House Sustains Ike Veto Of Pollution Bill
The House upheld President Eisenhower's veto of a multi million dollar pollution control bill by a 249 to 137 vote, 22 short of the two thirds required. The measure would have authorized federal grants totaling 90 million dollars annually for sewage treatment plants, and was the 158th veto since 1953 with only one override prior. The decision does not change the existing law permitting up to 50 million dollars yearly for anti pollution programs.
