...April, leftist students threatened to "assassinate" Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey with pudding, flour and paint. A few weeks later, youthful demonstrators cursed the country's President to his face. This month, students exploded smoke bombs in the path of the Shah of Iran. The scenario sounded like a rerun from Berkeley, but the setting was a long way from California -or any other hotbed of U.S. student agitation. It was West Germany...
Approval of the fish flour by the Food and Drug Administration marked the end of a long struggle within the Government. Illinois' VioBin Corp. has been exporting fish flour since 1955, and in 1961 the company sought FDA approval for U.S. distribution. Though VioBin expected only a modest market in the U.S., where protein-deficient diets are not a major problem, U.S. approval promised to help convince countless purchasers overseas.

Sale in the U.S. will be permitted only in 1-lb. packages, which is expected to make it too complicated and expensive for food manufacturers to use.The ban on bulk distribution will not apply to exports...
...most enthusiastic endorsement of FPC came last week from Vice President Hubert Humphrey, speaking as chairman of a new national council on marine resources. He called the development of fish flour "a tremendous breakthrough in the war on hunger," and added: "It may be the greatest boon to mankind in helping to give him a sound body and a sound mind since, I guess, the beginning of time." To spread the wealth of fish flour, the U.S. will help three protein-starved nations, as yet unnamed, to set up pilot plants for its production...
