Most observers doubt a quick tax cut will avert recession but the speech may urge stand-by authority for tax cuts and a public works program if needed. Congress signals opposition to deficit-expanding measures during the election waning weeks.

London doctors for Dr Robert A Soblen press another high court filing to obtain a writ of habeas corpus and block Henry Brooke's deportation order to the United States. Soblen, a 61 year old psychiatrist, fled New York after posting bail, then harmed himself to compel transfer, with Israel later delivering him toward the United States under U.S. marshal escort.

Kennedy Faces Tight Campaign Tradeoffs in Senate Races
President Kennedy may need to gloss over defections from his New Frontiers program as he campaigns for Democratic Senate and House candidates.
