I5EV A week. Slated for consideration Tues- day, it 1r one of five important matters House leaders hope to dispose of during the week. Others are legislation to repeal pensions for congressmen, to set up a war damage insurance pro.-grato create a womens auxiliary corps to aid the military, and to extend the life of the special committee investigating activities. The rules committee' has set aside four hours for debate on the war powers bill, which would give 15 extraordinary grants of authority to federal agencies for the duration. The most controversial elau.se in the proposal would let Federal Reserve Banks purchase direct government obligations from the treasury instead of on the open market as now required. Opponents contend this authori-zatlo- n would permit too much market manipulation. Senate-approve- d HOLIDAY MONDAY Also in controversy is a pro- -' vision giving defense agencies broad jrowers to inspect books and accounts of contractors and to require them to be brought to Washington if necessary. The congressional pension repealer may be considered 'ahead of the war powers bill, since it was tacked on to a minor naval measure by the Senate and can be considered as soon as it reaches tho House, ' Leaders said the House, margin for repeal might exceed the 7n to 5 vote in the REMEMBER CUT- - .
