Va.-OiPt-Two presidential hopefuls sprinted toward the finish of a crucial contest today with Sen. John F. Kennedy facing a supreme effort to bury the religious issue and Sen. Hu bert H. Humphrey depicting himself the candidate of the common folks. On the eve of West Vlrgl ilia's Democratic presidential primary, neither candidate was confident enough to re lax. Both were starting soon after dawn on a strenupus schedule of vote hunting. Humphrey, the 48-year-old Minnesota senator, appeared to be a slight favorite over his 42-year-old rival from Massa chusetts, although most ob servers were hedging their bets.

Don Stathos, secretary of the committee, gave the news to delegates at the State Young Republicans conven tion Saturday. Stathos said: "If Nelson Rockefeller received petitions from independents, Republi cans and Democrats as an in dication that they approve of him as a vice presidential can didate, then It is hard to con ceive how the governor can resist."

It was known that some state Demo cratic leaders who favor Sen ate Democratic Leader Lyn don B. Johnson had told him that he would get about 15 of the 25 votes for the presi dential nomination. Kennedy, the front-running Democratic contender and victor over Humpl.i.y in the Wisconsin primary last month, went all the way Sun day night in an ttempt to erase the religious issue out of the campaign. In a television appearance he answered a question as old as the republic - would the election of a president who is a Catholic put the Pope in the White House? Kennedy asserted bluntly that a president who took or ders from the Pope would be guilty of a crime against the United States and against God and should be impeached.

S. spy plane" had dimmed hopes for East-West agreement at this month's summit conference. No official comment was forthcoming immediately. Communists around the world used the plane story as a takeoff fo- anti-American propaganda blasts. Hadio Mos cow accused the United States of telling "a deliberate and clumsy lie' about the plane, and Red China's propaganda radio denounced the U. S. ex planation as "gangster logic." '"Faced with inescapable re sponsibility for tiie crime of aggression, the U. S. Slate Department had the impu dence to claim that 'given the stale of the world today, in telligence collection activi ties are practiced by all coun tries'," a Peiping broadcast said. London Paper. Bitter The Communist radio said authorities in two Asian satel lite slates, North Korea and North Viet Nam, joined Red China in its denunciation of the United States. London newspapers were second only to the Commu nists in the bitterness of their comments on the incident. "The Americans have made fools of themselves," said the liberal News Chronicle, while the conservative Times said the incident "handed Mr. (So viet Premier Nikita) Khrush chev his propaganda triumph on a plate." The conservative Daily Telegraph called the U2 flight an "unforgiveable blunder," and the conservative tabloid Daily Sketch expressed thanks that Khrushchev did not make it "an occasion to press war like buttons in retaliation." Both Nations Spying "Both America and Russia have been playing this game," said the conservative Daily Mail. "Khrushchev , is better at it. lie can make rings around the honest, likeable but slower-willed soldier in the White House." in Germany, the Frankfurt Neuo Presse said the shooting down of the plane "will in tensify tension between East and West considerably," and Die Welt of Hamburg called the Incident "distressing." French newspapers ques tioned the Soviet account of the incident, asking whether pilot Francis Powers might have been a double agent who handed the plane over to the Russians voluntarily. Tiie newspaper Paris Jour noted it was unlikely that the films the Russians say they took from the plane would have survived the explosion of an antiaircraft rocket and the subsequent crash. Newspapers in West Berlin expressed similar doubts about the Soviet story.

Admission Moscow -0.TD- The Russians probably will react violently I to tne news that the United Males has admitted the plane shot down over Russia last week probably was gathering information, observers here said today.
