Steamtrain's fate in Vermont hangs on committee vote
Steamtrain prospects in Bennington remain uncertain as the Vermont Bicentennial Transportation Committee weighs a Monday meeting and a Labor Day run. Debate centered on debt, with costs projected to reach 842000 by Sept. 6, and lawmakers warned of potential credit damage if the project ends. Steamtrain president Sterns Jenkins urged continuation, but the Joint Fiscal Committee refused new borrowing, leaving final bills and payments unsettled.

Kissinger condemns North Korean guards murder of American officers
Secretary of State Kissinger called the beating deaths of two U.S. Army officers by North Korean guards a premeditated act of murder. He warned against impunity and said Washington would seek explanations and reparations while increasing U.S. readiness in Korea. The incident began over a dispute about pruning a tree near a guard post. The Joint Chiefs ordered higher alert, canceled leaves, boosted patrols, and deployed two Air Force squadrons from Kadena and Mountain Home to Korea.
