Rusk doubts Soviet aim on Yugoslavia and NATO
In Washington, Secretary of State Dean Rusk rejected a press report that the Soviet Union would threaten Western defense by moving against Yugoslavia, Romania, or Austria. He said the report was likely from a NATO ministers meeting and stressed Russia does not intend to confront NATO, though events outside the alliance can still affect it. Separately, Sen. Stennis foresees an acceptable Vietnam settlement in 1969 with continued U.S. troop presence if fighting continues. The Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. Foundation announced a new program to boost athletic participation by mentally retarded children, and Nixon’s task force leader says wiretapping may be used to gather evidence.
