Hundreds of thousands of French soldiers were on the alert for possible attempts by either Moslem rebels or right wing European settlers to dis rupt the nationwide referen dum with violence. Fifteen French warships with thousands of sailors and marines were standing by at the big naval base of Mers-el-Kebir. Rebels Isiua Threat The leadership of the Na tional Liberation Front which has been waging a six-year war against the French for independence, sent warnings through the underground that the first Moslem who voted in the referendum "will have his throat cut." The rebels called on a 1 1 Moslems to boycott the refer endum as a "fraud" and wait for "final liberation." On the other hand the 9 million Moslems in this un settled land have been told through speeches and pam phlets from the French that de Gaulle wants them to vote "yes" in the referendum so that he may bring them peace. The French army was or dered to encourage the Mos lems to go to the polls and to provide transportation for them where necessary. The voting' will be held in tlie Algerian countryside to day and Saturday. On Sunday ballots will be cast in the big cities of Algeria.'such as Al giers and Oran, and through out mainland France. If de Gaulle gets a "yes" vote he will have popular sup port for his plans to grant more home rule to the Al gerians immediately and pre pare for an ultimate referen dum in which Algerians will be allowed to decide their own future - continued inte gration with France, a looser alliance or independence. Nixon Officially Proclaims Kennedy Election Winner Washington - (UPD - John F, Kennedy's election as Presi dent was made official today by the man he defeated for the nation s highest office. The presidential electoral votes were counted at a joint session of the House and Sen ate and it was Richard M. Nixon's job as vice president to announce the results. It marked the first time in 100 years that the man who ran second in a presidential election has been required to make the official announce ment of the outcome. Lincoln Proclaimed Not since Feb. 13, 1861, has a defeated presidential candi date officiated at such a cere mony. On that day Vice Presi dent John C. Breckinridge proclaimed Abraham Lincoln the winner in a four-man race. Lincoln got 180 of the 303 electoral votes in the 1860 election and Breckinridge fin ished second with 72. Like Kennedy, Lincoln failed to get a majority of the popular vote. On . the basis of popular votes the Kennedy-Nixon race was one of the closest in his tory and right up to the 11th hour it was uncertain wheth er the final count would give Kennedy 300 or 303 of the 537 electoral votes. Hawaii initially certified Nixon as the winner of its three electoral votes but then sent Washington a corrected certificate listing Kennedy as the winner. , On the basis of the correct ed result in Hawaii, the tally was: . For Kennedy and his running-mate, Lyndon B. John son, 303 votes; for Nixon and his running-mate, Henry Cab ot Lodge, 219 votes; for Sen. Harry Flood Byrd of Virginia, 15 votes for president with 14 for Sen. Strom Thurmond as vice president and one vice presidential ballot for Sen. Harry Goldwater (R-Ariz.). Rayburn Battles To Beat Challenge To Powerf Prestige Washington - (UPII - Speaker Sam Rayburn observed his 79th birthday today, battling behind the scenes to defeat a challenge to his congressional power and prestige. The challenge came from an other old-timer - courtly Rep. Howard W. Smith, 77, a south ern gentleman of the old school who until a few years ago wore wing collars and a string tie. The outcome of the struggle could have quite a bit to do with how successful President elect John F. Kennedy is in getting liberal legislation through the 87th Congress. Rayburn, whose bald head is his trade-mark, has been the No. 1 Democrat in the house for 20 of the 48 years he has been a member. He has served longer in the House and longer as speaker than any man in history. Heads Rules Committee Smith is the leader of con servative Southern Democrats and chairman of the powerful House Rules Committee which serves as the legislative traffic control center for the house. He has been in Congress for 30 years and is recognized as Its wiliest tactician. The two quiet - spoken, but strong - willed men for five days have been locked in a struggle for personal control of the Rules Committee. It has the power to block controver sial House bills. In recent years the commit tee has been controlled by a coalition of ultra-conservative Republicans and southern Democrats headed by Smith. With the advent of the Ken nedy administration, Rayburn is determined to break - and Smith to perpetuate -the coalition's power to block leg islation. Characteristically, t h I s behind-the-scenes struggle has been conducted without public statements from either of the two men who are rated the toughest and shrewdest bat tlers In Congress. The "war of nerves" began when Smith last Sunday rejected a Ray burn proposal that would have enlarged the committee to give Rayburn control. Rayburn quietly has passed the word thjt if necessary to achieve his objective, he will lead a fight to purge Rep. Wil liam M. Colmcr (D Miss.) from the committee and replace him with a Rayburn Democrat. The excuse for purging Col mcr would be that he bolted the national party ticket in the November election. BERNARD P.
