The Waterbury Democrat., 1946-01-14

tContinued from Page T. sion, here are the high spots of the immediate congressional program:
 Tuesday: Unofficial joint session in the Library of Congress to hear demobilization plans and problems explained by Gen. Dwight D. Eisen- hover, Army Chief of Staff, and Fleet Admiral Chester w. Nimitz, Chief of Naval Operations
 Thursday: Receive MT. Truman's annual message on the state of the Union.
 Next Monday: Receive the budget message.
 Clerks to Read Messages
 The two messages will be read to Congress by clerks. MT. Truman told the nation in a broadcast ad- dress Jan. 3 that his annual mes sage this week would deal eXten- sively with foreign affairs.
 This is a general election year in which all House seats and one-third of those in the Senate are at stake. Republicans believe they have a real chance to gain control of the House. Mir TrumanS ability to lead his own party also is in the balance as House and Senate con- vene. Party leaders have indicated their hope to obtain a June ad- journment this year to permit members to campaign. But the list of unfinished business is long one. A June adjournment is not likely unless Congress decides to deal with a considerable part of MT. Tru- mans program by ignoring it.
 A shower of labor. demobilization and to her bills is expected this week. The Administration is hope ful that the appearance of Eisen- hover and Nimitz before members of Congress will check arbitrary ac- tion. On the labor front no actior is likely until it is known whether there will be a steel strike.
 To Recall Appropriations
 First business of the House nex week will be a measure to recall wartime appropriations aggregat- ing $51 BOO, ,O00,0 900. The sum wa! rescinded last session. MT. Truman vetoed the bill in protest against a rider which would have returned the United States Employment Service to state control.
 Tn his broadcast Jan. 3 the PreSi- dent boldly challenged Congress ional committees for delaying legls- lation which he regards as essential to recovery.
 The status of the principal mea- sures now pending is as follows: In the Senate
 PRESIDENTIAL SUCCESSION: The House approved a measure which awaits action by the Senate Judiciary Committee
 FAIR EMPLOYMENT PRAC- TTCES COMMITTEE: A Senate fllibuster against permanent legis- lation is almost inevitable. Sen. Dennis Chavez, (D.-N. M), said he would seek early Senate considera- ton.
 MINIMUM WAGES: Stalled in Senate Education and Labor Com mittee.
 In the House
 UNIVERSAL MILITARY TRAIN ING: Hearings will continue before the House Military Affairs Com mittee which is expected to report bill next month.
 A csf7fN TTAyrTAN MT COMPENSATION: A Senate-ap- proved bill remains stalled in the House Ways and Means Committee.
 FAIR EMPLOYMENT PRAC- TICES ACT: The House Rules Committee has stalled this one.
 MINIMUM WAGES: House La- Dor Committee has held hearings but has taken no other action.
 CONTROL OF ATOMIC ENER- GY: House action delayed pending & report by the Senate Atomic Energy Committee.
 MT. Truman's full employment bill is stymied in conference be- tween representatives of the House and Senate. The conferees are eX- pected to meet Wednesday in an ef- fort to compromise differences be- tween bills passed by the House and by the Senate.
 Still to be presented to this ses. sion for consideration are proposal; for limited tax revision, ratification of the British loan agreement anc the broadening of the Social Secur. ity Act to cover millions of addi'
