Estes Kefauver, aspirant for democrat ic presidential nomination, before approximately 1500 students in the Union ballroom Monday night. Pointing to the spirit of the peo ple as the. factor that makes the U. S. great, he said that we must let the people of the world know that we stand for liberty and freedom of assembly, worship, and speech. If we are to win the peace we must convince the world that where Communism offers bread, we offer, not only bread, but freedom and opportunity. He refered to the point four techni cal aid program and the ex change student program as ac complishing more for world peace for less money. that he is definitely in favor of civil rights legislation. He pointed out that he has worked for repeal of the poll tax by federal legislation,, home rule for the District of Columbia, and federal aid for education. He favored voluntary fair em ployment practices but added that involuntary measures would be necessary in case em ployers refused to cooperate. of the loopholes in the task struc ture. He declared himself for the DMT bill which was defeated and said that such measures were needed as long as the na tion was in peril. Cooperation with the countries of the North Atlantic is imperi tive, he said, and unification of Western Europe would be a great step in that direction.

General Eisenhower headed Primary Nebraska Primary Significant-Kef auver By FAT BALL Staff Writer "I think the Nebraska primary is very significant more today man yesterday," sen. Estes Kefau ver said at a press conference. "The amount of money being pent by Senator Kerr on this campaign," the senator con tinued, "is amazing. It is more than anything I have ever seen before. I'm not able to compete on such a basis, but I feel the people of Nebraska have given me fair hearing, and I would say I have a very good chance of winning the primary on Tues day." Senator Kefauver referred to a Kerr campaign advertisement which, he said, inferred that he had Communistic leanings. "I am opposed to Communism in or out of the government. I did fight against the Nixon bill. I took the administration's point of view on thatk - "I have always found that J. Edgar Hoover has the best opinion as to what kind of legislation will . best protect our country against , Communism. I followed his judg ment." Kefauver said that through his 13 years in the House and Senate he has worked to the benefit of the average American citizen.
