Oregon Sivil By United Preit International Gov. Mark Hatfield had Oregon's civil defense person nel on the alert today as Ore . gon political leaders offered President Kennedy praise and support for his stand on Cuba. Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) also offered a technical dis tinction between "quaran tine," as announced by Ken nedy. and "blockade." The veteran member of the Senate's Foreign Affairs Com mittee said Kennedy's quaran tine was softer than a block ade, since it applied only to military shipments.

Kennedy had publicly pledged himself not to depart from the path "full of hazards" he laid out for the nation Monday night.

Sen. Maurine Neuberger (D-Ore.) said Kennedy did the right thing. She added she would not be surprised if he called Congress back into ses sion following the November election. Rep. Al Ullman (D-Ore.) said the President acted "with courage, decisiveness and in telligence ... in full accord with the intent of the Cuban resolution which Congress re cently passed." and particularly against "the brave people of West Berlin would be met by whatever ac tion was needed. High offi cials said U.S. military reac tion against any Berlin block ade would be swift. The disclosure of Soviet !, 000 and 2,000-mile missiles in Cuba and Kennedy's swift counter move blasted hopes which had sprung up recent ly for another round of East- West negotiations to avert a flaming cold war crisis. High U.S. officials said Ken nedy still was leaving the door open for possible nego tiations with Khrushchev on Cuba and Berlin.

Kennedy pointed out in his address, however, that "it is difficult to settle or even dis cuss these problems in an at mosphere of intimidation. Initial response from Al lied Nations was heartening to U.S. officials. They felt there was a disposition to close ranks behind the United States, despite some obvious misgivings over the Kennedy course.
