With 1,296 of the 2,750 polls re- porting, Kennedy had 104,801 votes and Humphrey 69,288. The Kennedy victory wasn't en- tirely unexpected, but the size of it certainly was. A few observers had thought that Kennedy might take a beat- ing here. But usually the guess was that it would be close, with the edge, if any, going to Hum- phrey, a Congregationalist Prot- estant. But with 54 of West Virginia's 55, counties showing reports, Ken- nedy was ahead in 45 and Hum- phrey leading only in nine.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Presi- dent Eisenhower said today there is some reason to believe the American spy plane which flew into the Soviet Union was not shot down at high altitude as the Russians claim, The president also told a press conference it is absolutely ridicul- ous for the Russians to contend that the United States or any of its allies is engaged in provoca- tive action in the use of espionage planes. Eisenhower said he still is hopeful that the Paris summit meeting starting Monday will ac- complish some good and help ease international tensions. Eisenhower read a prepared statement dealing with the Amer- ican U-2 plane which the Russians claim to have shot down from an altitude in excess of 60,000 feet. SOME DISCREPANCIES The president said there were discrepancies in the Soviet ac- count of shooting down the plane and capturing the pilot, Francis G. Powers. There is '"'some reason to be- lieve that the plane was not shot down at high altitude," he said. Asked to elaborate, Eisenhower referred fo photographs which the Russians said showed the in the 'interests of American wreckage of the plane, The U.S. government believes, | Ike Disbelieves Russian Story he said, that the pictures are not photographs of the U-2 aircraft. After reading his prepared statement, Eisenhower said he would have nothing further to say regarding the plane episode but he answered about a dozen ques- tions connected with the episode. For example, he was reminded that he has said many times he would not go to a summit confer- ence under a Soviet threat or ulti- matum. A reporter noted that the Soviet government Tuesday threatened to retaliate against the United States if it continued to send spy planes over Russia. ' Asked whether he regarded that as a threat in the category he had mentioned, Eisenhower replied that he did not. NEEDS INFORMATION In his prepared statement, the president said no one wants an- other Pearl Harbgr. The U.S. needs information to protect its security. ? The Soviets make a "fetish of secrecy and concealment" and this is a major cause of interna- tional tension. Espionage activities are distate- ful but vital to the safety of nations conducting them.
