Stassen Urges Truman
To Halt Shipments'of
Machinery 10 Russia
By the Associoted Press

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Nov. 24-On
the eve of the formal opening of
his campaign for the Republican
presidential nomination Harold e.
Stassen said last night he had pro-
! tested to President Truman what
he called the administration "eco-
Inomic appeasement" of Russia.
Mr.. Stassen, who will launch his
campaign with a rally at Milwaukee
tonight. said he had sent a telegram
to the White House stating six rea-
sons, any Of which seems ade-
quate," for stopping shipments of
machinery to the Soviet govern
ment.
Urges Reversal of Decision.
The former Minnesota Governor
said press reports indicated Mr..
Truman saw no reason for shutting
of such shipments and that he
urged the President to reverse
your decision.
Mr.. Stassen said he complained
to the White House that the Rus
sian government has refused to
agree to worldwide atomic energy
control, has refused to join pro-
gram for the reconstruction of
Europe, has not permitted normal
flow of machinery, equipment and
materials between Eastern and
Western Europe, is leading riots and
strikes in France and Italy. has
not repudiated charge that the
United States is a nation of war;
mongers, and that no one can be
confident of the future course of
the Russian foreign policy.
Talk Will Be Broadcast.
Mr.. StaSsen said that IAN unend-
ing effort must be made to reach
sound open agreements with the
government of Russia to correct this
obstruction and change policies,
- but there will be a better
chance of success if we do not en-
gage in economic appeasement and
if there is a common sense con-
sistency in American foreign and
economic policy throughout the
world"
In opening his bid for the presi-
Dental nomination tonight, Mr..
Stassen's address to the Milwaukee
rally at 7:30 pm. will be broadcast
by 260 stations of the American
Broadcasting Co.
The speech will climax a rally
which will include a band concert
and parade in which approximate
ly 1000 of Mr.. Stassen's Minnesota
supporters are expected to take part.
