find manipulating files with spaces

[Dave]

Hello,
I've got a rhel box that has a bunch of files restored from a tar
archive created on another type of Unix machine. The permissions are
completely wrong. I need to change them, owner, and group of both files and
directories. I usually do this with a combination of find and xargs as in:

find . -type f |xargs chmod 755

this usually works, this time i keep getting files not found error msgs. I
check for them with ls and they are there, the problem is the files either
have spaces in their names or colons or some other special character. How
would i get around this?
Thanks.
Dave.
