At the same time Reuther sought WASHINGTON IP President Eisenhower reportedly has been advised by Republican congressional leaders to make a personal fight for his legislative program, now bogged down in Congress. The President was said to hays been told at a conference with the leaders yeslerday lhat unless White House pressure is exerted to speed up action, many ot his proposals; may be (lumped by the Democratic-controlled session. One of the conferees said Eisenhower listened attentively but gave no indication whether he would act on th advice. In lhe past Eisenhower haj shown reluc lance lo crack lh whip at Congress, i The GOP chieftains were reported lo feel lhat, although thc President's popularity may hav declined somewhat because of tha surprisingly large budget he sub- milled, he retains a high level of personal presllgc lhat might be influential in pushing Congress into action.

Blockaded behind lhe civil rights measure Is Eisenhower's proposal for federal school construction niri. Many senators feel that nothing will he done about the school bill until there Is action on civil righls. The Iheory Is a It a civil rights bills is passed by Congress, no successful attempt will be made to attach to the school bill on amendment--such as that which killed It last year--to bar U.

The school hill, which would, call for an a of 185 million, dollars in Iho fiscal year begin-' nuig July 1, also has been caught 0 squeeze of congressional efforts lo cut the President's 571,800,000,000 spending budget.

Foreign aid proposals face two. lengthy fights. The first will come over a measure to authorize the program and define Its scope. This will be followed by a certain bat- lle over the amount of new money actually lo be made available for overseas assistance. With more than three months of the session gone, only two major hills have been enacted.

They I are the Middle East resolution and the measure continuing high business taxes until June 30, 1958.
