Kennedy's 311,721-vote lead in
Detroit more than made up
for his losses elsewhere in the
State.
Mr.. Bliss and his commit
tee will probe such mysteries
as why Mr.. Nixon drew only
II per cent of the registered
Republican vote in Philadel-
phia, while Mr.. Kennedy's vote
was 6 per cent larger than the
Democratic registration.
Staff members of the Re-
publican National Committee
now are analyzing voting pat
terms in New York, Philadel-
phia. Cleveland, Columbus and
San Francisco.

The Republicans set out to-
day to learn why they were
clobbered last November in the
Nations big cities.
Ray C. Bliss, the Ohio G. o. p
chairman and head Of a task
force on the big city problem,
told a. press conference this
morning he did not know yet
how to get more votes for Re-
publicans from the metropo-
liSes.
But he made it plain that he
believes answers must be found
if Republicans are going to win
future elections.
In 1860, Richard NJ, Nixon
carried only IA of the 40 cities
of over 100000 population. The
huge majorities President Ken
nedy piled UP in the other 26
cities gave him most of the
States with the big blocS OF

scheduled another meeting for
today.
Brig. Gen. Paul Ward, COM
mander Of United Nations
forces in North Katanga, met
yesterday with President Noise
Tshombe Of the secessionalist
Congo Province. Gen. Ward
then left for rebel-held Ma
mono, where he was expected
to seek naturalization Of pro-
Lumumbist forces sent in by
Antoine Gizenga's rebel regime
in Stanleyville.
The Katanga government ad-
'mitted its troops were still on
the offensive against Baluba
tribesmen in Central Katanga,
event through Mr.. Tshombe
reached an agreement with
the United Nations to halt
troop movements likely to cause
friction.
Not Real Fighting
A Katanga spokes a n
claimed "our troops are only
advancing in the Bukama area
and as they are not meeting
any opposition they can't real
ly be said to be fighting"
The spokesman claimed the
agreement only covered fric-
ton between Katanga and
United Nations troops, not be-
tween Katanga troops and the
Balubas. He also denied United
Nations protests that Katanga
forces were fighting at two
points on the road to Manono
and said they were sent to the
region only to protect refugees
from Lumubist troops raiding
for food.
The struggle for power to
take over the mantle of the
slain Patrice Lumumba was
reported intensifying among
his chief lieutenantS.

LEOPOLDVuLE, The Congo,
Feb. "a (AP).-Congolese SOL
diers. apparently bored with
waiting for the start of a mill
tary offensive, rampaged
through the town of Lisala
looting property and molesting
women, the United Nations re-
ported today.
A Malayan officer Of the

Congolese troops stopped him
from getting to the commits
sioner's office.
The civilian population gath
cred yesterday for an angry

marched through the town,
threatening to attack the SOL
diers. The situation appeared
to have quieted by nightfall.
Invasion Planned
LiSala lies in the eastern
area of Equator Province, where
the Leopoldville army COM
mander, Gen. Joseph Mobutu,
has gathered troops for an in
vasion Of Lumumbist Oriental
Province.
The troops have been poised
in the area for nearly four
weeks. but the offensive has
been held off while Gen. Mo-
butu sought to reach agree
ment with the LumumbiSt COM
manders.
The U. N. military COM
mander. Gen. Sean MacKeown
of Ireland, conferred with Gen.
Mobutu Tuesday but told news
men he had been unable to OBJ
tain firm pledges that the gen.
eral would not attack. Gen.

