Young Republican Hear Wayne Morse Back Dewey

Over 500 people cheered Senator Wayne L. Morse throughout a 35-minute address last night in New Lecture Hall in which he stressed the importance of placing facts above partisanship in this coming election.

Calling the present GOP organization "the most progressive Republican party in the past 25 years," Morse went on to state that the most important issue in this election is seeing that both Congress and executive belong to the same party. "If I wore sure that we would have a Democratic Congress, I would vote for a Democratic President," Morse asserted.

He went on to expand what he termed his "liberal" views by pointing out that he has never felt obliged to follow the directions of GOD steering committees in the Senate. "But let there be no doubt that I will always back Republican candidates as long as I feel it my duty to the party."

Getting down to current issues, Morse promised that he would press the fight in the Senate on Civil Rights legislation, outlawing of present filibuster techniques, amending of Taft-Hartley labor, bill, and insuring of Congressional actin on all treaties and 'executive agreements." The Oregon Senator stated that he thought war was not imminent. "However, I do feel that the greatest danger to peace now comes from the Pacific area," he continued, "and not from the Berlin crisis."
