(AP) The election of Joe Waggonner, staunch segregationist and conservative Democrat, to Congress strengthens congressional opponents of the Kennedy lion. Waggonner defeated Republican Charlton H. Lyons Sr. in a surprisingly close election in northwest Louisiana's 4th District Tuesday.

The new congressman made no secret during the hard-fought campaign that he differs widely with lost policies of the national party which he bolted in the 1960 presidential election. Complete returns gave Waggonner 33.846 votes to 28,275 for Lyons in a district that hasn't elected a Republican congressman since Reconstruction days. Waggonner, of Plain Dealing, is 43 and a member of the State Board of Education. Lyons is 67, a wealthy Shreveport oilman. Waggonner will serve until January 1963, filling out the term of the late Rep.

Overton Brooks, who died Sept. 16. Most observers were surprised at the large vole for Lyons, whose views closely agreed with Waggonner's. Lyons himself was a Democrat for 45 years until last year. A strong rural vote enabled Waggonner to overcome Lyons' lead in Caddo Parish (Shreveport), which cast nearly 60 per cent of the vote.

That vote came however, before Manning's statement. Stitzlein asked for the housing on three major points: to provide good citizens by putting 72 fam- letting the city council know about; jij cs in g0(X houses; to provide it. This was hi answer to the fears of at least one councilman who wanted to be assured that a council delay would not a 1 the project. The city council, at its last meeting, voted opposition to the proposed 72 new low-rent housing units in the Goosport area. A 1956 city council had a to the erection of a total of 400 units of which this 72 is a part.

Manning said that the council, he understands, proposes to abrogate that agreement. He said he would consult with Marshall W. Amos, director of the Fort Worth PHA office, and he felt that the council would be consulted before taking the matter to the U.S. attorney general. He offered PHA information on housing here and services to the council.

JFK Will Definitely Keep Appointment With British Leader By FRANCES LEWINE WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.

Kennedy's ailing father, hospitalized with a stroke that caused partial paralysis, was somewhat improved this morning. And there definitely will be a meeting between the President and Prime Minister Harold Macmillan of Britain Thursday. White House press secretary Pierre Salinger told reporters, however, that there is a possibility the conference may be shifted from Bermuda to Palm Beach. He said Macmillan, who arrived in Bermuda today, has been in touch with the chief executive and places himself at the President's disposal. A decision on the site of the conference will be reached late today on the basis of a report at that time from physicians attending 73-year-old Joseph P.

Washing- Ion, Rev. J. L. Stovall and the pastor of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic church spoke in favor of the housing. Holley Heard, speaking for the Lake Charles Board of Realtors, said that group is opposed to any public housing.

He said the group is not against improved living conditions and with the help of the national real estate board would work with the council to alleviate the problems. Councilman Ike Harless, who made the original motion to oppose the housing, made the motion today to refer the matter to' committee with the understanding that PHA not construe that as! withdrawal from the agreement, Harless, Lyons and Arthur Mo-, reno were named to the commit-; lee. In the same election former Vice President Richard M. Nixon, the GOP presidential candidate, polled more than 40 per cent of the district's vote to lead both the State Rights party's unpledged electors (backed by Waggonner) and President Kennedy. Waggonner in a victory statement noted that he and Lyons "were conservatives together in this race" and added that "the paramount desire of the voters was to choose a constitutional con servative." Lyons called "the tremendous vote given me under the banner of the Republican party.

an effective rebuke against those in Washington who would transform the United States into a Socialist nation." In Washington, Rep. Bob Wilson, head of the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee, said Lyons' strong showing "portends Republican gains all across the South in 1962" and "points up an unquestionable dissatisfaction with the ndonesia Says Door Open for Settlement Announcement that the Kennedy-Macmillan conference will go on came just before the President left the oceanfront mansion in Palm Beach where he is staying to drive to the hospital several miles away in West Palm Beach.
