Rusk and Gromyko May Hold Talks in New York
U S Secretary of State Dean Rusk and Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko may meet in New York around November 29 for high level talks on U S Soviet relations amid disputes over U N peace keeping funding and potential moves to improve East West ties. The talks would follow Gromyko's anticipated attendance at the U N General Assembly and come as both sides signal interest in easing tensions and expanding cooperation including possible disarmament steps and trade discussions. The U S has demanded strict enforcement of U N charter assessments, with the Soviet Union facing possible loss of its Assembly vote if dues remain unpaid.

McNamara closes yards and cuts jobs trigger revolt
The Defense Secretary announced closing or realigning 95 installations in 35 states, risking 63 000 jobs and saving 447 million annually. Brooklyn Navy Yard with 9 600 workers and Portsmouth Navy Yard with 7 300 employees would phase out in 18 months to 10 years amid sharp political backlash. The Vatican council approved a declaration rejecting Jewish blame, but delayed a vote on the religious liberty schema prompting a 1 400-prelate petition urging reconsideration.
