Monsanto plans open new era with major Brazoria plant
Monsanto Chemical Co will build a large facility on a 3000 acre Chocolate Bayou site near Alvin Texas, featuring the world’s largest ethylene plant. Opening in 1962, it will employ about 400 and payroll around 3 million dollars annually. The project, designed with Bechtel and Texas contractors, will dredge Chocolate Bayou and boost local growth while supplying ethylene, benzene, naptha and other hydrocarbons for plastics and chemicals. Local resources include natural gas from Monsanto reserves to fuel the plant and support the Texas City operation.

Britain's Labor Party Feud Undermines UK Politics
Britain's Labor Party is riven by internal feuds as moderates and leftists clash over nuclear policy and alignment with the West. The struggle weakens leadership, risks Westminster control, and mirrors social shifts toward middle-class Britain amid global Cold War tensions with the United States and NATO allies.

Oil policy debate stalls amid Kennedy transition
Industry spokesmen expect oil recommendations to reach Congress late 1961 or 1962, while a temporary one-cent gasoline tax expires June 30 unless extended. Depletion tax relief faces opposition, and Kennedy aides are unlikely to act quickly. A new bill drafting federal price regulation relief for natural gas surfaces, but past presidents vetoed similar efforts. The scene is tangled with White House support needed for any third bill amid Cuban unrest.
