GATT Calls for Final Push: Arthur Dunkel, head of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, called for intensive talks beginning next Thursday, which he said would determine whether the Uruguay Round of trade negotiations would succeed or “merely be referred to as a missed opportunity.” Dunkel told the steering group of the 5-year-old talks that from Dec. 5, negotiators must “push forward in all areas with a view to achieving substantial results across the board.” A spokesman for the trade organization said Dunkel’s remarks meant that senior negotiators would be asked to come from their capitals to join the talks next Thursday.
