Religious Issue Is Plaguing Democrats WASHINGTON rUPI)—The religious issue which Sen. John F. Kennedy "buried in the hills of West Virginia” stilt plagued the Democrats today in their campaign to elect him to the White House. While leaders of both parties deplore recognition of Kennedy’s Catholic faith as a campaign issue, most of them agree with President Eisenhower’s news conference comment Wednesday that it will be an issue anyway in some areas. The issue is a source of worry to Democrats, particularly in i heavily Protestant Southern and : border states and in sfbme. of the rural areas of the Midwest. Yet it was only three months ago that Kennedy said the issue had been buried in West Virginia, where he crushed Sen. Hubert h" Humphrey of Minnesota in a presidential primary. Kennedy’s campaign organization announced Wednesday that it was setting up a special section in its headquarters "to deal broadly with the religious problem.” Pierre Salinger, Kennedy’s press secretary, said the office would clear up questions asked by voters with written answers on how Kennedy feels about government aid to parochial schools and a U.S. ambassador to the Vatican. Kennedy is opposed to both proposals. Salinger denied that the new move reflected increased worry over the religious issue. Kennedy repeatedly tried to meet the religious directly last spring iA a serlW'*W speeches. He said the oath of office would forbid letting his religion influence his conduct as president and that he would be subject to impeachment if he allowed it to do so. Eisenhower, answering a news conference question Wednesday, said he did not think religion could ever be a legitimate campaign issue. But he added he was not so naive that he did recognize that it would be an issue “in some areas.’’ “It is just almost certain,” he said, “because as long as you have got strong emotional convictions and reactions in these areas, there is going to be some of it. You can’t help it.”

Million Tourists A Year At White House By FRANK ELEAZER United Press International WASHINGTON (UPD—The real dirt to be found backstairs at the i White House these days is that tracked in five days a week by nearly one million tourists a year, many of whom apparently don’t know where they are. “Point out the dome to me,” they now and again ask guards long since inured to the fact some Americans don’t know the White House from the Capitol. At the other end. of Pennsylvania Avenue meantime other tourists are forever asking Capitol guides, “Where does the President live?” The red carpets are being rolled I up, not out, for the daily tourist influx at the White House. It’s not that Ike and Mamie aren’t hospitable. It’s just that these rugs cost us taxpayers many thousands of dollars and they wouldn't last any time with as many as 10.000 or 12.000 people tramping across them daily Tuesday through Saturday. The record breaker was April 16, 1957, when 13,083 men, women and children gawked and shoved their way through public rooms of the White House between 10 a.m. and 12 noon, the period in which the house is open every day but Sunday, Monday, and some holidays. The Easter season always is busy here. August-is not much of a tourist month but even so the morning lines around the south lawn of the White House currently total 7,000 to 8,000 persons or more. And the way things are going 1960 may set a new record for White House attendance. Trhough July the total was' 644.554, about 4,000 more than at the same time last year. The total for 1959 wAs 961.564, just under the 1957 total of 964,544. Souvenir hunting is no problem at all, White House officials report. Possibly this is because the smallest object not nailed down and available to groping hands en route through east, green, blue, red and state dining room is a full-size grandfather clock that would be hard to conceal even by one fully clothed. Not even an ash tray is in sight, let alone any of the precious presidential china or silver. That may be whj’ some visitors find the tour slightly fruitless.-For another thing, there is nobody to explain what is what. The guards are police, not guides. They volunteer nothing. They do answer questions. One told me how Margaret Truman's piano pretty near crashed through the east room ceiling before the old place was rebuilt.

Asks Aid Against Congolese Troops

LEOPOLDVILLE. The Congo fUPI) — Baluba tribal leader Albert Kalonji appealed today to Katnga President Moise Tshombe for military aid to fight off Congolese troops now sweeping rapidly through his so-called “Mining State” in a move that threatened civil war. ’ ■ *♦ .- J ■ -I* . j The Congolese troops were part of forces being massed by central government Premier Patrice Lumumba for action against secessionists in Katanga and Kasai provinces. - Tshombe replied to Kalonji that he would supply arms but was -holding his own troops in the Katanga to defend the mineralrich area against the attack which he felt could be expected when the Congolese forces have crushed the “Mining State.” The latter is a diamond-rich area in southertf Kasai Province adjacent to Katanga which Kalonji established as a refuge for his Baluba tribesmen and declared independent of the Congo republic two weeks ago. The Congolese troops—on orders from Lumumba—were airlifted to Luluabourg, the capital of the Kasai Province, on Tuesday and Wednesday aboard requisitioned Belgian Sabena airliners. Kalonji was believed to have no more than 450 troops and police to oppose Lumumba's well-armed troopers, who probably could count ors th? suppffrt of fierce Lulua tribesmen inteht on exterminating the Baluba natives who have been fleeing into Kalonji’s territory. Warfare beteen the Luluas and the Balubas has been raging for at least 18 months. Three hundred persons have been reported killed in the savage tribal fighting in the past two days alone. Conquest of Kasai would put Lumumba’s troops on the border’s of “independent” Katanga, which is likely to prove a much tougher foe. Katanga President Moise Tshombejs Belgian-officered -army I haS mined roads and railway bridges on routes leading from Kasai into Katanga, and is prepared to blow them up at the first sign of an invasion attempt. Tshombe is recruiting tribesmen to reinforce his army. One hundred Belgian gendarmes flew in recently to help train the hundreds of natives who have responded to Tshombe's call. Squads of soldiers are standing guard at airfields throughout Katanga, ready to block the runways with trucks and bulldozers if there should be any indication that Lumumba’s men might attempt an airborne landing.

More than 3,000 firefighters secured lines around all but three miles of the 75-mile perimeter of the Donner Ridge blaze Wednesday an« expected to have it fully contained today.

Forest Service supervisor at Custer, S. D., said he hoped the Black Hills blaze would be stopped today when it ran into a fixe line burned out around jt.
