Nun, Bishop Call A Truce VICTORIA (CP) -- A truce was called Tuesday night in the dispute between the Roman Catholic Church and Mother Cecilia Mary, a 75-year-old nun who defied its order to close her animal shelter. Mother Cecilia met Tuesday night with Bishop Remi de Roo, Bishop of Victoria, and other church officials to bring the six- day dispute to a climax. "We decided to, in the words of the bishop, 'call a truce and a cooling-off period'," she said after the two-hour meeting. The matter will be shelved for two or three months, she said, and the animal shelter will continue to operate. Mother Cecilia received the order to close last Thursday from Rev. Andrew Keber of Mission City, B.C., who had been commissioned by the Sa- cred Congregation of Religion in Rome to investigate the shel- ter. RULES AGAINST SHELTER He ruled that the shelter, built with the private inherit- ance of Mother Cecilia, was no |said. MOTHER WAS PHONING FOR RELIEF FOOD ORDER place for nuns.

An uneasy truce hung over this humid Caribbean city as some public services resumed operation and emergency food and medical supplies poured in. The revolt broke out 11 days ago. But the main concern now was the reaction to a call by ne Organization of American States peace mission for an inter-American peace force to help stabilize the situation and the problems posed by the dec- laration of a new constitutional government headed by rebel Col. Francisco Caamano Deno. The marines encountered some sniper opposition as they expanded the eastern perime- zone to include some Latin American embassies. LEADERS PROTEST The rebel leadership protested that the move violated the ceasefire. and a representative of Caamano warned of a pos. sible "massacre." But. an emergency conference between the five - man OAS peace mission and representa- tives of Col. Caamano averted the crisis. The U.S, military might now was massed around the main rebel territory in the heart of the city and the ceasefire was almost universally respected, The declaration of Col.

The OAS committee, awaiting reaction to its call for an inter- American force, was reported in the meantime to be explor- ing the possibilities of working out an agreement on @ govern- ment of unification. Both the peace mission and the U.S. feel an inter-American force is essential im the tense situation here. The peace mission's call for such a force came in a cable to the OAS ministerial council in session in Washington. The cable said the mission had been in continuous contact with all groups on all sides in- volved in the bloody uprising that followed a coup d'etat eoncerning the been accepted by. both by. without distinction as to party affiliation."

"We deem it useful for mem- ber-states which have possibill- ties to do so to establish an inter-American .combined mili- tary force to be put at the dis- posal of the OAS in order to fulfil the objectives set forth by the meeting of consultation."
