1 1 f I ,1 1 1 Congress Returns For Election Year Session With Labor Strife, Demobilization High On Docket WASHINGTON, Jan. 14 (P) The 78th congress began its sec ond session at noon (EST) today with a request to its leaders by President Truman to expedite action on his unfinished legis lative program. Acting House Speaker McCor- mack of Massachusetts told re porters the president declared at a wnue tiouse conierence wun congressional leaders that he was "very anxious" for early action on his legislative program. McCormack said the entire program was discussed at the White House in a general way, and the strike situation was re viewed. He quoted the president as be lieving early action imperative on his proposal for a law setting up fact-finding boards to handle major labor controversies and providing for a 30-day cooling off period before strikes take ef fect Senator Eastland (D-Miss.) told reporters he would seek im mediate senate action on the fact finding legislation asked by the . president. "We've either got to get out some strike legislation or sur render the country to the CIO, he said. As the lawmakers reconvened, Mr. Truman sent them a recom mendation that appropriations and contract authorizations be cut back by $5,021,887,483. This would be addition to $50,345,409,169 in recissions ap proved by congress near the close of the last session. v . Strike Discussion Eastland said he planned a dis cussion of strikes on the senate floor. . . . . Charles E. Wilson, president oi uenerai Motors corporation. and R. J. Thomas and Walter Reuther, leaders of the CIO Auto Workers union, had been sched uled to testify on. the fact-finding bill before the senate labor committee this forenoon. All three informed the senate group they were unable to be present because, of the . negotia tions between them. Wilson asked to appear later. McCormack told reporters the president also is anxious for prompt action on legislation deal ing with the United States em ployment service. Congress passed a law last year return ing the employment offices to state control in 100 days but the president vetoed it A bill to retain federal con trol until the middle of 1947 as requested by the president will be considered by the house labor committee Thursday. Peacetime Session - The first full peacetime ses--cion since 1941 finds congress somewhat "on the spot" with a mountain of work ahead, its White House relations strained to the breaking point and the voters displaying a keener-than-1 usual Interest In Capitol Hill ac tivities. For this is a congressional elec tion vear. All 43o house and 3z of the 96 senate seats will be filled in November. Hence polit ical considerations will dictate many congressional actions. Tomorrow senate and house members will hear in person from Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower and Adm. Chester W. Nimitz an explanation of demobilization policy. The lawmakers hope the informal meeting in the con gressional library will pacify complaining GI's abroad and their relatives and friends at home. Committees of both branches have arranged to resume hear ings shortly on legislation asked by Mr. Truman to set up fact finding boards backed by law to handle major labor contro versies. These hearings were Kidnapers Get Prison Terms BOISE, Idaho, Jan. 14 (iP) District Court Judge Charles Koelsch sentenced two men to prison terms here Saturday on charges of kidnaping. William Blinkensop was sen tenced to a term of one to 25 years and William Graves to a term of iu to years in the state prison. j The two men, who allegedly forced two other men in a taxi-i cab here December 21 turned i their earlier plea of innocence to a plea of guilty, after questioning ! ny James w. tiiaine, prosecuting attorney. Roy R. Valkenburg, third member of the trio charged with the kidnaping of Thomas W. Hume, Tacoma, and James S. Hensley, Seattle, will be tried be fore a jury January 22. He pleaded guilty at his arraign ment last week. Hensley and Hume told offi cers earlier that the three men forced them into a taxicab in an alley in downtown Boise the night of December 21, and drove them toward the railroad sta tion. halted last month, despite the chief executive's request for action before Christmas. Congress currently is cool to the plan, and strong sentiment is development instead for stiff union-control legislation. Ready for house action is a bill to penalize unions striking in viola tion of contracts and to curb union political activities. If Mr. Truman has any new ideas on the labor situation, they probably will be transmitted to congress in tne annual suue-ot- the union message scheduled to be delivered Thursday. Con gressional leaders say they be lieve the president win suck to his guns and insist on his original proposal. A second presidential utter ance, the annual budget message expected next Monday, will go far toward shaping congressional fiscal policies. There have been mounting demands tor economy since the war and its unpre cedented spending ended with the natibnal debt soaring toward the S300.0U0.000.000. mark. Coupled with the budget win be the 1946 tax program. What that win be, only time win ten. But right now there is growing clamor for reduction or elimi nation of war-levied excise and luxury levies. No further cuts in income taxes are sighted im mediately. Wife Out-Judos Ju-Jitsu Spouse LANCASTER. Pa Jan. 14 () Nineteen-year-old Mrs. David N.
