man and Rep. Henry S. Reuss, of the Banking Committee, both new chairmen, are pushing their committees "to faster action -on the economic legislation than on any such proposals in the past. Appropriations subcommittees are working their way through lists of proposed cut-? backs and postponements subf mitted by Ford. The consensus is that nothing like the $17 billion in reductions, he advocated will be approved an outcome that would swell the prospective deficit beyond the nearly $52 billion forecast by Ford.

Ford already has received one rebuff on a spending-cut proposal. Most Republicans joined Democrats on Tuesday in propelling through -the House," 374 to 38, a bill nullifying proposed increases in the cost of food stamps to low-income recipients. The" Senate is ex- pected-to act soon. But as the House prepares to leave onjjs first recess of the new Congress, substantial areas "of the Democratic draft program remain in sketchy form. Leaders emphasized that staff work will continue while the members are at home, but some slipping of schedules ap- -peared likely.

The Education and Labor: Committee, for example, would have to move fast to meet its goal to send an expanded public -service jobs bill to the House in February. The Public-. Works Committee has a little more time, but still a difficult goal to produce legislation speeding up construction of public works by mid-March. Farther down the line are. an array of energy conservation measures and a decision as to whether standby controls on wages and prices are necessary.
