...personal letters to union and management chiefs. He sent a pointed message to Congress, prodding it to speed up action on his legislative proposals. This week he expects to go into New Jersey and Virginia to provide some purely partisan support for Republican gubernatorial candidates. He also plans a speech outlining new directions in Latin American policy...

Nixon's unusually early announcement two weeks ago that he will deliver a major speech about the war on Nov. 3 has touched off intense speculation.

Burns has a reputation for doggedness in following just such anti-inflationary policies. Nixon himself, in a radio speech on inflation last week, said that the nation will have to accept some more "bitter medicine," and counseled consumers and businessmen to slow their spending...
