Pointing to the spirit of the peo

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

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.
"I recognized the important
place of capital and management,"
he said, "but I have fought the
