USDA approves official hot dog labeling for first time
Editorial notes reveal new USDA labeling rules making hot dog an official term starting January 1. The change preserves ingredients while banning all meat designation as misleading and sets fat up to 30 percent and water up to 10 percent plus seasoning. An attempt to exclude meat by products failed due to concerns over higher prices and access for needy consumers.

Labeling Hot Dogs With By-Products and Variety Meats
A guide reminding consumers that if hot dogs contain by products or nonmeat supplements the packages must carry explicit labels such as hot dogs with by products or hot dogs with variety meats and dry milk solids.

Year of Europe or patchwork NATO in 1974
As 1973 ends, diplomats debate if NATO can be repaired after strains from the Middle East war and oil politics. Kissinger heads to Brussels for ministerial talks while European allies demand greater U.S. consultation and respect. Some see a possible renewal of NATO, with France’s stance softening and U.S. diplomacy signaling renewed sensitivity to partners. 1974 may yet prove Europe’s year.

Venezuela Votes In Oil Impacted Presidential Race
Venezuelans head to the polls for a December presidential election seen as pivotal to hemispheric stability and U S energy supply. Fourteen candidates include Carlos Andres Perez and Lorenzo Fernandez, with former dictator Marcos Perez Jimenez remaining an influential factor among the poor.
