JFK Program Given Chance
President Kennedy faces a slim margin as he seeks action in the new Congress. He previews proposals at a White House session before the opening of the 88th Congress. Leaders expect no surprises, with possible renewed push to eliminate state literacy tests in voting. House Democrats weigh keeping the Rules Committee at 15 seats to maintain control. Senate liberals meet stiff opposition to two thirds rule changes, while Everett Dirksen signals GOP resistance.
