Kennedy's Trade Bill Seen as Lone 1962 Highlight
Democrats view the 1962 Congress as disappointing overall though the trade expansion bill stands as a landmark. While the Senate cleared the measure 78 to none and the House approved in June, some leaders complain the White House overemphasized trade at the expense of health care for the aged. They cite investment tax credits and other laws like manpower retraining and a public works package as part of a mixed record to date.

Fish protein powder could boost US fish industry
Washington reports the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries asks Congress for 500000 to fund research on producing a concentrated fish protein powder. Director Donald L. McKernan says the US leads about 22 nations in developing fish flour and could double production in the Northwest Atlantic New England Pacific Gulf and Great Lakes regions. Scrap fish would gain value from 1 to 3 or 4 cents per pound if the concentrate is approved for human consumption by the FDA.

State and Labor Cooperation Key to Rutland Future
William I. Ginsburg, head of Rutland Corporation since 1959, told a legislative panel that restoring service on the strikebound Rutland Railway hinges on full state and labor union cooperation. He urged Gov. Keyser to act as agent to sell three key line segments near scrap value, noting ICC approval of abandonment. He called for tax abatements and modified labor demands to end featherbedding and loss of thousands of carloads, and said operation could be profitable with cooperation.
