Kennedy had made “a very good answer” about his Roman Catholic religion in Houston, Tex., Monday night “and I think Nixon has met the thing in a very good way.” Asked if he thought religion would be the major issue in the campaign Truman said, “They’re about to make it that, even though there are many important issues.” Truman also said on his usual morning watte that he would not want to run for the unexpired Senate term of Sen. Thomas C. Hennings Jr., D-0., who died Tuesday.

Sen. Kennedy Cheered Wildly As St. Louis ST. LOUIS (UPD—Sen. John F. Kennedy told a wildly cheering crowd of union members and Missouri Democrats today that the American people “are weary of the continual decline in our national prestige.” “I think it is time to start to move again,” he said. "I think it is time that the Democratic Party reasserted its full vigor and vitality.” The Democratic presidential candidate spoke before nearly 14,000 persons jamming Kiel Auditorium here. He addressed the convention of the AFL-CIO International Association of Machinists. Vice President Richard M. Nixon, Kennedy’s GOP rival, is scheduled to address the convention Thursday.

They clustered in front of the stage while a resounding chant of “we want Kennedy” went up. In an attack on the Eisenhower administration’s economic and social policies, Kennedy renewed his charge that the GOP is a “party which, for half a century, has opposed every single progressive measure designed to improve human welfare and reduce human i misery.

Few Surprises In Primaries Tuesday

By United Press International November candidates emerged from nine state primary elections today facing campaign trails equally as rugged and uncertain as those confronting nation al standard bearers. There were few surprises. But voters responded enthusiastically, here and there in near-record numbers, to familiar candidates and active politicking. The primaries decided congressional, gubernatorial and state candidates in Arizona, Colorado, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Utah, Vermont, Washington and Wisconsin. Massachusetts recorded a major upset, handing Springfield Mayor Thomas J. O’Connor the Democratic U.S. Senate nomination over Gov. Foster Furcolo. Humphrey Coasts In In Minnesota, Democratic Sen. Hubert Humphrey and Republican convention keynoter Rep. Walter Judd won nomination easily. Mayor P. Kenneth Peterson of Minneapolis coasted to the GOP U.S. Senate nomirxton and wil face Humphrey In November. Former Rep. Coya Knutson, of “Coya come home” fame, carried a narrow lead through the night over State Sen. Roy Wiseth for the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor 9th District nomination for Congress. Mrs. Knutson, unseated in 1958 by Republican Odin Langin, blamed her defeat on a letter allegedly written by her husband, Andy, begging her to return to Oklee and housekeeping. The contests shed little light on November chances of Republican presidenial nominee Richard M. Nixon and his Democratic opponent, John F. Kennedy. Clues to November

Vermont and Arizona contests offered a few clues to November presidential prospects. Vermont Republican Lt. Gov. Robert S. Babcock lost a close battle for the gubernatorial nomination to state House Speaker F. Ray Keyser Jr., who made a campaign issue of a reported statement by Babcock that the lieutenant governor had never been “overwhelmingly enthusiastic” about Nixon.

In Arizona, poll workers reported about a 50 per cent turnout of registered voters. Neither Gov. Paul Fannin, a Republican, nor Rep. Stewart Udall, a strong Kennedy backer and new state party leader, had primary opposition. Observers predicted a light vote might Indicate both Udall and Kennedy had lost favor with conservative Democrats in Arizona, home state of conservative GOP Sen. Barry Goldwater. In Wisconsin, Republicans outpolled Democrats, but GOP organization candidate Ivan Kindschi suffered a major upset in the race for state treasurer nomination from rebel campaigner Mrs. Dena Smith, Milwaukee. Lt. Gov. Philleo Nash, 50, a Wisconsin Rapids cranberry grower, overcame a smear campaign to beat Milwaukee attorney Jerome Grant for the second time. Democratic Gov. Gaylord Nelson and GOP gubernatorial nominee Philip G. Kuenn were easy victors.
