WASHINGTON (P — The senate Tuesday turned down
a Republican medical care plan backed by the party’s
presidential nominee, Vice President Nixon. The vote
was 67-28.
The rejection cleared the way for the key test later
in the afternoon on whether to accept a Democratic pro-
posal for a health benefits plan linked into the social
security system.
A vote on that was set up for 6 p.m., with predic-
tions of a close division. This formula had the full back-
