Rusk ends five nation tour with guarded satisfactions
U S Secretary of State Dean Rusk completed a 15 day five nation tour with limited concrete results but several sources say he can take satisfaction. In SEATO he kept fissures from widening and held useful talks with ANZUS partners Australia and New Zealand. In Manila and Taipei he advanced economic and diplomatic groundwork while signaling a shift toward nonmilitary responses in Asia. In Seoul he gained latitude for South Korea to join future Viet Nam talks and noted a growing Asian sense of community amid new winds favoring regional independence from U S influence.
