(AP) a small, rural northeast Louisiana parish (county), a state judge has lit the fuse to a smoldering federal-state civil rights fight over Negro voting just eight days before the state's Democratic primary.

issued a restraining order Friday- aimed at U.S. Disl. Judge Edwin F. Hunter who ruled last week that 28 Negroes from Fast Carroll Parish, where no Negro bas voted in 40 years, were qualified to vote. Hunter's action was the first, in the nation under the Civil Rights Act.

which give? judges the power to register qualified voters if there is no other way to alleviate discriminatory conditions. East Carroll's voter registrar, Cecil Manning, resigned June 14 and has not been replaced. Federal attorneys say the voter registrar office here has been closed ever since U.S. Dist. Judge Ben C.

Dawkins Jr. issued an in-; junction May 30 that forbade dis- crimination against prospective' Negro voters. Voelker's order claimed that 1 the federal judge overstepped judicial bounds and performed actions of the executive, rather than the judicial branch, of govern; ment. Issued just hours after it was asked by the state, the state court order has the apparent effect of blocking final action to register the Negroes, set for Monday by the federal judge.

APPROV Manner I Launch Delayed One Day Fantastic Designs Identify Warplanes By ALTON SLAGLK AP Newsfeatures Writer The shape of the future is seen in today's fighting aircraft.

Sleek, shiny their very structure hinting at the strength and speed within their bodies, these planes are a far cry from the big, gawky machines which lumbered in the air during World War II and dropped bombs that by today's nuclear standards would hardly rale as healthy firecrackers. Trim and slim as a young lass In a bikini, today's aircraft are whittled into fantastic shapes and are packed with complex electronic gear. F. G. Swanborough has taken note of this fact in a new book pubb'shed and distributed by the Taplinger Publishing Co.

of New York. Called "Combat Aircraft of the World," the reference work contains 350 photographs and performance details on more than 60 of the most significant warplanes in service or under development for the air forces of the United States, Great Britain, the Soviet Union, France, Canada, Italy, India and Sweden. Some of I he planes have the. same old look. But if you haven't been watching what hot pilots are flying these days, be prepared for a shock.

WATCHING BUSINESS Kennedy Delays Tax Cut Request By LAHRV OSIl'S WASHINGTON' President Kennedy "'ill wait for re- porls on business activity before deciding whether to ask Congress for a tax cut this year.

Officials said Friday that Kennedy will delay the decision until mid-August, by which time most of the reports and economic indexes for July will he available. The President and his economic advisers met late last week and looked over the figures for June, the first full month following the stock market price skid of late May. These figures, including retail sales, industrial production, unemployment, and personal income, were on the disappointing side. They were capped Friday when the President's Council of Economic Advisers reported that the gross national product (CNpi for the second quarter of ihe year was running at an annual rale of $552 billion. This is a record high but well below the hopes and fore- casts of (he administration early this year.

Predictions of a balanced budget had been based on tax collections on a GNP rate of $570 billion by the end of 1962. Economists figured that to reach this figure the second quarter rate should have been about $565 billion $13 billion more than what was reported Friday. Kennedy and his advisers reportedly want more information to determine whether the June figures represented a lull in the recovery from the 1960 recession or a leveling off that could presage a new recession. Calls for a quick tax cut to stimulate the economy have cume from both labor and business spokesmen in recent weeks. Kennedy has said he will propose a tax cut along with tax reforms next year and the won- required a tax reduction before the present Congress adjourns.
