During his recent trip to Taiwan Secretary of State Rusk warned the Nationalists that a change in policy might be necessary in the next session. Ambassador Goldberg said late in August that the government was actively reexamining its admission policy. In background briefings to major newspapers, top-level officials indicated that the policy would be altered this session...

At the Urban League's convention in Philadelphia, David Rusk, 25, son of Secretary of State Dean Rusk and an associate director of the Washington, D.C., league, emerged as a leader of a militant faction, challenged the league to be "unreasonable" in its demands for the Negro in the ghetto.
