Estes Kefauver and Adlai Stevenson as they met here on a common platform. It was an abbreviated and friendly meeting of thc two men who seek Oregon's 16 Democratic convention delegates in a write-in feature of Friday's primary elec tion. Morse introduced the two men on the campus of the University of Oregon, where he once was law school dean. Draws Cheers He drew cheers as he stepped onto the platform. Four times Kefauver was interrupted by ap plause as he lauded Morse and this was quickly matched by ap - plause for similar comments from Stevenson. Stevenson and Kefauver covered much ot the same ground in their talks. "One of the next president's first i tasks will be to recapture for j America the respect of other j nations. We must use the methods j of peace in dealing with other nations and not depend on military alone or on threats," said Kefau ver. Losing Good Will . Stevenson accused the Republi cans of "squandering a great part of the national good will built up Democrats" and added, "we must toward contlnulnK con never forget that our real goal is trol program in 1957 by proclaim not to build a military alliance ing federal marketing quotas on but to remove the necessity for it. 1 ne wheat crop We must find a workable basis , Wh , ' hfch have bfen for universal disarmament. ; . ff ... ,h Campaign sponsors had said in advance it would be no debate, asserting the two were in funda- mental agreement, differing only in the words, explaining their Deschutes I).

But he will fly back to Oregon immediately, Kefauver told thc At-. sociatcd Press in Eugene, in order to make his scheduled Salem and other Marion County Visits ea Thursday instead of today.

Respond Quickly Sen. Kefauver and Sen. Wayne Morse, coin oi wnom were in Eu gene Tuesday, responded quickly to a summons from Sen. Herbert Lehman (D-NY) to get back to the national Capitol m time for Wednesday's vote on the Niagara River power bill. The handshaking Tennessee senator made the power issue a point of his campaign speeches la Oregon Tuesday, and underlined it with his announcement of rush ing East to support the Demo cratic vote on the Niagara bill. He said he and Morse would "try to prevent another give away of the power from a great natural resource or the nation this time the power from the fall- in e waters of the Niaeara River."

When he announced his rush , trip to the Capitol to vote on Nia- gara power, Kefauver related it to Hell s Canyon power. He said: "You here in Oregon, having fought so hard for so long to try to 'etain for all the people the benefits of that great site Hells Canyon -- appreciate why Sen. Morse and I must be nowhere but on the Senate floor tomorrow. "In the case of Hells Canyon you are now fighting in court to prut'-rt this site from being lost to the power monopoly a gift planned by Douglas McKay and lwii;hl. fcenhower.
