According to Hubert Haley, maintenance manager for the city's Department of Stretts, Traffic, and Parking, Ann Arbor may not have escaped the salt shortage that has caught other cities n the state. IN FACT, if the weather doesn't improve in the next few weeks, residents may find some local streets difficult to navigate. "We've got some salt," said Haley, "but the company rations it to us. We're limited to about 90 tons a day. We've got a little of the stuff stockpiled, so I guess you could say we're holding our own, but this weather lately has been something else." Haley said that the Washtenaw County Roads Department can't obtain salt from any nearby sources. "They're bringing it in from somewhere in Toledo." According to Haley, the problem seems to be one of run-off. Ice and snow may melt on any particular day, but the excess water al- ways freezes before it can escape into sewers. "WE KNEW this shortage was coming," Haley admitted, "and we were ready for it- but if we don't get some run-off soon I don't know what's going to happen. It's been a very bad winter so far." Haley said the city is getting its entire supply of salt this year from International Salt of Clark Summit, Penn. However, this is not the usual practice. "Ordinarily, we get half our order from International, and half from Morton Salt," he said. "But Morton had a big strike this summer and their stockpiles are low. Besides, they haul the stuff over from Canada by barge, and with the river frozen up none of the barges can get through." House overrides Ford veto (Continued from Page 1) have set the funding at a level $424 million below that speci- fied in the measure but still $491 million above Ford's bud- recommendation. Minority Leader John Rhodes (R-Ariz.) said he was confi- dent Ford would sign such a bill. But Democrats argued even this amount of funding would require cutbacks in vital programs. REP. Daniel Flood (D-Pa.) handling the bill, said it rep- resented an average increase of 7 per cent over amounts appro- priated a year earlier for the same programs. Save $400 Senate confirms Republican Bush as new CIA chief 'Nashville', 'Lyndon': best films of 1975 (Continued from Page 1) Bush should eliminate his can- didacy" and warned of "the harm t h i s appointment will cause the whole effort to re- form and strengthen the Central Intelligence Agency." Bush's two immediate prede- cessors-Colby and former De- fense Secretary James Schles- inger-were ousted in last No- vember's administration shake- up. Richad Helms, who headed the agency until 1973, is now under investigation by the Jus- tice Department. HELMS, NOW ambassador to Iran, told the Senate Govern- ment Operations Committee yes- terday that members of Con- gress sometimes did not wish to be told about the CIA's "dirty tricks." "On occasion they really didn't want to know all that much about it because it could be embarrassing to them po- litically" if exposed, Helms told the Senate Government Opera- tions Committee. Senate approval of Bush came nearly three months after he was nominated. Several Demo- cratic senators had said that Bush's political past should dis- qualify him from holding the highly sensitive post. Before the vote Senate Ma- jority leader Mike Mansfield told reporters the Bush nomi- nation would be approved eas-' ily, although "there will be a de- cided number of votes against him." IN AN EFFORT to quiet con- cerns that Bush's political am- bitions would further injure pub- lic confidence in the CIA, Pres- ident Ford has ruled Bush out as a possible vice presidential running mate in 1976. Mansfield said he was "not concerned about a politician be- ing named to that office" and said he believes Bush will rise above politics once he takes on the job. Sen. Thomas McIntyre (D- N.H.), one of four members of the Senate A r m e d Services Committee who opposed the nomination even after Bush was removed from vice presidential consideration, argued that "ap- pointment of so clearly per- ceived a political figure" was "certain to insure skepticism." McINTYRE pointed out that Bush would be the fourth man to head the CIA in the last three years. Although Ford's promise that Bush would not be his run-' ning mate seemed to assure that Bush would head the CIA for the rest of the current ad- ministration "where is the guar- antee of tenure if anyone other than President Ford is sworn in" on January 20, 1977, McIn- tyre asked.

WINTER DEATHS HOUSTON (UPI) - Winter storms from 1936 to 1969 killed more than 3,000 persons in the country, according, to National Weather Service figures. Fewer than 400 of the fatalities were the result of cold or exposure, the NWS said. Car accidents in the bad wea- ther caused one third of the fa- talities.
