for a cease-fire, both govern
ments ordered their troops to
halt offensive operations and
hold positions taken in fighting
that broke out last Wednesday.
With communications dis
rupted and some units isolated,
the ceaSe-fire orders were slow
in filtering down, and a few
bursts of gunfire punctuated
the pre-dawn darkness.
Neither side gave any indica-
ton it would comply with a
security council request that all
troops be withdrawn to posi-
tionS held before the French
broke out of a Tunisian block
ade around their huge Bizerte
military base and fought into
the city three miles away.
French Hold Position
Thus, the French held their
main objective-ground protect
ing the bases lines of COM
munications. For the Tunisians,
the order represented at least a
temporary setback for their
hopes Of ejecting all French
from the area.
Travellers returning from BIZ
Zerte said some troops on both
sides were disappointed in the
cease-fire.
Some French officers felt
they had been deprived of a.
military victory because of po-
litical maneuverings. Som e
Tunisians said the French
should have been ouSted from
Tunisian soil together.
Hours after the cease-fire
order. the exodus Of wounded
and homeless from Bizerte
continued. The Tunisian radio

Castro Limits AirIift
To Two Flights a Day

MIAMI, Fla, July % (AP).-
The Cuban government today
ordered limitation on round
trip flights between Havana
and Miami to two a day.
The order threw a monkey
wrench into the State Depart
ment's program to bring 10000
Cuban refugees to this country
in three weeks.
The Havana order came
through to Pan American
World Airways as its second
plane, chartered by the State
Department, was flying to
Havana.
The empty plane, with a ca
pacity of more than 100 pas
Sengers, was told by radio to
return to Miami without land
ng at Rancho BoyeroS Airport
in Havana.
No Explanation Offered
The State Department had
announced only yesterday it
would finance 10 trips daily OF
CubanS desiring to leave the
land of Fidel Castro for refuge
in the United States. Under the
plan, this country would have
been able to bring in 1880
Cubans daily.
The State Department said
there are many Cubans who
want to leave their homeland
but are unable to do so for lack
of transportation.
Pan American has been run
ming one-round trip daily. Of
ten a second-round trip is char
tered by the Government or by

Capitol Hill Unit
Upho4ds ByluW

The Capitol Hill Restoration
Society last night defeated a
resolution calling for the re-
peal Of one of its bylaws con-
cerning recognition of zoning
variance requests.
BY q 3-to-1 margin, the
group decided to retain a rule
that the society will oppose
any variance not previously
submitted to the organization
by personal appearance or by
letter"
During q heated discussion
before the vote was taken, the
groups president, John Wal
lace, outlined the organiza-
tons four-feld purpose: To
encourage restoration in the
Capitol Hill area; preserve the
Vicinity's historic landmarks;
educate inhabitants in restora-
ton practices, and enhance
property values.
The resolution to remove the
bylaw was made by Edward
Brylawski. an attorney who is
involved in many Capitol Hill
properties. His action stemmed
from a request he made earlier
asking for the society's support
of a variance which would per-
NIT an antique shop in the 400
block Of East Capital street
NE. At the Restoration So
ciety's last meeting the matter
was tabled, leaving Mr.. Bry-
lawski without the support he
felt vital to obtain the variance
from the District zoning Board.

planned that, according to the

a house which was bought for
$4,000 - such as President
Kennedy's-means that other
property in the area must be
revalued.
However, Mr.. Lahde denied
charges brough by some mem

speculation in Georgetown has
