Cabinet members and panicked Congressional Democrats privately express fears that Clinton Presidency may be doomed, as White House mounts first orchestrated campaign to contain allegations of improper sexual involvement between Clinton and Monica S Lewinsky, former White House intern whom he may have told to lie under oath; Defense Sec William S Cohen and Treasury Sec Robert E Rubin are described as particularly distressed by accusations; Clinton's supporters fan out on morning television shows in drive to discredit special prosecutor, Kenneth W Starr; many seem defensive and uninformed, lacking any new information to defend President; White House officials are confronted with internal poll, showing Clinton's popularity has tumbled 15 points since allegations; say they are facing enormous pressure from Democrats in Congress, fearful that troubles may undermine their agenda, for Clinton to clear air and address allegations before State of the Union Message; Lewinskys' attorney says if she agrees to cooperate with special prosecutor, she will tell all; scores of witnessses, including high officials and junior staffers at White House, friends of Lewinsky and Linda Tripp, co-worker who made secret tapes of conversations with Lewinsky, have been interviewed or served with subpoenas ordering them before grand jury; White House lawyers, in maneuver to weaken Lewinsky and Tripp, weigh asking judge in Little Rock to move up trial date of Paula Corbin Jones's sexual misconduct lawsuit, scheduled to begin in May; say it would give them opportunity to cross-examine both women, perhaps making them less valuable in effort to help Starr; photo (L)
