12 ITHACA JOURNAL Saturday, Sept. 11, 1982 Override- Continued from Page 1 Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) and Paul Lax-alt (R-Nev.) back to Washington, where both voted to sustain the veto. Reagan stayed behind in Utah, campaigning for Hatch. According to Baker, Reagan also dispatched Interior Secretary rangements for Laxalt and Hatch. One Air Force T-39 jet picked Laxalt up in Reno and flew to Ogden, Utah to pick up Hatch.

Together, the two men flew to Nebraska, where a second T-39 was waiting to fly them to Washington. Democrats quoted unnamed Air Force personnel as saying the total fuel cost, including return flights for the jets, was $11,200. were threatened with layoffs next week if the veto were sustained. "A vote not to override is a vote for layoffs," Hatfield said. Friday's vote came after a plea from Baker for continuation of a "partnership" with the president to control federal spending.

Senate Democrats, meanwhile, made an issue of the special ar James Watt on 30 minutes notice to Oregon to replace Sen. Malcolm Wallop (R-Wyo.) at a speaking engagement. Wallop flew all night and voted to support Reagan's position. Overall, the measure was $1.9 billion below the amount Reagan requested, but called for $918 million more on domestic programs than Reagan wanted and $2.1 billion less for defense. It also contained $350 million for the administration's new Caribbean Basin assistance program, money that many officials predicted Reagan would not win in a second bill if the veto stuck.

The measure also contained about $6 billion needed for the government to meet its payrolls next Wednesday.

The New Yorkers' vote reflected Reagan's general loss of GOP support for his veto of $14.2 billion in fiscal 1982 spending. The bill includes more than $100 million for various programs in New York state, and several New York Republicans who opposed the president cited those programs.

Nineteen of 21 Democrats with Reps. Charles Schumer and Theodore Weiss absent joined 13 of 17 New York Republicans in the House vote to override. Only Reps. Jack Kemp, Gerald Solomon, William Carney and Gregory Carmen sided with Reagan. Sens.

Daniel Patrick Moynihan, a Democrat, and Alfonse D'Amato, a Republican, also opposed Reagan. D'Amato publicly disputed Reagan's claim that the bill is a "budget-buster." Democratic leaders in both houses made similar arguments. In New York, the bill includes $30 million for educating disadvantaged children; $18 million for Pell grants to low-income college students; $15 million to hire low-income elderly people, many of whom work for senior citizens centers; $8 million for highway construction; and $3 million for the state's Coastal Zone Management Program. Another $37.5 million for the state's takeover of Conrail commuter lines can be spent immediately under the bill. Reagan wanted to defer spending the money.

Rep. Gary Lee, a conservative Republican from Tompkins County, issued a statement saying the veto "could have represented a penny-wise and pound-foolish approach to reduction of government spending." "Three aspects of the supplemental were of particular importance to me: Its provisions for education, employment for the elderly and national defense," Lee said. Tompkins County's Rep. Matthew McHugh, a Democrat, who also voted to override the president's veto, issued a statement after the Senate vote: "I think the Congressional override is some indication that there are many members of Congress, including me, who believe that the president's continuing requests for higher and higher appropriations for the military at the expense of some of our important domestic programs is a position that is extreme and should be modified. My hope is that the president will learn a lesson from this debate and the override itself and moderate his budget requests so that we can have a more fair and a more wise budget approach." on in stock Scirocco's 'til Sept.

We call at picturesque communities and special attractions beyond the reach of larger vessels." The vessels have 44 staterooms and four passenger decks. Giersdorf said the 100-ton vessel left Sunday on a special 10-day charter for a scnic and wildlife expedition of southeast Alaska. He said the passengers paid about $2,025 apiece for the tour which was to conclude in Sitka. The ship had been chartered by Special Expeditions, a division of Lindblad Travel, Inc.

The survivors later arrived in Juneau, about 60 miles to the north, after a stop at The Five Fingers, a group of islands about five miles to the east where the Coast Guard maintains a lighthouse.

Massey said there were 100 people aboard, 79 passengers and 21 crewmen. The injured received medical attention from physicians and nurses who were on a pleasure boat in the area, Massey said. Massey said the ship had been "hung up amidships" with the outgoing tide causing it to roll. It was not known what the ship struck. Giersdorf said the hull was intact.

Capt. Gary Robertson and First Officer Bob Petronsky had remained on board, Giersdorf said. The last major rescue effort involving a cruise ship in Alaska waters occurred in October 1980 in the Gulf of Alaska. The luxury liner Prinsendam was en route to the Far East with 319 passengers and 204 crew when it caught fire in the gulf west of Yakutat on Oct. 3, 1980.

All those aboard abandoned ship after the fire spread, and all escaped injury. Some were in open lifeboats during a violent storm for as long as 20 hours. The rescue was described at the time as one of the largest non-wartime marine rescues in recent history. "We're lucky," Massey said Friday. "This could have been as bad as the Prinsendam, if the weather had been bad, if they had been farther out and if there hadn't been a lot of boats in the area." Skies were slightly overcast, with calm seas and the temperature was 55 degrees.
