Nixon wins showdown WASHINGTON (AP) President Nixon yesterday scored a tight five-vote victory in a showdown in the House on a vetoed medical services bill. It left Nixon unbeaten by Congress this year in five veto fights. The vote was 273 favoring a veto override to put the bill into law over Nixon's objections, 144 supporting the President's rejection of the bill and one member voting "present." This was five votes short of the required two-thirds majority. While the Senate voted 77 to 16 last month to override, or 15 more than the" necessary two-thirds, the action by the House means the legislation is dead. Nixon expressed pleasure at the House action. A White House statement said the President feels those who voted to sustain the veto "deserve the thanks of all Americans for their actions" and for joining in his efforts fighting inflation. Six Democrats- joined 138 Republicans in support of the President, while! 227 Democrats and 46 Republicans voted to override the veto. The bill would have authorized $lB5 million for new federal aid programs designed . to develop emergency medical service systems aimed at preventing needless deaths of heart attack and accident victims.
