CENSUS
State Gains
Extra Seat

In House

Michigan will gain a new seat{
in the United States House of
Representatives-its nineteenth-
as a result of population increases
disclosed Tuesday by the Com-
merce Department's 1960 census
report.
Sometime before mid-1963 it
must redistrict the state to make
room for the new congressman.
Who gets it-Republicans or
Democrats-may well be deter-
mined by how the geographic lines
are drawn.
Both parties realize this and are
expected to seek to gerrymander
district boundaries to their own
advantage.
The only certainty is that the
southeastern section of the state,
whose population has most great-
ly increased, will gain the added
representation.
But if an attempt is made to
decrease present inequalities in
representation, it could involve re-
drawing many or most of the
state's current 18 districts.
If the governor and Legislature
can reach no agreement, the
state's 19th congressman would be
elected at large.

Defeat Chances
But these diplomats said chanc-
es for defeating the adjournment
move and winning a seat for Kas-
avubu were increasing, due main-
ly to the good impression he had

Kennedy Flies
To Meetings
With Johnson
JOHNSON CITY, Tex. (')
President-elect John F. Kennedy
flew to Texas yesterday to con-!
fer with Vice - President-elect
Lyndon B. Johnson on the massive
problems facing their administra-
tion.
Kennedy was greeted by Gov.
Price Daniel and United States'
Sen. Ralph Yarborough at Berg -
strom Air Force Base,. six miles
from Austin. Kennedy immediate-
ly hopped into a small plane and
flew to Johnson's ranch 65 miles;
west of Austin.
Kennedy broke into a Florida
vacation to fly here by jet plane.'
Some 35 newsmen and Kenne-
dy's staffers got off the plane be-
fore the President-elect.
The public was barred from see-
ing the senator by secret security
agents. But several hundred air-
men and their families lined up
behind a wire guard to welcome
him.
Last night and through today,
in the seclusion of Johnson's
i ranch house, the two men were
expected to try to chart not only
a smooth changeover from a Re-
publican to a Democratic regime
but also a far ranging legislative
program to which they commit-
ted themselves during the cam-
paign.

to postpone Congo debate pending
the outcome of efforts by a 15-
member Asian-African concilia-
tion mission to achieve an on-
the-spot reconciliation among
rival Congolese political factions.
Ask Postponement
Ghana, supported by Guinea,
Nigeria and the entire Soviet bloc,
asked for the postponement. The
IUnited States opposed it. But on
the next day the United States
succeeded in pushing through the
nine-nation credentials commit-
tee a recommendation that Kasa-
vubu be seated.
Meanwhile, Kasavubu sent a
letter to Rajeshwar Dayal, In-
dian ambassador who is Secre-
tary-General Dag Hammarsk-
jold's special representative in the
Congo,, objevting strenuously to
dispatch of the conciliation mis-
sion.
Dayal Is in New York consult-
ing with Hammarskjold and his
Congotadvisory committee, which
named the 15-nation conciliation
group but has not yet reached#
agreement on just when it should7
leave for the Congo.
"The sending of a commission
to the territory ofra member
state without its prior accord
would constitute a precedent the
scope anddanger of which can-
not escape. the Secretary-Gener-
al," Kasavubu informed Dayal.

TeensAgers
Demonstrate
At City Hall
Long Vows Support
To State Legislature
NEW ORLEANS W) - Riotous
demonstrations against race mix-
ing in New Orleans schools broke
up again and again yesterday un-
der the pressure of clubbing po-
lice and arching fire hoses.
More than 1,000 demonstrators
-most of them truants from the
high schools-failed to reach the
school board offices in the center
of downtown New Orleans.
Three hundred turbulent teen-
agers reformed after hoses and
clubs drove them from the streets
and tried to charge into, City Hall
a few blocks away.
Many Injured
Arrests mounted to 58 by mid-
afternoon. Many were injured.
Meanwhile, Sen. Russell Long
(D-La) stood before an infuriated
Louisiana Legislature in Baton
Rouge and said, "I would be per-
sonally willing to impeach the en-
tire Supreme Court if my vote
would do it.
"The situation in Washington,"
he said, "is likely to get worse.
We simply do not have the votes."
Private Schools
He suggested the Legislature
abandon public schools and turn
to a segregated private school sys-
tem.
Almost forgotten in the tumul-
tuous sequence of violence were
the four little Negro first-grade
girls whose entry into white pub-
lic elementary schools for the first
time in more than 80 years began
the see-saw of strength in the
deep south's largest city.
One of the four entered William
Frantz School quietly for the third
day with a silent crowd of under
100 persons watching. At McDon-
ogh No. 19, three others marched
into the school before a silent.
crowd of about the same size.
Downtown, tension grew by the
hour as police repelled the ad-
vances of teenagers and adults
chanting "two, four, six, eight, we
don't want to integrate."
Attack Man
After the worst of the day's dis-
orders apparently had subsided,
eight Negroes attacked a white
man and shot him.
White men beat up four Ne-
groes.
A group of whites stoned a Ne-
gro truck driver, who threw half
bricks back. Police broke up the
fight. None was hurt.
Gov. Jimmie H. Davis in Baton
Rouge called on "all those in New
Orleans who are under this emo-
tional strain to stay at home and
don't do anything" they might be
sorry for.