tachments Of Lumumbist troops
had penetrated into northern

By the Associated Press

President Kennedy scheduled
a late afternoon conference
with Secretary of State Rusk
today on some unannounced
foreign policy problem. Ad-
ministration officials said there
was no emergency reason for
the meeting.
Mr.. RuSk Cancelled his sched-
uled news conference, which
was to have been his second
with reporters since he took
office a month ago. The news
conference had been set for 4
pm. and its sudden cancella-
tion this morning was clearly
related to the belated arrange
ment for him to go to the
White House.
Administration officials re-
fused to say what the White
House conference was about
however. Diplomats speculated
that it might be related to in
dications that the Soviet gov
ernment is hardening its stand
on Berlin.
The Soviet Union is reported
to have told. West Germany
that any short-railge plan for
resolving the East West dispute
over Berlin must provide for
the eventual establishment of
West Berlin as a detnilitarized,
free city.
No Crisis Seenmwo~a,,
The Russian position is not
interpreted in high State De-
partment quarters as q step
toward precipitating a. crisis
over the disputed and divided
city. irifornants said. But it
could be a serious nianeuvef to

Other issues of crucial con-

find a formula for making
peace in Laos. The United
States has met rebuffs in re-
cent days in its drive to get
other nations to accept q neu-

declined to be specific about
the problem. or problems, which
prompted the late afternoon
Kennedy Rusk meeting. Mr..
Rusk's press officer, Lincoln
White, said the State Depart
ment chief had Cancelled his
news conference because Of
"the pressure of other appoint
mentS."
Not on Calendar
Neither Mr.. Rusk's own
schedule for the afternoon nor
the White House schedule for
Mr.. Kennedy listed their con-
ference, but. in response to
specific inquiry. the White
House press office confirmed
that Mr.. Rusk was meeting
with Mr.. Kennedy.
The whole procedure was so
extraordinary as to attract un-
usual attention and cause spec
ulation that some crisis had
either internationally or
within the administration.
Officials said there was no
crisis; atsthe same time. some
privately admitted that a

Bishops Bar
Trujji||o Award

CIUDAD TRUJILLO, Do
minican Republic, Feb. "a (AP)
The Dominican Republics
Roman Catholic bishops have
rejected a government request
that they bestow a church title
on GenerahsSimo Rafael L.
Trujillo.
The refusal could mean re-
newed trouble between the
church and the Trujillo gov
ernment.
President Joaquin Balaguer
last month asked the nations
bishops to award Gen. Trujillo,
the country's real ruler, the
title of "Benefactor of the
Catholic Church Of the Domin-
ican Republic"
Given Only by Vatican
The bishops, in a letter pub
lished yesterday in the pro-
| government newspaper Ell
Caribe. said such titles are
handed out only by the Vati-
can.
The bishops added, however,
that they appreciated the ia
vorS and gifts the church has
received from Gen. Trujillo.
you can rest assured that
we appreciate both privately
and publicly these benefits, ia
vors and gifts ordered for the
common welfare" the bishops
said.
Signed by Officials
The letter was signed by
Msgrs. Octave A. Beras, CO.
adjutor archbishop and apos-
tolic administrator; Hugo E.
Polanco. Bishop of Santiago de
los Caballeros; Francisco Panal,
Bishop Of La Vega: Juan r.
Pepen, Bishop Of La Altagracia.
and Tomas F. Reilly, Bishop Of
TemiSonio and prelate of San
Juan de la Maguana.
1t is estimated that $50 mil
lion has been spent in works
for the Catholic church here
at the initiative Of Gen. Tru-
jillo.
A church-government rift
developed in January, 1860,
when the bishops in a pastoral
letter urged clemency for per.
sons arrested in an anti-Tru-
jillo plot. The church accused
the government of using re-
pressive measures.
Violent Attacks Cited
The National Catholic We'll
fare Conference in Washington
has accused Gen. Trujillo of
conducting an anti Catholic
campaign. The Catholic agency
said at least 46 priests were ex-
PEELED last year. It also cited
violent attacks on the church
by the government-controlled
press.
The privately owned Radio
Caribe, whose policies are anti
clerical, said Mr.. Balaguer
acted unwisely in asking the
bishops to give Gen. Trujillo
the title. The radio said that
although Gen. Trujillo is a man
of profound Christian convic-
tions. he does not deserve to
receive title from the cleri-
cal hands which betrayed
him."
The station accused the
church Of having led the anti
Trujillo movement.
