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.

Ike Adds Caut
To Middle East Proposal
WASHINGTON, AprillB (IP)
—President Dwight D. Eisen
hower
added his voice today
to a cautious official U.S. wel
come for Russia's offer to sup
port a Middle East settlement.
A White House statement said
of yesterday's Kremlin gesture:
"If it demonstrates a real de-
I sire and determination on the part
of the Soviet Union to back the
United Nations effort, the Presi
dent welcomes this support."
Eisenhower thus echoed the
guarded reaction yesterday of
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles. He also emphasized, as
Dulles had, that American policy
looks primarily to the UN for an
Arab-Israel setlement in the Mid
dle East
.Ei..nliower is expected to have
