The next step was up to the House Wednesday. If it concurs with the latest Senate effort, the bill goes to President Reagan for his expected signature, but perhaps not in time to prevent disruption of jobless benefits in 27 states and the District of Col umbia. The lopsided Senate vote came just hours after the House voted, 329-86, in favor of the compromise bill worked out in a House-Senate conference com mittee, but 277-132 against the formula for distributing the money to states and localities worked out by the conferees.

Graduation Date- i i United Press International WASHINGTON — Gasoline prices falling at the pump pulled consumer prices down 0.2 per cent in February, and food and housing costs held steady to account for the second monthly overall decline in the govern ment index in more than 17 years, the government said Wednesday. The drop in the Labor De partment’s Consumer Price In dex for February, after seasonal adjustment, canceled the 0.2 percent increase for January to produce a zero rate of inflation for the first two months of the year. Gasoline prices dropped 6.7 percent, part of an enormous 10.8 percent decline in the last four months. Auto financing costs drop ped 2.7 percent, the seventh consecutive monthly decline, the department said. Both factors pulled down the major category of transportion prices 1.6 percent in February while food and housing costs did not change at all. The Consumer Price Index for February, before adjustment to show changes beyond routine seasonal patterns, was listed at 293.2, equivalent to a cost of $293.20 for the governrqent’s sample “market basket” of goods and services that cost $100 in 1967. The department said the pur chasing power of the 1967dollar remained at 34.1 cents, the same value as in January. If the drop in fuel prices had not been included, the overall index would have risen a moder ate 0.3 percent, the department said. Clothing costs went up 0.5 percent, reflecting the slow down of sale prices for winter merchandise and the introduc tion of more expensive spring wear, the department said. Medical care costs kept esca lating at a double digit annual rate, with February’s, overall medical costs climbing 0.8 per cent. While the subcategbry of pre scription drugs and medical supplies was up 0.3 percent, doctors raised their prices a full 1 percent and hospital charges jumped 1.6 percent in the single month. A narrower index covering prices typically paid by wage ear ners and clerical workers, also went down 0.2 percent after sea sonal adjustment.
