Pearson, without naming any one, said the reporter falsely claimed the Senate State and Fed eral Affairs Committee met se cretly last Friday in Pearson s of fice. David replied he. had tried to get in to the meeting but was waved out by Pearson. The meeting was to consider the 5-million-dollar higher edu cation budget, which Pearon thought too big. Pearson also told the Senate there was not anything unusual in his sending an appropriation bill to a committee other than the Joint Ways and Means Commit tee.

Lausche of Ohio, deserted par ty ranks to vote with 28 Repub licans to uphold the President. Six Republicans joined 58 Democrats to upset the chiel executive. should tne House toilow me Senate pattern, the bill would be come law despite the President's objection. He contended that it violated sound policy by giving independent power to an olficial subordinate to his Cabinet officer boss. The head of the Rural Elec trification Administration is subor dinate to Benson. House Speaker Sam Rayburn ID-Tex predicted the veto would be overridden. ' Rep. Melvin Price (D-Ill), spon sor of the House measure, said he was. "confident we have the votes to override. But House Republican Leader Charles A. Halleck of Indiana predicted that although the vote will be close, the veto wilt be sus tained. The House Republican Pol icy Committee voted Tuesday to do what it could along that line. On , the basis of the April 15 House vote mat sent tne Dili to Ihe President, the House should override the veto. That vole was 254-131. three short of the two- thirds needed to override.

Most of the absentee Democrats reported ly favored the bill and will be on hand for Thursday s vote. Republicans in both the Senate and the House assailed the vetoed bill as "spite legislation" aimed at Benson by Democrats who long have criticized his farm programs. The measure actually would leavf the REA under Benson's control for general administrative purposes, but it would give the administrator, rather than tne sec retary, the final word on loans.

In that period he turned down, by either direct or pocket veto, 137 bills.
