Tax Cut Next Year Is Unlikely in 1961 Congress
The 1961 Congress faces poor odds for an early tax cut despite talk of reform. The House Ways and Means Committee aims to draft a limited first-step bill by February, yet deep divisions on withholding, expense allowances, and business modernization hinder progress. Election campaigns loom for all House members and a third of the senators next year.

Kennedy to Push Four Explosive Issues in Next Congress
President Kennedy plans to press four major fights in the upcoming Congress. He will reintroduce general education aid, medical care for the aged, a Cabinet department of urban affairs with Robert Weaver likely to head it, and an extension of the reciprocal trade agreements act. Leaders expect hard battles, with medical care prospects brighter than school aid, while urban affairs and trade extend issues cross political lines.
