Wednesday, May 5, 1976 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Pag iv House overrides day care veto WASHINGTON U(P) - The House voted 301 to 101 yesterday to override President Ford's veto of a bill providing $125 million to help the states meet new federal standards for child day care centers. The measure now goes to the Senate, where a vote on over- riding the veto is expected to- day. IN VETOING the bill last month, Ford said it would "per- petuate rigid federal child day- care standards for all the states and localities in the nation, with the cost to be paid by the federal taxpayer." Ford urged Congress to enact his own program under which states would establish and en- force their own day care stan- dards. Ford has vetoed 48 bills and has been overriden eight times. The day care centers look after children of working moth- ers and have been cited as one way women with small children can get off welfare rolls and into jobs without leaving their children unattended. The House vote on the bill was 33 votes more than the required two-thirds majority to override the veto. WHEN THE roll was called 243 Democrats were joined by 58 Republicans on the winning side, overpotwering 24 Democrats and 77 Republicans. The bill would suspend uptil July 1 a requirement that child day-care centers, to qualify for federal funds, must meet federal standards on staff persons on hand for children aged six weeks to six years old. A previous suspension, enacted last October, expired Feb. 1. The s t a f f i n g requirements range from one child per staff member for the youngest child- ren to seven youngsters per staff member for children be- tween four and six years old. UNDER THE bill, a present $2.5 billion annual limit on so- cial-service program f u n ds would be boosted by $125 million through Sept. 31, with $100 mil- The University of North Caro- lina is the oldest state univer- sity in the United States.

The bill also extends and ds ' incentives for the day care cen- ters to hire welfare recipients in meeting staff needs. Under these provisions, states could reimburse the centers for the cost of employing welfare recip- ients up to $5,000 annually ;er worker. During Ilosie debate yester- day, Ways and Means Commit- tee Chairman Al Ullman (D- Ore.) said the legislation "is an effort of Congress to delay stan- dards" and to "provide some financial relief for states."

Robert Michel (R-II.) said the bll would "mandate costly, inflexible standards," but Rep. James Jones (D-kla.) treed giving "states and day care centers the funds they need to meet the regutlations ' by oerriding the veto.
