This small exercise in seman-ling tics was a reflection of the intense interest both here and in Canberra, where Rogers attended the one-day Anzus council meeting Friday. Australia has 8,000 men in Vietnam and New Zealand 500.

Unless they can go before their electorates with a promise to get some of the boys home by Christmas or soon afterwards their chances could be dimmed.
