The national legislative machine Is finally beginning to roil. Even since last January the professional pessimists, ana -i.. via nemihlicans. have hopn nrovine regularly that nothing much, good or bad would come out of this Dem ocratic congress. And for a long time, nothing much did 13. .f nniir the nictUfO i rhaneine. Not even Charlie Halleck of Indiana, the GOP House leader, is currently willing to label it a do-noth-iig Congress. That dots not maan that that all it coming up rotas for Prasidant Kannady and his Democratic congraition al leadari. But it's a fact that administration forcas no longar ara tinging tola' 1 Ik. Ulll. One thine that gave their cnirtc 9 lift, was the action of the House Ways and Means committee In drafting an ?U billion tax cut which has a r3 nhDnS AVn fit this late guuu '-'"" - date, of final enactment be fore Congress quits ior mc year. Vlfl, a The other sine qua non of this session, as iar as ie president is concerned, is a meaningful civil rights bill. As of today, committees on both sides of the capital are still tearing their hair over what to do about that. The problem is not so much what these committee mem bers want to see in the bill, but what Democratic strat egists figure they can pass through the House and-more important in this sase -through the Senate, where a southern filibuster will have to be broken. A congressional consensus on civil rights is yet to take shape. Many members for one thing still are looking for some clear reading of the na tional temper. Democratic leaders are satisfied, how ever, that something has to be done and will be done at this session of Congress to protest against race discrimination In various fields. The nuclear test ban treaty with Russia and Britain, another top priority item, is still under scrutiny but seems assured of ratification by the Senate, if tM. rinneresx should ad journ with nothing more than a tax cut, a civil ngms u. and the test ban under its belt, Democrats will call the ses sion a good one. But it begins to be obvious that, despite the slow start, a good bit more than that will have been done by the time the final bell sounds. Republicans naturally pro fess to see each passing week as further proof that Demo nrita i-n'i he trusted to man age the nation's affairs. They twit the Democrats dally. They demand to know what became ot Mr. Kennedy's promised leadership to get the country moving again. When Democratic House Leader Carl Albert of Okla homa was announcing the pro gram for last week, Rep. H. R. Gross (R-Iowa), a perpetual burr under the leadership sad dle, wanted to know what plans had been made to cele Vimt Phristmas. Albert said none, but In event the House is in session that late, he will put Gross in xhnrso of the Yule observa tions. Whereupon, Rep. Clar- enrn .T Rrown. Ohio, anotner Republican skilled with the needle, volunteered the hope that Albert would pick some V,nHv else. Gross is known hereabouts as the last of the big savers, and Brown said putting him in the Santa Claus role would surely mean a pretty skimpy Christmas for all. Despite this kind of con tinuing badinage over what of Congress, Albert lately has been able to keep the House members more or less busy, and at last major hurdles are being, or about to be, crossed.

Decision Expected in Air Service Case Spokane - (UPD - The initial decision in the Spokane area air service case is expected from Thomas L. Wrenn, Civil Aeronautics board examiner, sometime next month. The case-involves the man datory stop at Pendleton, Ore., by United Air Lines. George Shoemaker, Spo kane attorney, said he had re ceived no official indication when the decision would be announced, but if Wrenn fol lows his usual timetable it should be ready in September. Shoemaker represents local interests In efforts to have the so-called Pendleton restriction lifted.
