again: want no votes solely on
account of my religion. Any
voter, Catholic or otherwise,
who feels another candidate
would be a superior President
should support that candidate.
I do not want any vote cast for
me for such illogical and ir-
relevant reasons"
Southern Opposition
Most of the opposition to
Senator Kennedy. on religious
grounds, appeared to be coming
from Southern States.
Former Gov. James E. Fol-
som of Alabama issued a state
ment saying, Let's face the
facts. The paramount issue Of
segregation and lntegratlon OF
church and state"
DR.. L A. Mosely, an Ala
bama delegate, said he received
a telegram which said, "If you
vote for Kennedy you can come
back to Uniontown (his home)
but onlv long enough to pack
your bags" )
A California political leader
said that States delegation has
been under heavy pressure"
not to support Senator Ken
nedy, because of his religion.
He reported this yesterday
prior to the California caucus,
which gave Senator Kennedy
considerably fewer delegate
votes than his lieutenant had
been claiming.
The three Baptist clergymen
with the petition are DR.. Henry
H. Springer Of Denver, DR.. Ray
Tatum of Lubbock, Tex, and
DR.. George Norris of Fort

Some time ago, the Democra-
tic National Committee turned
the two homes over to the staffs
of Senator Kennedy and SEN
ator johnson.
When the Symington people
heard about it. they protested
and were awarded two long
house trailers they rolled up
near the two homes. When the
Stevenson people heard about
that they rolled up four trailers
and parked them as if expect
ing an Indian attack.
Aides of the four candidates
assigned to the outposts yester-
day, far from the cry Of the
city, were not too sure of the
purpose or the quarters. BY to-
night, they should know. Pre-
Sumably, a candidate can con-
troll things on the floor while
he makes himself at home.
BY a drawing of straws, Sen
ator Kennedy won the house
with a swimming pool. One of
his workers showed a visitor
around yesterday. He was OBJ

Several speakers have alluded
lpublicly to Senator Kennedy's
religion.
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, who
favors Adlai E. Stevenson for
the nomination, told a news
conference that although the
religious issue has played no
important part in the political
picture so far, she did not know
whether this would still be the
case going into November, the

But Senator johnson also
said:

In a speech before the Amer

NEW YORK, June 13 (AP).
"A big Royal Air Force plane,
loaded with families of British
military and diplomatic per-
sonnel, returned safely today
after developing engine trouble
over the Atlantic.
1t had been en- route to
Lyneham, England, near Lon

cluding an eight-man crew.
A spokesman at Mitchell
Field on Long Island said the

turbojet left there about 430

about five hours later because
of fuel difficulties.
The pilot elected to turn
around purely as a precaution-
airy measure" the spokesman
said.
The plane was about $50 to
700 miles out, of Nova Scotia,
when the trouble arose, de-
scribed by the Coast Guard as
fuel leak"
The plane was part of a six
plane British airlift" that has
been operating between Great
Britain and the United States

18 months ago. He previously
had been here, however, as an
Army general.
Referring to his boyhood,
Mr.. Eisenhower commented
Alaska, to all of us, at least in
Kansas, represented the glamor
Of gold and the Yukon and the
Klondike."
He said he had an uncle who
joined the gold rush in the
early days of the old territory

the bill ban on use of special
assistance funds for construc-
ton of any buildings, structures

mended programs to give eco

dence of excessively high

Boston University for training

work on special assistance pro-

7. Referring to the Atoms
for Peace program for which it
allotted SIS million instead of
a requested S3.4 million, the
committee declared it was
shocked to discover that this
program is financing scholar
ships to students from Iron
Curtain countries to come to
the United States for study
purposes.

fund, the committee COM
planned that "the fund has
been used in a number of in

Congress in authorizing spe-
cific amounts"

that despite the claims of pro-

lister Nobusuke Kishi, were re-
ported now undecided what
course to follow during Mr..
Eisenhower's visit. 1t was con-
sidered possible that they might
want to wash their hands in
advance of any violence that
might mark his stay.
Socialist Chairman Inejiro
Asanuma is very worried" a
nigh Japanese political source
said. THE Communist Party
has recently changed its tactics
and is advocating violence. We
are not sure what they plan"
1t is the Socialists, the Sohyo
Labor Federation, and the Zen
gakuren Student Federation
with the obvious support OF
the Communists-who are be-
hind the massive anti-Eisen-
hover demonstrations. The
Socialists, however, say their
target is really Mr.. Kishi and
the security treaty, not the
President personally.
U. S. Bases Opposed
The leftists say the treaty
will make Japan liable to attack
since it permits the United
States to maintain military
bases. They want Japan to
steer a so-called neutral course
in foreign affairs.
A spokesman for the Com
munist wing of the student
group said:
"We may slow down the
Presidents car but we we will
not stop it. Students will line
the streets around the airport
and perhaps even go up to the
terminal. but we won't lie down
on the runway or in front Of
his automobile" ="
The outlook for the Eisen-
hover visit was frightened
somewhat with the decision by
the Democratic Socialist Party
to join the government in well
coming the United States Presi-
dent to japan.
Suehiro NiShio, leader of the
Democratic Socialists, met with
Prime Minister Kishi to dis
cuss a political truce during
the visit. Mr.. Asanuma was in
vited also but failed to show up.
Mr.. Nishio promised Mr..
Kishi he would try to persuade
the Socialists to join in the
truce also.

the Toyko Metropolitan Police
board. readily acknowledged
the handicaps his lnen would
have in coping with Commu-

He said mass preventive ar

Mr.. Hagerty added there had
