Ford Scores Policy Victory as House Backs Veto
The House sustained President Ford's veto of a 5.3 billion emergency jobs bill by 277 to 145, short of the two thirds needed to override. The measure would have funded about 900,000 jobs but was criticized for adding 3.3 billion in excess spending and boosting a near 100 billion annual deficit. Some Democrats and Republicans urged a more modest alternative, while the Senate did not vote on the veto.

Missing Heir Scheme May Involve Fraud
West Virginia Acting Labor Commissioner Joseph H. Mills warned that a "missing heir scheme" is running by mail in the state and beyond. He cited California Probate Document Service as sending official looking forms to people with the same last name, offering estate documents for $9.88, though real papers cost under $5. The scheme, Mills said, targets unlocated heirs of Los Angeles probates, exploiting gullibility and creating potential fraud.
