Kennedy flew to the conference from his own rest spot at Palm Beach, Fla. He took the initiative in setting up today's historic conference.

The session reportedly may deal with possible appointment by Kennedy of some Repub licans to key positions in his ad ministration.

An enthusiastic crowd of Kennedy supporters swarmed past rope barriers at the airport and surged toward Kennedy. A squad of Secret Service men and Dade County deputies formed a flying wedge to get Kennedy to a convertible for his trip to Key Biscayne. Kennedy, holding only a tiny popular vote margin over his Republican opponent, was accompanied by an old prep school chum, New York advertising man K. L. Billings.

Kennedy and Billings attended Choate Preparatory School in Connecticut. Kennedy got in some tennis Sunday afternoon before watching a movie on the lawn at night. Kennedy took the initiative in arranging the meeting with Nixon at Key Biscayne in the Miami outskirts where the vice president is vacationing. Nixon promptly agreed.

A state of siege modified mar tial law was proclaimed in the mountainous Central American republic. Press censorship was im posed. Ydigoras blamed the attempted coup on low-ranking army offi cers.

The biggest haul was at the C.T. Loo in midtowni Manhattan, where paintings screens and other objects, includ ing the $65,000 Hui Tsung scroll were recovered.

The objects were valued at $282,000. The gallery is owned by Frank Caro, 56, a native of France but now a naturalized American. He was described as one of two major dealers had cooperated the investigation. Agents said the government got onto the smuggling operation some time ago when a Treasury agent learned that a millionaire Hong Kong dealer and collector, J. D.

Chen, was involved in transactions that brought ancient art objects from Red China to this country. Chen began selling the objects to American dealers, particularly the Loo galleries and Charles L. Doue, a Berkeley, dealer. The search led agents to the Bos ton Museum, where an examination of records indicated the "Birds and Flowers" painting (Turn to Page 12, Column 5) and one of Queen Elizabeth H's doctors, Lord Evans, were "wor ried and puzzled." Neither would immediately answer reporters' questions. Both were extremely cautious for good reasons.

For weeks the actress had been reported suffering from a mystery virus that brought on high temperatures in the afternoon. Unable to diagnose the cause of the fever at her penthouse apartment in a London hotel, the doctors ordered her into the London Clinic on Oct. 30. They made several tests on her and she was allowed to leave the clinic three days after being admitted. The fever still persisted, however.

Last week she complained of a severe tooth ache. JT-rays were taken and an abscessed tooth dis covered. A dentist pulled it and her fever went down.

Besides classrooms, the building housed a 300-seat chapel auditorium, the history, English and music departments, an arena theater and the college radio station. Several persons in the radio station cleared out before flames engulfed the structure.

Because it was Sunday, no one else was believed to be in the building when the blaze broke out. Some 40 minutes after the fire was discovered by students who turned in the alarm, the roof cav ed in.

The worst mess was in 1876 when Democrat Samuel B. Tilden won the popular vote but fell one vote short of an electoral majority due to conflicting electoral counts in three Southern states. The House was Democratic that year and the Senate Republican. Neither would let the other act.

Finally a commission of five senators, five representatives and five Supreme Court justices voted on the rival claims and by a 8-7 vote awarded all the disputed votes to the Republican candidate, Rutherford B. Hayes. He was named president just two days before Inauguration Day. i Outdated Electoral College Makes CITY SOLICITOR John Huddle was still working today noon on what appears to be a volume of legislation for consideration at city council meeting tonight.

The matter is now going before the Ohio Supreme repeated attacks on it, the system is still with us and the antiquated machinery will have to be cranked up on Dec. 19 to make the election of John F. Kennedy official.

On that day the electors will meet in their respective states and confirm what the voters did last Tuesday. Each state gets as many votes as it has members in Congress. Originally the electors in most states were chosen by their state legislatures but now they are picked by party leaders in each state (although Alabama picked them in a primary). This slate of electors is what the voters choose, not a presidential candidate. The vote is recorded in the candidate's name, however, and as the system has evolved, the electors votes in almost all cases belong to him.

Fourteen unpledged electors in Alabama and Mississippi will be Satellite's Capsule Coming Home To Earth It Official For Kennedy VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. (AP)-The cold-plat ed capsule of Discoverer XVII given an extra day in space for good behavior should come fly ing nome today when a scientist presses a button. The satellite, forerunner of a legion of military sky spies, is the first of the Discoverer series to eject its capsule at a ground signal. All the others have ejected when a timing device within the space package clicked shut on the satellite's 17th pass around the earth. When Discover XVII neared its 14th trip, the Air Force decided Sunday that it was behaving so well it could stay up a little lonr.

Scheduled ejection time was delayed to the Slit pass, about p.m. EST today. I By JOHN BECKLER WASHINGTON (AP)-It seemed like a good idea back in 1788 to have the president of the United States chosen by an electoral college. The idea was to have the best people in each state get together and pick the best man in the coun try to run things. It worked fine as long as George Washington was around.

Washington won the unanimous vote of the electors in 1789 and 1792, but never again did the sys tem work the way it was sup posed to. The grit of politics got in the gearbox. Once the people began to have say as to who were the best men in each state and rival par ties started pushing rival candi dates, the whole idea of a genteel aristocracy tapping one of its members as president collapsed. But despite its failure and the ii I 1 NIXON VACATIONING A young man bearing a welcome sign heads a friendly crowd that gathered to greet Vice- President Richard M.
