The bill was drafted in part to respond to consumer complaints about spiral-ing prices, and its sponsors proclaim it loudly as an effective remedy. Nor is it the only measure aimed at middle-class voters that Democrats have served up for vetos in the waning days of the 102nd Congress.

Bush rejected a bill to give many workers time off to deal with family emergencies, and another to liberalize abortion counseling available at federally funded family planning clinics. He was sustained in both of those, but Democrats seemed content. "This issue frames this campaign. Yes, it really is about who is for families," Rep. Patricia said last week as Republicans sustained the veto of the "family leave" bill.

Grandchildren Political stakes high in cable showdown MAX R. WIESENDANGER, 63, of NEPTUNE, died Saturday at the Jersey Shore Medical Center, Neptune. He was a mutuel clerk at the Mead-owlands, East Rutherford, retiring in 1986.

He was a member of the American Legion Post 346, Neptune and Local 137 Sports Arena Employees, Cherry Hill Township. He served in the Army during the Korean War.

But Bush's attitude toward the bill is not universal among members of his party. And his ability to sustain a veto remained in doubt yesterday.

Co-sponsored by Sen. John Danforth, the measure passed the Senate supported by 24 Republicans and opposed by only 18. "The cable legislation is strongly consistent with basic Republican principles," Danforth said yesterday. He said the measure emphasizes that competition is preferable to regulation, unregulated monopolies are not in the public interest and some regulation is necessary where there is no competition. The bill has been consistently supported by a majority of senators on both sides of the aisle, Danforth said.

"I think the president was poorly advised on this one," Rep. Chris Shays, said yesterday. USAir wants them to carry an unfair burden. Bob Byrum, president of the machinists local in Charlotte, N.C., has said that work-rule changes have been one of the main sticking points in the talks. USAir wants to use lower-paid workers to push jets to and from gates, in addition to machinists, he said.

The union fears that those workers eventually could replace the machinists. Industry analysts have said that USAir probably would not have much trouble finding mechanics or flight attendants if the company decides to replace striking workers. By JIM DRINKARD ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER WASHINGTON Of three dozen bills President Bush has vetoed, none is more loaded with potential political peril than his weekend rejection of re-regulation of cable TV rates. Behind in the polls and accused by Democrats of callousness to the hardship caused by a poor economy, Bush is gambling that he can prevail in Congress and persuade the voters that the bill was a misguided effort to curb cable rates. "He made a mistake," Arkansas Gov.

Bill Clinton said yesterday. "I would have signed it." The president has won every veto showdown so far, and White House strategists fear that a defeat now would be viewed as a sign of weakness with the election a month away. To forestall that, the president invited a group of Republican senators to the White House yesterday. But if elections are decided on pock- Bush might have held the high ground politically. When the president vowed at the Republican National Convention to veto spending bills that exceeded his request, Democrats quietly trimmed them to avoid being labeled big spenders.

The latest bill Bush vetoed would cap rates for basic cable service, open the door to competition from emerging programmers like home satellite services, and let broadcasters seek compensation for cable's use of their signals. In his veto message, the president called it "good intentions gone wrong," and said Congress had "fallen prey to special interests." "The simple truth is that under this legislation cable television rates will go up, not down," the president said. "Competition will not increase, it will stagnate. In addition, this legislation will cost American jobs and discourage investment in telecommunications." He said the bill would require cable BONAFIDE Chester of Point Pleasant, on Oct. 3, 1992.

Union changes its mind, will strike USAir today THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON Negotiators with USAir and the International Association of Machinists suspended contract talks early today, and thousands of ground personnel proceeded with plans for a strike against the airline.

Both sides initially agreed early today to delay the strike deadline until 7 a.m. tomorrow, so that they could continue negotiations, said union spokesman Jim Conley. But the union later changed its mind and said it would go through with the strike as anticipate. "They decided it was too late to get "by a nearly unanimous vote." A strike would affect about 8,300 machinists union members, that perform a number of ground support roles in addition to maintenance. USAir is asking all employees for wage, benefit and work rule concessions.

The Arlington, airline has lost more than $700 million during the past two years and is seeking approval for a partnership arrangement with British Airways that would strengthen its financial standing. The pilots union already has agreed to concession and nonunion employees have made concessions. The machinists, however, have argued that.
