Congress overturns veto
WASHINGTON (UPI) - For
the 12th time in 27 tries,
Congress has overturned a
President Ford veto. This one
was a |56.6 billion appropria
tions bill for the Departments
of Labor and Health, Education
and Welfare, and there werd
votes to spare.
The bill, which Ford said was
$4 billion more than he
requested and therefore infla
tionary, became law Thursday
over the President’s objections
immediately after the vote.
Ford has vetoed 59 bills since
taking office two years ago.
Another confrontation was
avoided when Ford announced
later in the day that he will
sign two priority Jobs bills —
one establishing a $3.7 billion

public works jobs program and
the second continuing for
another year a public service
jobs program that will provide
260,000 jobs.
The Labor-HEW appropria
tion is one of biggest to come
before Congress. Ford’s veto
message called it “a perfect
example of the triumph of
election-year politics over fiscal
restraint and responsibility to
the hard-pressed American
taxpayer.”
Congressional advocates re
sponded that the bill funds
programs affecting the lives
and welfare of every American
and that shortchanging vital
social programs now would
result in added costs in the long
run.
Republicans joined Demo
crats in overturning the Labor-
HEW veto by substantial
margins in both chambers. The
House’s 312-93 vote was 42 more
than needed, while the Senate’s
67-15 vote was 12 more than the
two-thirds required to overturn
a presidential veto.
Democratic vice presidential
nominee Sen. Walter Mondale,
D-Minn., was present to vote
for the override. His Republi
can counterpart Sen. Robert
Dole, R-Kan., was absent.
Two provisions in the legisla
tion helped attract support for
an override. One prohibits the
use of federal funds to finance
abortions for indigent women
except to save the life of the
mother, while the second
exempts farms with 10 or fewer
workers from Occupational
Safety and Health Act covera
ge.
Computer fire
SYDNEY, Australia (UPI) -
A fire early today gutted a $52
million computer complex at
the Australian Iron and Steel
works at Port Kembla, 50 miles
south of Sydney.
A spokesman for the plant
said total damage caused by
the fire could reach $125
million. Police believe the fire
was caused by an electrical
fault.
The blaze broke out only
hours after 300 workers at the
plant called a 24-hour strike
over the death of a worker.

Mom’s house habits
a sign of illness
By Abigail Van Buren
(?) 1976 by Chicago Tn buna N. y New* Synd. Inc.
DEAR ABBY: I'm 26 and the mother of two boys, ages 3
and 5. My mother, a widow, lives about an hour’s drive from
me, but I refuse to visit her again because of the condition
of her house.
She NEVER washes her kitchen and bathroom floors!
The toilet doesn’t work, and the stench is unbearable. She
has so many cats running around you can’t count them, and
you can smell their urine even before you open her front
door. (She burns candles to mask the odor.)
I don't claim to be a perfect housekeeper, but I can't tol
erate filth and germs. I'm so afraid my children will pick up
something there. My oldest son refused to sit on her toilet.
I cleaned up the place a year ago but she hasn't done a thing
to it since. The last time we were there she wanted to give
us dinner, but we lied and said we just ate. (My husband
won’t even have a glass of water there!)
Abby, I’ve done all I can. I feel guilty not visiting her, but
I just can’t stand the way she lives. Am I wrong?
ONLY DAUGHTER
DEAR DAUGHTER: Yes! Your mother must be sick to
live with the conditions you describe. Please pack her up
immediately and take her to a doctor for a thorough
physical and mental examination. She should not be living
alone!
DEAR ABBY: How do you tell your ex-mother-in-law
who insists that you are still part of her ’’family” that you
don't want to be?
I hate to come right out and insult the woman, but I may
have to. I have been divorced from her daughter for three
years and am now married to another woman, but when
ever my former mother-in-law sees me, she calls me “Son.”
She keeps trying to be friendly with my present wife, tel)
ing her that she is also now part of her family.
This irritates me to no end, Abby. There is no religious
reason for her ignoring my divorce since she is an atheist.
BOTHERED IN NEW MEXICO
DEAR BOTHERED: If she wants to consider you and
your wife part of her “family," let her. YOU know better,
but nothing will be gained by insulting her or making an
issue of it.
DEAR ABBY: I am a 40-year-old attractive divorcee who
has been going with this 59-year-old widower for the last
two years. He has five grown children and I have four. My
youngest is 18, and she recently got her own apartment.
I really love this man, but he says he will never marry
me. He has money and he’s very generous. We’ve taken
several nice trips together, and he is fun to be with. But I
have the feeling his children don’t care much for me.
Sometimes I think maybe I should be looking out for my
future and spending my time with men who might marry
me. Do you think if I go with him for another year I might
be able to break him down?
UNDECIDED
DEAR UN: Thank your lucky stars he was honest
enough to tell you he's not marriage materia). Look for a
man who is.
Everyone has a problem. What's yours? For a personal
reply, write to ABBY: Box No. 69700, L.A., Calif. 90069.
Enclose stamped, self-addressed envelope, please.
Suicide troubles
Detroit police
DETROIT (UPI) — The
apparent suicide of a top
Detroit police official a day
after the firing of Police Chief
Philip Tannian has further
shaken the troubled depart
ment, whose top echelon is the
target of a federal drug probe.
Police said Deputy Chief
Reginald C. Harvel, 47, a 21-
year police veteran and the
department’s fourth-ranking of
ficer, apparently shot himself
twice in the chest with a .33-
caliber police revolver, authori
ties said. The cause of death
was tentatively listed as suicide
pending further examination.
Harvel’s body was found
early Wednesday at his Detroit
home. The apparent suicide
was another blow in a series of
upheavals that have rocked the
police department.
Police Chief Tannian was
fired by Mayor Coleman Young
on Tuesday and Deputy Chief
Frank Blount, the department’s
second in command, who is
under investigation in a federal
drug probe, was relieved of his
duties last week.
A federal grand jury is
probing allegations of drug
dealing among top department
officers but a taw enforcement
officer close to the investigation
told the Detroit Free Press
Wednesday that Harvel was not
considered a “target” in the
case.
Harvel earlier this week told
the Free Press in an interview
that he had been concerned
about the drug probe ruining
his career because he was a
protege of Blount. Blount went
on indefinite educational leave
last week.
A police spokesman said
Harvel, a former undercover
narcotics officer and father of
three children, had been under
a doctor’s care for some time
and had been suffering from
physical ailments, including
hypertension and a bladder
problem.
