House Absenteeism Blocks Congress Adjournment Continued From Page One It exceeded the goal of $10 billion it set for new money cuts in the tax increase-spendin- g cut law enacted earlier this year. That package measure directed the President, with the aid of Congress, to cut government spending this year by at least shelved bills for election reforms, congressional reorganization and for free broadcast of political debates after starting them toward enactment. It took no action on administration proposals to lower the voting age to 18 years, extend the reciprocal trade program, create a new program of medical care for infants and their mothers, $6 billion. and strengthen enforcement powers of Appropriation cuts made in the Equal Employment Opportunities any year are not reflected Commission.

Perhaps President Johnson's most galling reversal of the year was the Senate's refusal to consider his nomination of Ab eFortas to be chief justice. A Republican-Southern Democratic filibuster caused the President to reluctantly withdraw the nomination. Never before, historians said, had the Senate refused to consider a major nomination although it has rejected some In the past after debating them.

After balking more than half a year over the Presidents request for additional revenue, Congress finally yielded. But it tied some strings to the pack age deal.

Its reductions totaled $12 billion, one of the biggest cuts being in foreign aid funds for which the President wanted $2.9 billion. He received only $1.75 billion. Congress even cut $5.2 billion from new Defense Department funds, but the $71.8 billion it voted was the largest in history for a single money bill. Congressional fiscal experts estimated that the effect of the appropriations cuts would be a forced reduction in spending of about $3.7 billion, leaving it up to the President to find ways to cut $2.3 billion more to attain the required $6 billion rector, standing left; Jackson, Administrators 242 South Main utwmimd shoes and elderly persons in the work force, he added. j n of "The American women continues to be the most tragic and most senseless waste of this century, Dr. Fletcher said. that many Explaining women return to the work force after raising a family, Dr. Fletcher said: f It is at least as important to provide job training and retraining for women about to the work force as it is for women about to begin their first job. t Wasted Talents , under-utilizatio- "If we do hot provide oppor- tunity for this retraining, the talents of many able and intelligent women will never be utilized," he said.
