Congo command hung in the balance to day as two more nations served notice they are quitting the peace force. Announcement by Guinea and Morocco that they are pulling out their troops brought to four the . nations withdrawing from the Con go operation and cut its manpower by almost a third. The United Na tions has nearly 20.000 men in the Congo, but fewer than 17,000 are actual troop contingents, Bisstsr Unit . The move 'by Morocco, whose 3.100 soldiers constitute the big gest single unit in the Congo, and Guinea which had 749 men in the field brings the withdrawals to more than 5,500. The United Arab Republic announced earlier it was v pulling out 519 men, and Indonesia said it was withdrawing 1,150. The pull-out was seen as a ser ious blow to the u. IV command which has been under bitter attack from the Soviet and Asian-African blocs during the present Congo de bate in the Security Council. Both Guinea and Morocco cou pled their announcements with charges that Secretary - General Dag Hammarskjold's Congo opera . tion had not given protection to ' Patrice Lumumba, deposed Congo premier arrested by the forces of Army col. josepn juooutu. Accuse U. N. Both nations accused the United Nations of failing to carry out Uie mission with which it has been entrusted in the chaotic African . state.

Kennedy began a busy, round of conferences on possible Cabinet appointments to day by seeing George Meany, president of the AFL-CIO. The labor leader, whose pres ence on the Kennedy appointment list had not been previously an nounced, showed up at Kennedy's Georgetown home at 9:10 a.m. and went directly inside without a word to newsmen clustered out aide in 11-degree weather. Kennedy has been- waiting to talk to Meany before reaching a decision on the man be will name secretary of labor. Before Meany's unannounced appearance it had been thought Kennedy was concentrating today on conferences dealing with the secretary of agriculture post in his Cabinet. There were also hints from Kennedy's press secretary, Pierre Salinger, that Kennedy was on the verge of announcing his choice for secretary of defense or secretary of the treasury. Kennedy scheduled -separate meetings at his Georgetown home with Ralph Bradley, president of the Illinois Farmers Union, and Rep. Harold Cooley, D-N.C, chair man of the House Agriculture Committee. On tap was discussion of who will head the Agriculture Department in the new adminis tration an assignment which could be one of the most difficult of the Kennedy regime. There was no immediate indica tion whether the president - elect was close to a decision on the Agriculture post. There has been speculation the job may go to Rep. George S. McGovern, D-S.D., or Fred V. Heinkei, president of the Missouri Farmers Association. Among those mentioned for sec retary of Defense are Robert S. McNamara, president of the Ford Motor Co.; Paul H. Nitze, director of the State Department's policy planning staff in the Truman ad ministration; and Roswell Gilpa trie, undersecretary of the Air Force under President Truman.

The council voted to enter into the negotiations by a five toone majority. This included a vole in favor of negotiating by Mayor elect Pete Seraiin, who strongly opposed the proposal two weeks ago and was one of the principals in what turned out to be a-tuu-hour debate on the issue Monday night. Federal Bargaining The council did not sign an agreement with the authority Mon day night because of a request by City Attorney Paul Gcddes to ne-' gotiate with the federal Govern- j ment on some of the points of the ' cuiurai'l. The proposal to add the 50 units to the government-aided low-rent housing protect was nearly denied earlier in Monday night's meeting . as mayor Ario Jacklin had to cast a vote favoring the arlrlitinn in break a three-to-three deadlock of me council. Serafin originally proposed that the council deny the DCHA's re quest to increase it's facilities. He was supported by Councilmen Vir gil Walls and Bill Carstens. opposing the denial were Jack Davis, who led the debate favoring the addition among the council men, John Blessinc and Les West. Switch Sides After ihe mayor broke the lie. Blessing made the motion to enter into negotiations with the DCI1A and to have Ilia city attorney check into some changes in the proposed agreement.

Audience Opinion The bulk of the debate was be tween Serafin and housing author ity administrator Charles Dondern. Serafin received backing from real tor Horry Winter and Dondcro re ceived the bulk of his vocal sup port from Davis.

However, the prob lem arises when a county has more than half of the number necessary for anolher representative or sena tor.

It is in these districts where heat is expected to be gen erated - " Reapportionment Job The reapportionment of district is the job of the Legislature. If It fails to reach a reapportionment agreement by July 1, Ihe job is turned over to the secretary of state. He then must work out the reapportionment by Aug. 1. If either the Legislature or llto secretary of state do reapportions in such a way that a citizen thinks it was not done correctly, the re apportionment can be taken to the Supreme Court.
