Congress overrides veto
WASHINGTON - Nearing the completion of business this election year, Congress yesterday appointed President Gerald R. Ford to a $5.5 billion appropriation package to finance 10 percent of the budget.
The Senate completed passage of the bill when it voted 67 to 15 to override the veto. The vote was 12 more than the two-thirds majority required.
Earlier, Congress passed a compromise revenue-sharing measure, an action that should clear the way for adjournment for the session today.
Ford issued a statement saying passage of the revenue sharing bill was "a most significant accomplishment", although, he added, it is not all that I and the company have done. The bill had hoped to
Nineteen Senate Republicans supported the appropriation bill, which provides for programs administered by the departments of Labor and of Health, Education and Social Services.
Soviets buu more wheat
WASHINGTON - The Agriculture Department said yesterday 400,000 more metric tons of U.S. wheat had been sold to the Soviet Union.

The department didn't identify the private grain firm that made the sale or the price. At closing cash-grain prices yesterday, the sale would have been worth $10 million.
No government financing is involved in the sale.

Allied receives acauittal
RICHMOND, Va.,—A federal judge yesterday acquitted Allied Chemical Corp. of polluting the James River by dumping the toxic insecticide Kepone into water.
The judge, U.S. District Court Judge Robert R. Merhage Jr., said that there wasn't enough evidence for conviction of the W charges remaining against the defendant.
"I'm simply not satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt that Allied entered into a criminal partnership with Life Science Products Co.," Merghie said.
Allied was acquitted of nine counts of aiding and abetting Life Science Products, which manufactured Kepone for Allied, in dumping the chemical into a sewer system. Allied was also acquitted of count of conspiring with Life Science Products to perpetuate the pollution.
Farmers' returns decline
WASHINGTON - Continued declines in returns on meat brought the average of prices U.S. farmers receive for their agricultural products down another half per cent between Aug. 15 and Sept. 15, the Agriculture department reported yesterday. The average was seven per cent below the average prices of a year ago.
A month ago, USDA reported the sharpest monthly drop in prices for the basic ingredients of food in more than two years. That four per cent decline followed a year earlier.
The department's crop reporting board said lower prices for hogs, potatoes, cattle, chickens and wheat contributed to the decrease, but higher prices for soybeans were up.

PASADENA, Calif.—The Viking missions's chances of finding life on Mars appeared slim yesterday when latest data from the Viking 2 robot showed no sign of life.
On this planet, life isn't possible without organics—tiny chains of carbon atoms—and neither of the Viking landers have found organic matter in their probes of
Gentry Lee, director of the mission's science analysis, said the possibility of life on Mars still existed but admitted that it was difficult to "explain no organics."

Judge George Bregians first granted a continuance in the case and later threw out the charges against Robert White, 42, David King, 31, and Sandra Rondeau, 37.
Prodded by Jimmy Carter to discuss his past campaign finances and golfing weekends that were paid for by corporations, President Gerald Ford said yesterday that no campaign funds ever went for his personal use.
"I am certain that when the investigation is completed, that I will be free of any allegations such as I have read about," the President told a news conference. "As long as my conscience is clear, I have no real problem."

Candidates get job hope
WASHINGTON (AP)—An organization that helps find jobs for executives older than 40 has invited President Ford and other members of the team of them will be unemployed after Nov. 2.
The group, called Forty Plus of Washington, said its members fall into two categories, those who are out of work and those "who are presently employed but have a job change and realize that a group effort is better than an individual effort."
"Our only requirements are that the applicant be 40 or older and that he or she have worked in a professional or executive position." The interviewer said, "You appear eminently qualified."
The letter was carried by hand to Ford's
downtown campaign headquarters and mailed to Carter's organization in Alphia.
Ford has a job that pays him $200,000 a year. Carter's reported income was $136,138.92 for 1975. To belong to Forty Plus, he had a job paid at laying at 15,100 annually.
"As a presidential candidate, you have expressed your concern with unemployment, your concern with the need to reduce the federal government's role and your desire to put people to work," the letters said.
"Your party's platform speaks out on the critical need to reduce unemployment in the nation. You can help highlight the efforts of some of the more than 150,000 people across the country, the unemployed professional men and women over 40 years of age."
