Demos Jolted On Veto; Eye Spending Measures WASHINGTON (AP)-Jolted by their inability to upset an Eisen hower veto, congressional Demo crats took a new look today at Ihcir plans to push through some big-spending legislation. They may have to mark down sharply the price tags on some pending bills or risk vetoes which they now have little hope of over riding. "They will have to be a little more reasonable aller what hap pened yesterday in the H o u s e. commented House Republican Leader Charles A. Halleck of In diana. What happened was a double reverse for the Democrats and a dual victory lor President Eiseri bower. The House refused by vote of 280-146 to override Eisenhower veto of a bill which would have taken from Secretary of Agricul ture Ezra Taft Benson his power to refuse loans lo rural telephone ana electric cooperatives. the 274 Democrats and 6 Re publicans who voted to override fell four voles short of the re quired two thirds. Four Demo crats joined 142 Republicans i voting lo support Eisenhower position. lhe Senate had voted 64-29 to upset the veto. It was the 138th bill veloed by the President. He has never had a veto overridden. ' Democrats had hoped to slap down Benson and at the same time display their ability to work their own will on legislation de spite the President's objections. Facing probable vetoes if they ever reach the White House in their present form are bills call ing for heavy federal outlays for airport development, housing, community facilities and aid for depressed areas. "We may have lo cut these bills down if we want anything at all other than campaign issues," a top House Democrat commented privately.
