Page 2-Wednesday, hly 14, 1982-The Michigan Daily House upholds second veto O f spending bill WASHINGTON (AP)- The House sustained President Reagan's second veto of an emergency spending bill yesterday, continuing a deadlock that could lead to the unpaid furlough of thousands of federal workers. Although the vote was 242-169 to override, it was 32 short of the two-thirds tally needed. The action means Congress must con- tinue its struggle to come up with an emergency spending bill acceptable to the president, who rejected the two stopgap measures sent to him as too costly. "This is good news," deputy White House press secretary Larry Speakes said of the vote. "It indicates many members of Congress want to hold down spending, take a responsible ap- proach to budgeting. We hope we'll see more of this." THE DEMOCRATIC-controlled House sustained the president's first veto June 24 on a 253-151 vote. By contrast, both the House and Senate voted Tuesday to override the president's veto of a copyright bill the administration claimed would continue protectionist trade barriers in the prin- ting industry. Speaker Thomas O'Neill (D-Mass.) said before the vote that if the override attempt on the spending bill failed, then the House ultimately would insist on certain domestic spending provisions of an earlier measure it had passed and seek negotiations with the Senate, which has passed its own alternative bill. Democrats assailed that Senate measure for the $634 million in domestic spending it had cut from the earlier House bill. REPUBLICANS, meanwhile, defended the president's veto, saying the emergency bill that Congress sent him did not exercise the spending restraint needed for economic recovery. The emergency measure is necessary to keep money flowing to more than a dozen federal agencies and major domestic programs that technically will go broke before the end of the fiscal year, Sept. 3. Before recessing for the Fourth of July, the Republican-controlled Senate passed and sent to the House a $5.3- billion bill that would carry the affected agencies through the fiscal year. Rather than accept that measure, House leaders will try to work out a compromise with Senate negotiators that will be acceptable to both cham- bers and the president. Administration officials have said that ifa bill is not passed and signed by the president soon, an estimated 9,000 to 13,000 or more federal workers would have to be furloughed. Today The weather The pleasant streak continues today as temperatures remain in the 80s and skies stay clear and sunny. O Knocking Newark C ITY OFFICIALS IN Newark, N.J.,are threatening to boycott Christian Dior products because of an advertising campaign by the designer they feel insults the city. A major media campaign by Dior that starts this fall asks the question, "What would New York be without Dior?" The answer is: "Newark." The city council has unanimously agreed to boycott the designer label if the French fashion firm does not withdraw the campaign. Arthur Cohen, from Dior's advertising agency denied that the ad was meant to of- fend the city. "There's no attempt to sink Newark," said Cohen. "We could substitute Burbank or any other city." All in all, however, Newark's gover- nment would rather the ad be in Philadelphia. Chicken on a stand A HOUSTON judge, saying he couldn't probe the mind of a chicken, has acquitted a man charged with cruelty for using the bird as bait to exercise a bulldog. County Judge Billy Ragan said he had to acquit Ted Ran- dolph Stokes because the bird was unhurt and it was impossible to determine whether the chicken was suffering from mental cruelty. Stokes was charged after allegedly placing the chicken in a suspended harness that moved the bird a few feet in front of a dog running on a circular track. Ragan said there was no way for him to probe "the I.Q. of a chicken" and that the bird may have "enjoyed the ride like kids enjoy a merry-go-round." He added, "There was absolutely no testimony about the chicken flapping wings, cackling, or fighting in any way." Stokes' lawyer said his client used the chicken to exer- cise his dog, which had a kidney infection. No countersuit by the defeated fowl currently is planned.ad Happenings Films AAFC-Mother Kusters Goes to Heaven, 7 p.m., in a Year of 13 Moons, 9:15 p.m., Lorch.

The Michigan Daily 4 Revised 'new federalism' plan ready, Reagan says 4 From AP and UPI BALTIMORE- President Reagan, raking federal efforts to "homogenize America," said yesterday his "new federalism" program to break up the Washington bureaucracy will be sent to Capitol Hill by the end of this month. The sweeping program, which Reagan said will "reorder the way American people govern themselves," would make the states responsible for nearly three dozen major federal programs. First presented in Reagan's State of the Union address in January, it bogged down and has undergone a six-month overhaul. THE PRESIDENT'S announcement that a scaled-back package is ready to go "to the Congeess by the end of the month" came in a speech given in Baltimore to the National Association of Counties. The change in the transfer plan- totaling some $40 billion in spending each year at present levels-is drop- ping a call for states to take over the food stamp program, which costs more than $11 billion annually. Attacking the "swollen" bureaucracy, Reagan called the trend toward power accumulating in Washington a "serious" mistake and declared, "We are turning America away from yesterday's policies of Big Brother government." "IN THE recent past, as the federal government has pushed each city, county, and state to be more like every other, we have began to lose one of our greatest strengths: our diversity as a people," Reagan said. "If we are to renew our country, we must stop trying to homogenize America." Also during the visit, Reagan drew attention to his plan to create "enter- prise zones" in which private business would be encouraged through tax ad- vantages to create jobs in depressed, inner-city neighborhoods. To dramatize that plan, he paid a 10- minute visit to the Commercial Credit Bindery, in the mostly black Park Heights neighborhood of Baltimore, and had lunch with business loaders and local officials in the World Trade Center building overlooking Baltimore harbor. Much of the inner harbor area of boutiques, shops and renovated houses was developed with the help of federal funds. "The business of business is America," Reagan said, rewording President Calvin Coolidge's assertion in 1925 that "the business of America is business."
