THURSDAY. APRIt. 19. 1956 House Refuses To Override President's Veto WASHINGTON, April 18 (EP)—The House refused to over ride Dwight D. Eisenhower's veto of the farm bill, and plans for any other farm relief legislation this year entered a state of confusion. Democratic leaders, who acknowledged in advance that they were merely going through the motions, failed to get even_ a simple majority on their motion to override. The roll call vote was 202 to override and 211 against. This left the leadership 74 votes short of the two-thirds majority needed to pass the omnibus measure over the President's objections. The vote definitely killed the, bill; no Senate action on the veto] will be taken in view of the House vote. "This is the end of it," said Rep. Harold D. Cooley (D-NC), referring to prospects of any gen eral farm legiqlation at this ses sion of Congress. Cooley is chair man of the powerful House Agri culture Committee. Republicans and other Demo cratic leaders, however, indicated they would continue to struggle with the politically important farm issue and might come up with something to help the farm ers before Congress adjourns in mid-summer. Kefauver Loses in New Jersey NEWARK, N.J., April 18 VP)-- Gov. Robert B. Meyner, a dark horse possibility for the Demo cratic presidential or vice presi dential nomination, emerged to day as the party's real winner in New Jersey's primary. President Dwight D. Eisenhow er rolled to victory on the Repub lican side over token opposition and was assured of the party's 38 delegate votes. Meyner led an unpledged slate of Democratic convention dele gates that administered a smash ing defeat to Sen. Estes Kefauver, a presidential hopeful and a con sistent thorn to organization Dem ocrats. In the delegate balloting, the young bachelor governor's forces garnered 35% of the state's 36 convention votes. Kefauver got one-half vote. The Tennessean had campaigned vigorously in the state for six days and had said he expected to get at least 10 votes. The results boosted Meyner's political stock and gave Kefauver the worst setback of his campaign for the presidential nomination at the party's August convention in Chicago. Kefauver, in a tele gram to Meyner, congratulated him on a "tremendous victory." Kefauver's setback was empha sized also in Eisenhower's almost 3 to I vote in the "popularity" phase of the voting. Returns from 3863 of the state's 4155 voting districts gave Eisen hower 307,040 and Kefauver 108,- 000. Leader Slashes Republican Senate PHILADELPHIA (.4') Gov. George M.
