One of the biggest obstacles fell lost week when the slow-moving Senate used only three days to debate and pass the bill authoris ing a huge foreign aid program.

After a routine session tomorrow the Senate will resume work Wednesday. Legislation scheduled for Wednesday includes a bill to authorise the transfer of destroyer escorts to other nations and another to authorise a 16,800.000,000 mili tary construction program. McFarland also wants to get action this week, at a Saturday session if necessary, on the armed < Services appropriations bill, which is still in committee. TAX BILL SET The tax bill, still In the finance committee. Is on the program for next week. The committee is un likely to recommend much more than 96.000,000,000 In new levies.
