NATO warns USSR of grave consequences over new aggression
Brussels AP reports NATO 15 nations issued a communique warning the Soviet Union against further aggression in Europe or the Mediterranean. The North Atlantic Alliance, including France, urged Moscow to refrain from force and interference, saying any intervention would threaten world peace and the UN charter. France signaled continued support for the alliance despite its 1966 pullout from military sections. West German Foreign Minister Brandt welcomed the results, while Dean Rusk warned U.S. security would be affected if Soviets move into Yugoslavia or Austria.
