ARBOGAST WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-j'P)rAdministration congressional leaders moved today to break a congressional bottleneck holding back President Truman's legislative program. They want action, and they want it early, on many of more than a score of proposals the president has sent to congress in recent months only to have them sidetracked.

But he insisted that "the heat" is not being applied. Half a dozen presidential pro posals are in a position to be dis posed of by the house in short order, but when the senate will get around to them depends on how soon the anti FEPC filibuster ends. Two White House proposals come before the house next week. Te Consider State Control The next two- days of business in that branch have been set aside for consideration of legislation re turning the United StaHes employ ment service offices to state con trol on July 1. 1947. President Truman wants the USES retained in the federal gov eminent, which took lt over dur ing the war emergency, until mid- 1947. House republicans, aldng with a group of southern demo crats, will try to return it to the states one year sooner. They sue ceeded once before but lost their fight when the president pocket vetoed an appropriation cancel lation measure to which the USES proposal has been added. Up for Vote Wednesday The cancellation bill, minus the USES amendment, comes before the house for a vote Wednesday Then will come what well may develop into the hottest fight of the session a bill to set up fact finding boards to handle major labor controversies.
