Kennedy to Ask Tax Cut and Curb Spending Pledges
President Kennedy outlines a 1963 tax bill with three tests: early and substantial tax cuts, measures to boost consumer spending and investment, and improved equity and simplicity. He argues for a temporary deficit to spur growth, defends foreign aid, and says defense and space spending will rise while domestic programs stay flat. He warns against excessive spending or delay, and vows to send the proposal with the 1964 budget next month.

Rocket Plane Stability Test Goes Risky at Edwards AFB
Air Force Maj. Robert White piloted the X15 on its 75th flight at Edwards AFB California in a high risk stability test. The craft with the ventral tail removed pitched the nose up to 95 degrees during a plunge to evaluate stability without the lower tail. A dry lubricant addition to the landing flap reduced friction promising a 50 percent rise in mechanism power. Flight reached 3 818 mph and 141 000 feet in about ten minutes.

Hoffa Hearings Reveal Cash Advances and Test Fleet Ties
Hoffa testified that he sometimes used money his wife advanced and would repay her, and saw no issue in taking advances rather than borrowing. The government linked Test Fleet dividends to Hoffa’s oil and coal ventures, while documents suggested Mrs Hoffa owned most of J&H assets. Hoffa contradicted earlier statements about JEH Sales & Equipment, and Fitzgerald’s role as Teamsters lawyer was questioned as the case nears jury deliberation.

Relay satellites aim to extend Telstar’s space relay network
Relay operate its transponders auto matic radio relay devices transmitting telemetry data on radiation measurements. The satellite’s mission extends the knowledge from Telstar by relaying radio telegraph voice and television signals between Europe and the United States. Telstar ceased after four months, and Relay, a low altitude satellite, would require about 40 vehicles for global coverage. NASA plans medium and Syncom high orbit tests, with three stationary Syncoms enabling worldwide links. A private U.S. corporation will operate the network once the approach is chosen, and Relay’s testing schedule included a December 19 international live Christmas program linking the United States with eight European countries.
