Other presidential hopefuls
rallied today behind the ef-
fort Of Senator Kennedy of
Massachusetts, to erase the
religious issue from the political
campaign.
But despite their feeling
that where a man goes to
church should have nothing to
do with his fitness for the
presidency, there remained
evidence that an undetermined
number Of voters will continue
to consider it pertinent.
Senator Kennedy, in fact,
may have hardened the issue
instead of eliminating it-by
his vigorously worded speech
yesterday to the American
Society Of Newspaper Editors.
While he discounted any
likelihood of Catholic bolt in
November if he is denied the
presidential nomination, Sena-
tor Kennedy made it difficult
for the Democrats to compro-
mise in any way with him.
Senator Kennedy termed
"highly distasteful" any sug-
gestion that he withdraw to
avoid controversy and then ac-
cept the vice presidential nom
ination ito placate the So
called Catholic vote" Such a
suggestion. he added, assumes
that Catholics are a pawn on
the political chessboard, moved
hither and yon. p. :"
Key Test on May 10
Senator Kennedy went be-
yond his prepared text to praise
the vice presidential Office,
which he has said he does not
want. But he said he is uniln-
pressed by pleas that I settle
for the vice presidency in order
to avert a religious spectacle !"
Senator Kennedy's best
chance of proving his Catholic
ism won't be held against him

said. II want to reiterate my
very firm position on this"
Senate Democratic Leader
johnson told a news conference
following a Houston CTexD
speech last night he hoped
Senator Kennedy's religion
would not hinder his chances
of obtaining the nomination.
And I would add region to
that" Senator johnson said.
Il would hope no one would
vote against me because of my
religion or my region"
DepIOred by Rockefeller
Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller of
New York, who publicly with
drew from the presidential
sweepstakes last December, said
IAN individuals religion does
not belong in a political cam
paign."
Il strongly believe that in a
political campaign a man
should be judged for himself
on the basis of his integrity,
his ability and his record and
not because of his religion, "
the Republican Governor said.
Adlai Stevenson, the unsuc-
cessful Democratic presidential
candidate in 1852 and 1856,
could not be Immediately
reached for comment on Sena-
tor Kennedy'S speech.
Upon his return from South
America on April IL, however,
Mr.. Stevenson said he deplored
injection of religion into the
race between Senator Kennedy
and Humphrey.
There are issues too grave
for the voters to be distracted
by what church the candidate
prays in" Mr.. Stevenson had
said.
No Query on Quakers
An aide said Senator Morse
of Oregon, who is entered in
some Democratic presidential
primaries, stands on his recent
comment that mo one should
insist that because he is a Cath
olic he should be elected. Nor
should anyone insist that be-
cause someone is a Catholic he
should not be elected"
Meanwhile, Albert Levitt of
Hancock, N. H, a retired Fed
eral judge and candidate for
the Republican senatorial nom-
ination in New Hampshire,

Approves Letter To Mike;
Regrets Murray
Backing Bonner

Dear Mi. Billings:
| have read with approval, your open
letter to Senator Mansfield that you
printed in your editorial of May goth
Con the w affair.". I think that you
voiced the opinions of several millions
of people in your very intelligent re-
quest ito the Senator, and he would do
well to give you an answer that has
some meat in 1T, instead of most of his
fence straddlng propaganda.
A lot of us would like to know what
has become of the fighting spirit of
the leaders of the American people.
Are they mice or men? Are they a lot
lof wishy- washy politicians whose only
thought is of the amount of money
that they can make, honestly or other
wise? Are they really working for the
good of all the American people, or
just for the big corporations who get
most of this money that is being spent
on this Space program?
When Khrushchev made his personal
attack on our President and on the
American way of life. he insulted our
President, and all of the rest of us.
We have had men to represent us who
would not have taken these insults
from this impudent Russian, but would
have taken him by his fat neck, and
slowly twisted his neck around till his
head fell on the floor. That is some
thing that the Russians would have
understood, and probably have APP
proved of. 1t would have saved them
the trouble of doing 1t later on. Our
actions in this matter of turning the
other cheek has Inundated our allies
1 agree with Wilma Mayer of Fair
field, in regretting the endorsement
of John Bonner for u. s. Senator, by
Senator Murray. That came as a shock
to a lot of Democrats in Montana, and
