

CHICAGO, Sept. 20.-Navy
Secretary Forrestal said today
'it may be cheaper to remain
armed than to fight wars" and
proposed prevention of future
wars" by universal military
training, maintenance of a
strong Navy and national knowl-
edge of world problems.
At the same time he asserted in
an address before the American
Legion National Convention that
although the end of the European
war is in sight, there remains "a
man-sized job disposing of the
Japanese"
Mr.. Forrestal added that when he
spoke of "disposing of the Japanese
he meant that American forces must
mot stop until we have inflicted
crushing defeat and have occupied
Japan" He asserted that complete
surrender and occupation" of Ger
many must "go doubly for Japan,
because the menace of that ener-
getic and warlike race, history has
shown, cannot be restrained by
written agreement"

But he talked primarily of more
distant problems. and listed these
suggestions from the Navy point OF

However, both of the territorial offices feel that the people of Kodiak, through the trustees of the hospital and the city council, should have an op- portunity to express themselves, and the alternate proposal pro- vides that opportunity.
 Upon arriving at a decision that represents the feelings of the trustees, please wire either territorial office indicating the trustees desires-tbat of (a) withholding acton until the Leg lslature meets, or (b) acceptance of this alternate plan. Upon re- ceipt of your wire appropriate action will be taken by the Ter ritorial offices.

The complete text of the alter nate hospital plan follows:
 After further discussion and mature thought about the most effective manner of providing better medical and hospital care for the people of Kodiak, the off, flee of the Secretary of Alaska, acting for the Governor, and the office of the Commissioner of Health have agreed that they would withhold action on any contractural arrangements until the next session of the Alaska legislature has had an opportun- ity to change the existing laws However, realizing that legis- lative action might not be effect i've until March and that there might be an opportunity to set tie the matter to the entire sat- isfaction of all parties, concern ed, including the Legislature, the Secretary and the Commissioner wish to offer the following alter nate proposal:
 That blank contracts. con- taining the provisions and ob- legations felt by the Territorial Officers to be essential, be pre- sented to any order or agency who might desIre, or who has ex- pressed a willingness to enter in- to a contract to provide medical care and disqualification; that these contracts properly signed by the orders or agencies be re- turned within 10 days of their receipt to the Office of the Gov ernor or the Commissioner of Health, together with any ad- ditional offers or benefits; that they be studied by these offices and an opinion formed as to which promises the best services for Kodiak; that copies of both or all contracts be sent to the trustees of the hospital, upon study of which the trustees are to indicate by wire their prefer ence, if any; and that finally, 1t | be mutually agreed that the pre-
 vaillng two of the three opinions
 as to the most desirable contract {, Will be acceptable to all agencies l or offices coneerned.'
