West Seeks To Bolster Front At NATO Meet
PARIS AP Nine days of brisk talks began as the West aimed to strengthen NATO ahead of summit talks with Soviet leader Khrushchev. Christian Herter and Maurice Couve de Murville planned a key morning meeting to set the tone for NATO foreign ministers. Twining accused Western Europe of slow integration of air defenses and nuclear weapons. Dillon wrapped up talks in London, Brussels, Bonn and Paris, aiming to avert a trade clash between the EEC six and the EFTA seven. He secured Germany’s promise to pay 800 million marks on its postwar debt to ease U.S. payments.
