New York Times Service, United Prej bi hf I 1. Gaulle Ike, 'q Religion In West ami, call's Strong Factor Virginia Primary In A greemeni liy JOHN WICKLEIN It Ntw York Timet Newt lervice Charleston, W. April 24. An Epispopal bishop and a creek-baptizing preacher agreed here last week for different reasons that lhry would rather not vote for a Roman Catholic for president. They and others interviewed in a week-long survey that extended from Wheeling in the northern panhandle to Keystone, a mining camp on the Kentucky border, gave evidence that religion was a strong factor in the West Virginia primary.

Humphrey Is ('ongrcgutionalist The "issue," as most people see it in a stale that is fl( per cent Protestant, is the Catholicism of Senator John Kennedy of Senator Hubert If. Humphrey of Minnesota, his opponent in the Democratic preference vote, is a Congrcgationalist. Both men have deplored the injection of religious discussion into the political campaign. So have clergyman, editors, other politicans, and voters. But they agree that the issue will affect the May 10 balloting.

"Obviously, religion is a factor here, and obviously it is going to cost my brother voters," Robert F. Kennedy said. The 34-year-old former chief counsel of the Senate Rackets Committee was setting up the Kennedy-for-president headquarters at a hotel here in the capital. The problem, he said, is biggest in the southern part of the state, the overwhelmingly Protestant area below the Kanawha River, adding: "And 60 per cent of the Democratic vote is south of the Kanawha."

But the people in the Mountain mining region south of the Kanawha were not so outspokenly opposed to Catholicism and Kennedy as newspapers and politicians seemed to think. Most of the miners said they had not yet made up their minds. 31 Undecided la 61 interviews throughout the state with Protestants who were registered Democrats, 17 said they would vote for Humphrey, 13 for Kennedy, and 31 were undecided.

Of those who said they would vote for Humphrey, only one a miner who liked his stand on labor cited a factor other than religion as decisive. The 17 others said they weren't voting for Humphrey, but against Kennedy because of qualms they had about Catholicism. Yet nearly all of them praised the Massachusetts senator's intelligence and ability. I'ears Impressed More Protestant ministers than laymen expressed fears about pressures from the Catholic Church. One clergyman who said he was worried about this was the Most Rev.

Even before the second Eisenhower -de Gaulle meeting began Sunday, top aides reported the two leaders had already agreed in their basic outlook for the long-awaited summit parley, to start in Paris May 16. Eisenhower and his guest reviewed the world's problems on the sun porch of Eisenhower's mountain lodge in the Catoctin Mountains of Maryland 85 miles from the capital. In the rustic quiet they leisurely surveyed prospects for East-West agreement.

Only their interpreters were on hand.

Rhee's statement had failed a proposal of some of his senior advisers last week that he relinquish the powers he has held for nearly 12 years to a prime minister. Rhee was elected to his fourth term unopposed through Chang resigned from the vice presidency last week, following mass student uprisings in Seoul in which at least 108 persons were killed. Lee had said he would renounce the nation's second-highest office, which he was to have assumed August 15.

One solution being proposed was alteration of the governmental system U) provide for the installation of a prime minister and abolition of the vice-presidency. This would make it unnecessary to hold new elections.