PARIS ()-President Charles
de Gaulle announced yesterday he
is going to submit, to French vot-
ers a plan for a new system .of
government for rebellious Algeria.
The new system would prevail, a
cabinet announcement said, until
Algerians themselves decided their
own future in a subsequent vote
under de Gaulle's already pro-
pounded doctrine of self-determi-
nation. Autonomy for Algeria ap-
pears to be the end in view.
De Gaulle's action yesterday
had been expected, and there have
been predictions that any refer-
endumn will go the way he wants
it to. But yesterday's develop-
ments may touch off explosions
among European settlers of Al-
geria, who want the African ter-
ritory to remain part of France.
Breaks Secrecy
Breaking some of the secrecy
shrouding his deliberations on the
thorny problem, de Gaulle told
a cabinet meeting that "at the
appropriate time" he will ask the
nation's approval of a new sys-
tem of government in Algeria.
The cabinet itself was asked to
draft the text of this new provi-
sional constitution, and to pre-
pare for the referendum. Spokes-
men said it is up to the cabinet
to decide whether voters in Al-
geria will also be able to partici-
pate in this referendum, or wheth-
er the vote will be restricted to
metropolitan France. '
Technically, Algeria is now part
of France and participates in all
national elections. But the cabinet
could rule that public order was
too troubled in Algeria to permit
voting.
Discusses Republic
The cabinet announcement did
not mention local autonomy. But
Nixon Leads
California
SAN FRANCISCO (A) - Vice-
President Richard M. Nixon cap-
tured California's 32 electoral
votes last night on unofficial re-
turns from a wave of more than
230,000 absentee ballots counted
eight days after the polls closed.
Nixon led in California by 13,-
160 votes.
Democratic Sen. John F. Ken-
nedy still was President-elect,
based on national electorate vote
totals in the closest race in mod-
er times.
Republican Nixon had the con-
solation of eking out victory in
his home state after Kennedy had
led narrowly from start to finish
of the regular vote count.
Here were the latest unofficial
California figures:
Absentees:
Nixon 132,186; Kennedy 84,458.
Statewide resident and absen-
tee:
Nixon 3,219,211; Kennedy 3,-
206,501.
The remaining absentee votes-
about 20,000-were mainly in the
Republican strongholds of San
Diego and Orange Counties.
The official canvass, due by
Nov. 28, will give the final score,
but it appeared that only a gross
error at the county clerk level in
some major counties could upset
Nixon's success in California.

de Gaulle in his Nov. 4 radio 'TV
address to the nation spoke of an
eventual Algerian Republic. And
he said the Algerian administra-
tion must henceforth be com-
pletely in the hands of Algerians
--the so-called Algerian Algeria
which has become his goal
The cabinet is expected to call
the referendum for mid-January.
There was no immediate reac-
tion from the embittered Euro-
pean settlers of Algeria. It' is al-
most bound to be hostile, since'any
new political, system in Algeria
would be a step away from 'thee
complete union with France they
have long demanded.
Heavy Patrols
The streets of Algiers were
heavily patrolled by French riot
police and mobile guardsmen,
many of them newly arrived from
France.-The government has sent
1,100 police reinforcements as a
precaution against any new civil-
ian uprising.
Criticism of de Gaulle's move
cropped up in the corridors of the
National Assembly where the
Gaullists control a safe majority.
