Benser Resolution
 Seen Without Force

Efforts by Alderman Richard Benson (R) leader of the COP minority to have the current valu- ation estimate set aside in prefer ence to the 1944 valuations were generally conceded as fruitless today by city officials and legal authori- ties.
 Aldro Jenks, chief assessor, again reiterated that he ''would not set aside the valuations of the Horan Company on any overall basis, ," even though empowered to do so.
 '"The only adjustments I will make will be in individual cases where appeals are made and proven to be justified" he said again to- day.
 MT. Bensen said that he and the Republican Aldermen would present a resolution at the next meeting asking for suspension of any irn- mediate 1945 Grand List, and, in- stead, ask that the 1946 budget and tax rate be maintained on the basis of the 1944 Grand List. The latter was approximately $43 million dol- lars less than the proposed Grand List of $132, million dollars.
 Proposal 'UnsOund'
 City authorities yesterday termed the proposal as "unsound" point ing out that a possibility of mil- lion and one-half dollar deficit oc. curing.

Washington, Jan. i7-CUP)-Re- publican House Leader Joseph ". Martin, Jr., Mass. today put the labor problem at the top of the Republican list for quick Congress sional action.
 Democratic Congressional lead- CTS did not appear to be impressed by general Republican demands for more speedy consideration of the problem. At the present pace of procedure neither the House nor Senate is likely to have a chance to debate specific legislation before Feb. 1.
 Martin told questioners he be- lieved President Truman already had sufficient powers to deal with the situation if he chose to exer- else them firmly and fairly.
