Veto Rejected by House on Federal Pay Raise Vote
The House failed to override President Eisenhower on the federal pay rise bill. 256 Democrats and 84 Republicans voted to sustain, while 56 Republicans and 13 Democrats joined in overriding. The measure would raise pay for 535,000 postal workers and 1 million white collar staff, with increases from 350 to 1500 dollars annually, effective on the first pay day after enactment. The president had vetoed as unfair and pressured, while offering a modest alternative.
