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. I

the parade was' a disappointment

Our military forces. Malinov-
sky said, "are ready to cive a
destructive rebuff to any who try

The theme seemed to stress de
