Democrats Near End
Of West Virginia Trail
Charleston, W. 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.

Stathos said: "If Nelson

he would get even a majority
of the stale's 25-vote delega
tion to the Democratic Na
tional convention. 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.

Hopes Beliered
iDiiiiforSuiiisiiil
Meeting Success
London -d'PIl- Newspapers
throughout Europe said today
the "blunder of the U. 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.

I to tne news that the United
