After it was fully in orbit, three arms carrying spherical tanks of high-pressure nitrogen swung outward, and small nitrogen jets reduced the spin to a steady...

This week's lead-off witness, Commerce Secretary Luther Hodges, is expected to point out that of last year's $15 billion in U.S. imports, $9 billion worth consisted of raw materials that actually helped to make U.S. jobs. Afterward, Labor Secretary Arthur Goldberg will stress that the Kennedy bill provides for Government "adjustment assistance" to companies, managers and workers who are damaged by trade liberalization. Also going up to testify: Treasury's Dillon, Agriculture's Freeman, Defense's McNamara, and free-trading spokesmen for everyone...
