Louis Corbin, 33, wins runoff for Duval County Court judge in Jacksonville amid debate on blindness. He lost sight at age six in a shotgun accident and will begin office in January. Opponent Sven Lamb Jr. argued a coroner should view bodies. Corbin says death causes are determined by medical examiners or doctors. Corbin relies on a secretary for mail and research, braille files, and plans braille rules for various cases. If a case exceeds his capacity, he would trade it to another judge.

Nixon vows no presidential tax increase in 1973 aims to curb spending
President Nixon told reporters in the Oval Office there will be no presidential tax increase in 1973 but Congress may force one through overspending. He defended his stance on Viet Nam talks as in a sensitive stage and said his campaign travel will wait until Congress adjourns to fight rising spending. He promised vetoes against last minute legislation exceeding budget goals and defended his record amid corruption charges by Democrats. He cited the Watergate probe, grain deal questions, and a billion dollar potential boost to farm income while stressing relief for elderly property taxes and opposition to court ordered busing.
