Kennedy yesterday conferred at his Georgetown home with Dean Rusk, who has been described as a leading contender for the top cabinet post of Sec- retary of State.

Rusk said the talk dealt with foreign affairs generally and es- pecially "organization of the government to carry out our foreign policy."

The bank is a chartered com- mercial bank having no connec- tion with the Canadian govern- ment.

He said the revolt was directed gainst Prince Souvanna Phouma, he neutralist premier who is con- dered by Phoumi to be too leni- nt with the Communist-led Pat- et Lao guerrillas. ,ON CON: Asks One Public Vote Early dispatches said that mili- tary units vowing loyalty to Phou- ma took over Vientiane and pro- Communist elements fled or were placed under guard. Capt. Kong Le, who leans toward the left, was sacked as garrison commander. Aimed at Leftists The predawn maneuver appeared aimed at the pro-Communist Pat- het Lao and other leftists who have infiltrated the capital. Ru- mors had swept the city that Pat- het Lao guerrillas nearby might try to seize Vientiane. Some Western diplomats said the military maneuver might be designed to strengthen the pre- mier's hand in his peace negotia- tions with the rightist regime of Nosavan. Phoumi's forces have broken through on the jungle front 100 miles to the east and arej reported advancing on the capital." Seized Ministry Phoumi asserted his forces seized the defense ministry and several' other strategic points and pre- dicted they soon would have con- trol of the capital's airport. (In Vientiane, Souvanna said two planeloads of Phoumi's para- troopers flew over the capital's air- port in the afternoon, asked per-: mission to land and were refused. He said they then flew to a point about 14 miles away and dropped 70 paratroopers, who made no George Romney, chairman of the coordinating committee for a constitutional convention asked state legislators for a change in legislation to allow the primary for convention delegates and the ac- tual approval for calling con-con to be combined in the same elec- tion on April 3.

NEWMAN CLUB CHRISTMAS PARTY Tonight at 8:30 LONDON (P) - British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan hinted yesterday he is considering a con- troversial new venture in per- sonal diplomacy - face-to-face talks with Red China's Premier Chou En-Lai - when the time seems ripe. But he made clear in the House of Commons this is not the mo- World News Roundup' by The Associated Press The nation's two biggest elec- trical manufacturers, Westing- house Electric Corp. and General Electric Co. changed innocent pleas to guilty or no defense yes- terday in one of the federal gov- ernment's biggest criminal anti- trust cases. The two firms were each named in 19 indictments of price fixing and bid rigging with respect to annual sales, amounting to about $2 billion, of heavy electrical equipment-mainly to local, state and federal agencies and public utilities. WASHINGTON---United States sources yesterday questioned the accuracy of reports that Russia plans to establish a submarine base in Guinea on the west coast of Africa. There is no evidence of any construction and nothing indicates that the Soviets and the leftist government of President Sekou Toure have agreed to establish such a base, the sources said. Portuguese officials are spread- ing word of such an agreement, which would give the Soviets an important military foothold in Af- rica. CROWN POINT, Tobago - The United States will retain its naval base at Chaguaramas on the Is- land of Trinidad for 17 years, it was agreed at talks ending here yesterday. The base is one of those Britain leased to the United States in the deal that delivered 50 old United States destroyers to the British early in World War II. Renegotiation was brought on by the new autonomous status of the former British West Indies colonies. Chaguaramas is the only active United States naval base in the south Caribbean. said last night it is granting loans on favorable terms for the build- ing of about 100 industrial and agricultural projects in the Unit- ed Arab Republic.

Britain, unlike the United States, has recognized the Peiping regime and has swapped diplomatic mis- sions with the Red government. Macmillan's statement, prompt- ed by questions from Conservative followers, and Labor Party op- ponents, came shortly after a group of 38 Laborites called for an unprecendented parliamentary vote of thanks to Premier Nikita Khrushchev "for his recent ef- forts" to reaffirm a peaceful co- existence as the policy goal of world Communism. This was a reference to the Mos- cow parley of 81 Communist party chieftains in which Khrushchev seemed to have emerged the win- ner after encounters with Chinese rulers who have long been urging a more: revolutionary program by Communists everywhere. The fate of the Laborite motion is uncertain. It will be debated only if another 100 or so law- makers sign it. So far mainly left- wingers have done so although some moderates have lent their names to it. With characteristic British cau- tion, Macmillan made it clear to- day he will not risk offending his allies again if and when he de- cides to meet China's leaders.
