McHale Defeated for Senate Approval in Pennsylvania
Agriculture Secretary James McHale failed to secure the required 34 votes for a second term in the Pennsylvania Senate amid 24 against. Indications point to remaining in office until the 1976 legislative session ends. Critics cited a welfare tilt and clashes with U.S. Ag Secretary Earl Butz, with Senators calling him unqualified and not adequately representing farmers.
