In addition to the interest

sists Of:
/. President Eisenhower's
veto Of the second $l.l billion
public works bill, which the
House today voted to override.
The Senate scheduled a vote
later today.
2. The final cleanup appro-

lion for foreign aid and about
$400 million for other miscel-
laneous purposes.
3. A two-year extension Of
the Civil Rights Commission
which will be sought as a rider
on the aid appropriation bill.
Both houses also expect to
agree on a new authorization
for Federal aid to cities TO
eliminate river pollution. The
Senate passed this bill last
night after cutting down the
House figures from 500 mil
lion to $50 million a year over
a 10-year period. The House
must act on this change, or
send the bill to conference.
Congress probably could have
finished its work this week ex-
cept for the one-man campaign
of Senator Morse, Democrat of
Oregon, for strict enforcement
of the rules, including q re-
lquirement that the foreign aid
appropriation bill be pending
in the Senate before 1t can be
considered.
This means the debate on
both foreign aid and the civil
rights amendment cannot start
