For Congress Vote On Truman's Plan Washington, Dec. 26 (U.R) Congressional leaders agreed to day to press for action on Presi dent Truman's legislative pro gram as soon as congress re turns Jan. 14 from ita holiday recess. At the top of the list they placed the president's request for additional unemployment compensation, universal mili tary training, labor dispute fact finding boards and merger of the armed forces. Prompt action also was ex pected on legislation to rescind some $51,800,000,000 In war ap propriations. Congress passed such a bill before the recess but Mr. Truman vetoed it because of a rider to transfer U. S. employ ment service offices to state con trol. Congressional sources believ ed Mr. Truman would win his first veto challenge to congress. They felt the house might over ride the president and again pass the vetoed recission bill but that the senate would sus tain him.
