President Truman's legislative program nears its now-or-never test today as Congress begins its fourth month with showdowns approaching on a half dozen major issues.
The Senate is heading toward a mid-week vote on the administration's bill to authorize 15 months more of European Recovery aid.
Before the Senate next will be an odds-and-ends appropriations bill carrying funds for the T-V-A steam plant which Mr. Truman made a talking point in last year's presidential campaign.
Behind that measure on the Senate calendar are stacked up committee-approved bills reviving the New Deal's reciprocal trade agreements program, providing 810,000 housing units in a six-year drive and setting up a 300-million-dollar aid to education fund.
The House is getting ready to grapple with the European Recovery proposal. Meanwhile, it may get a decision from its rules committee on when and how it is to take up the administration substitute for the Taft-Hartley labor law. The substitute has cleared Labor committees in both houses without change.
