Humprey Talks With De Gaulle Seen Improving US France Ties
Vice President Hubert Humphrey's 80 minute Paris visit with Charles de Gaulle is viewed by French officials as easing tensions between the United States and France. They remain at odds over Viet Nam, the Dominican Republic and NATO, but the meeting is seen as a productive step with potential social value in a future presidential discussion. A $178 million wartime loan payment gesture is noted as a favorable French sign, while officials say alignment on Viet Nam exists though approaches differ. New Delhi reports the Rann of Kutch as Asia's flamingo nesting ground amid India Pakistan fallout.
