students and towns people gave a
warm welcome Tuesday night to

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
