Stassen support reiterated
New York (UP) –
Senator Joseph H. Ball (R-MN) reiterated his support of LtCdr. Harold E. Stassen for the 1944 Republican presidential nomination last night and asserted that President Roosevelt and Congress “are not longer working as a team to solve the serious problems facing our country.”
Before the New York Young Republican Club, Senator Ball criticized the asserted lack of teamwork and said:
There is controversy, and often deadlock, on almost every major issue outside the actual prosecution of the war, on which there is unity.
Mr. Ball also criticized the administration for “the present jungle of overlapping bureaus and agencies.”
He said:
I have been on the Truman Investigating Committee for three years and it is a continual miracle to mw how American industry and labor continue to produce the huge volume of war materiel they are producing in the face of bureaucratic red tape and confusing and contradictory regulations emanating from Washington.
Urging the nation to ace speedily in “working out a just peace and the machinery to maintain it,” Senator Ball said:
Let our Republican Party and our nominee for President stand unequivocally for an international organization with the authority and the power to shape the peace now and to maintain it in the future.
