Rusk Speaks At Opening Of SEATO CANBERRA, Australia (UPI) --Secretary of State Dean Rusk today ignored an anti-Viet Nam demonstration a cries of "Go home, you murdering Yank" when he arrived for an address opening the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) ministerial meeting. A group of i i students waving placards denouncing the roles of the United States and Australia in the Viet Nam war greeted Rusk outside the meeting place.

In his speech at the first session, Rusk declared the Communist threat to Asia and the Pacific area was a "naked challenge to the security of every free nation." The SEATO members are the United States, Britain, Australia, France, New Zealand, Pakistan, the Philippines and Thailand. Prance sent only an observer to the meeting while Pakistan was represented by its high commissioner in Australia. Rusk told the delegates the Communist threat is most starkly evident in Viet Nam but is not limited to that country. "It's active in Laos and Thailand and it hangs all over Southeast Asia and over nations elsewhere in Asia and the Pacific," he said. "Indeed, it is a naked challenge to world peace and order, thus' ultimately to the security of every free nation." Falling Leaves Not Alarming Park Superintendent Jacob De Graaf has been receiving several calls concerning leaves dropping from maple trees in the city and surrounding area and today told residents the condition is not alarming.

He advised residents to spray their trees with water using as much hose pressure as possible since spraying with a chemical is seldom necessary and in some instances is more detrimental to the tree. De Graaf said the incident, causing slight damage if any, is oceuring primarily in Norway maple trees. It is caused by small green aphins on the underside of the leaves which suck the juice from the leaves and secrete it on the top side caus- -ing a sticky substance. This sticky accumulation on the top of the leaf is called honeydew, De Graaf said. Freedom March Ends at Capitol JACKSON, Miss.

John Sonnett had unsuccessfully requested that Sen.

Wallace Bennett, R-Utah, be removed 'rom the committee because of 'bias and prejudgment." The silver-haired senator disputed charges that he had served as an ''errand boy" for Chicago public relations man Julius Klein during a 1964 trip to West Germany, or that he had accepted unusual favors from Klein, a registered agent for West German interests. Under questioning by Sonnett, Dodd made these points' -On the trip, he discussed Klein but once and that was only because then-chancellor Konrad Adenauer had asked him about a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on foreign lobbyists which involved Klein. "I said Klein was not indiicted, or convicted of anything," Dodd testified. "That was about the extend of the conversation." -He had not made similar comments on Klein in discussions with other West German officials, --He had used Klein's suite at the Essex House in New York City "five, six, maybe eight times a year" because it had been offered. He also accepted the hospitality of others.

"I'm not a rich man and I'm not ashamed of it," the senator told the committee. --He had inserted in the Congressional Record on two or three occasions material provided by Klein because he found it worthwhile and in the public interest. "I'm no different from other senators," Dodd commented. --He recommended Klein to serve on the U. S.

Battle Monuments Commission, but only after Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey, then a senator, had made the same recommendation. --He never received any expensive Persian rugs or other gifts from Klein. He did accept a Doily-sized table covering which Dodd said "looked like a run salesman's sample," --His friendship with Klein "goes back a long way" and "there was nothing that makes me feel he was a crook." He noted Klein had been friends with the late Sen. Robert A.
