Rusk Pushes Congo Talks at NATO Meet but Fails to Satisfy France
At the NATO ministerial conference in Paris, Secretary of State Rusk pressed to ease fears of concessions with Moscow over Berlin and to back UN actions in Congo Katanga.

Rusk defended UN decisions and urged backing for UN forces, arguing their actions are self defense under Security Council mandates. He met with De Gaulle in Paris for a cordial, details-silent discussion on easing tensions with the Soviet Union.
