Democrats decry veto as jobs bill fails override
In Washington, Democrats lament the 277 to 145 override defeat of Ford's 5.0 billion jobs program aimed at 900,000 public- financed positions. Republicans debate substitute bills while House leaders warn of continued veto power and future legislative options. In New York's Syracuse area, Reps Hanley Walsh McHugh supported overriding, Mitchell flipped to sustain, as the vote reflected ongoing partisan tensions.
