Despite the gloom, Secretary of State Dean Rusk reiterated the U.S. desire for talks and indirectly asked North Vietnam to respond with some signal that it was ready to negotiate. Rusk will get a fresh chance to persuade the Soviet Union to use its influence with Hanoi in arranging a peace confernce. The secretary of state conferred in Washington Friday with Soviet Ambassador Anatoly F. Dobrynin, and the Russian diplomat announced that Foreign Minister Andrei Gromy ko would meet with Rusk in New York toward the end of the month. Gromyko arrives in New York Monday for the opening session of the U.N. General Assembly. In a related development, Sen. Joseph S. Clark, D-Pa, said Friday that U.S. Ambassa dor Arthur J.

North Vietnam has said many times that the United Nations has no right "to interfere” in the conflict on any level. At a news conference Friday, Rusk and other U.S. officials firmly discounted the accuracy of French news agency reports from Hanoi that North Vietnam was showing signs of moving toward peace talks.
