wishes of the White House Tuesday by voting to sustain President veto of a bill to finance water and sew er systems in rural America The vote was 225 to over ride the veto and 189 to sus tain it This was 51 short of the two thirds needed to over ride It was the second major victory for President Nixon in eight days in his running bat tle with Congress over curtail ing spending and terminating politically popular programs Just last week the Senate voted 60 to 36 to override the veto of the voca tional rehabilitation bill that was designed to help the na physically and mentally handicapped That vote was just four short of the' two thirds needed to override the President The strong support for the position in both houses would clearly indicate that the Congress is unlikely to override any of threatened vetoes of some dozen or so other bills still pending on Capitol Hill Thus it now appears that while the Democrats are in numerical control in both Sen ate and House Nixon will be able to chart effectively the course of legislation this year by vetoing bills he does not like Despondent Democratic leaders in both houses con cede that the President ap pears to have the upper hand The two bills that they chose to test the respective strengths of the legislative and executive branches of Congress were considered the most politically appealing of the more than a dozen that the President had threatened to veto The twin victo ries would seem to underscore the urgency for prompt con gressional action on major budget reforms if it is to re capture control over the set ting of spending priorities Nixon has repeatedly chided Congress for overspending and cited what he called fis cal irresponsibility in vetoing both the vocational rehabilita tion and water sewer bills Leaders of a special Senate and House study committee have reached tentative agreement on a budget reform plan under which Congress it self would set an annual spending limit allocate maxi mum budget outlays to its ap propriations and authoriza tions committees and imnose federal income tax sur charge in the event that spending exceeded the annual ceiling Nixon Petitions Congress HS i I rtl? aS 1 If I fP

crops as seriously when there is high wind He said the wind prevents frost from forming The peach crop already is past the critical stage in lower elevations Gobble said but orchards in higher locations such as the Bent Mountain area were expected tobe damaged Gobble said a 9:30 pm weather reading on Bent Moun tain showed temperature of 26 degrees and high winds This coupled with a 10 pm
