Wednesday, July 7, 1976 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Seven President Reagan seeks Dem support jobs bill By AP and UPI WASHINGTON - President Ford yesterday vetoed a $3.95- billion employment bill intended to create or preserve hundreds of thousands of jobs. Democrats have vowed to en- act the public service measure over Ford's veto. IN HIS STATEMENT to Con- gress, Ford said: 'This bil will not create lasting jobs but in- stead will create more infla- tion." The President n o t e d that members of Congress are now home on a Fourth of July holi- day and he urged their con- stituents to let them know that the federal government cannot continue to go on a spending spree. U.S. Representative J a m e s O'Hara (D-Mich.) calleddthe veto "incredible" and said it must be immediately overrid- den by Congress. O'HARA, A candidate for the Senate seat being vacated by Philip Hart, said the bill would have provided some $92 million for Michigan, including $24 mil- lion to financially strapped De- troit and Wayne County, "The incredible veto of this urgently n e e d e d legislation must be overridden by Congress as soon as it returns later this month," O'Hara said. The veto was Ford's third in four days and the 52nd of his presidency. LAST FRIDAY Ford vetoed a $3.3 billion military construction bill. On Saturday he turned down a measure which would have increased the western states' share of royalties from oil and coal leasing on public lands. "We are going to make this bill law, either with the Presi- dent's signature or over his veto," House Majority Leader Thomas P. O'Neill Jr. said June 23, one day after the House gave it final approval. O'Neill said the bill would provide 350,000 jobs and author- ize $3.95 billion to finance the construction of local facilities such as municipal offices, court- houses, libraries, water and sewer lines, streets and other projects. THE MEASURE passed the House by 328 to 83, substantially more than the two-thirds needed to over-ride a veto. The Senate approved the measure 70 to 25, also enough to override a veto. "We are following through with the promise of the Demo- cratic congressional leadership to provide jobs," O'Neill said at the time. Ford vetoed a similar bill last February. It was a larger meas- ure, providing $6.2 billion for public works employment. The House over-rode that veto, but the Senate sustained Ford by three votes. That bill was designed to cre- ate 600,000 jobs. Ford called it "little more than election-year pork barrel" and said it had "so many deficiencies and undesir- able provisions that it would do more harm than good." In the new bill, one part would authorize $2 billion in grants through Sept. 30, 1977, to state and local governments for public works projects that can be started within 90 days.

WASHINGTON (P) - Ron- aId Reagan appealed last night for support from Democrats, as- serting that the Democratic par- ty had been "taken over by elit- ists who believed only they could plan properly the lives of the people." Reagan attacked President Ford, his rival for the GOP presidential nomination, as well as Democratic candidate Jim- my Carter. HE DECLARED that the fed- eral government, and particu- larly Congress, have been dom- inated by "a philosophy that works against the values of the family and the values that were so basic to the building of this country." In a speech prepared for a national campaign telecast, the former California governor said that through inflation "the big spenders in Washington have brought us to the place where older Americans are slowly - but surely -- being pushed to the wall." Making his pitch to Demo- crats, Reagan, himself a for- mer Democrat, said: "MILLIONS OF you have de- cided neither party faithfully represents what you believe. The answer is for all of us to vote for our values and not for labels next November." The 30-minute speech, carried on the ABC television network, cost the Reagan campaign ap- proximately $80,000 to $85,000 for production and air time, a Reagan aide in Los Angeles said. It was the Republican candi- date's third national campaign speech on television. The first, also 30 minutes, helped bring his then - depleted campaign treasury out of trouble last March and April. A second, five minute speech followed. REAGAN MENTIONED nei- ther of the other candidates by name. But in an apparent ref- erence to Ford, Reagan said in his Tuesday night talk: "There are those who want to approach the nation's prob- lems on a politics as usual ba- sis. A little government help here, a shrewd political move there. A little special treatment to thos group or that group. A political 'strategy' of one kind or another." "But we are not going to get out of the mess we are in sim- ply by doing the same old things in a new way," said Rea- gan. "AND THEN there are those whose approach to government combines soothing rhetoric, pleasant smiles and reorganiza- tion gimmicks," he said in an apparent reference to Carter, the former Georgia governor and probable Democratic nomi- nee. "Well, you can't get to the heart of an issue by being vague about it," Reagan said. "You don't fix bad policies by rearranging or replacing one bureaucrat with another. You have to renlace bad ideas with good ideas." Reagan aides made clear be- fore the speech that the former governor was referring to Ford and Carter. "YOU'D HAVE to assume he's talking about the other peo- ple in the race and they're the only two other people in the race," said spokesman Jim Lake.
