I I I I I ah, ine uregon statesman, Salem, Aug. IV, 196 Reagan again insists he'll reject VP offer Iff iA Jr. ail 12 KX99tJ mm. -CF ft 1" By CHARLES MOHR New York Times KANSAS CITY, Mo. President Ford plans to announce his choice of his vice presidential running mate at a midday news conference Thursday, and some of his closest advisers continue to believe he will name either Sen.

Howard H. Baker Jr. of Tennessee or William D. Ruckelshaus, a former government official. Ford, confident of nomination, had planned to ask his opponent, Ronald Reagan to consent to be considered for the second spot, but in a letter circulated on the convention floor Wednesday night Reagan said that under "no circumstances whatsoever" would he accept, and added, "that is absolutely final." Earlier Wednesday Reagan had told Kansas delegates, "I won't accept it." Although a move to "throw the choice open" to the convention might put nearly irresistable pressure on Reagan, there was no sign the President intended to take such a step.

High officials in the Ford campaign had already doubted it was likely that Reagan would accept. The President kept his choice secret Wednesday, although it may have been reached in his own mind. One motive for the secrecy was to avoid controversy over the person chosen that could have jeopardized his own nomination. Ron Nessen, the White House press secretary, said Ford would hold a news conference at about noon Thursday to name his choice of a running mate. Ford has asked a score of persons to furnish him with personal and financial data aboui themselves and, since he has not confined a final choice to his staff, presumably even one of the long shots may have a chance for selection.

Nessen also confirmed previous reports that the President intended to call on Reagan at the former California governor's hotel suite after the presidential balloting. Nessen attempted to discount reports, which emanated from a source close to the President, that after consultation with a group of close political advisers Ford had shown spe- i 1 I 1 7 Maiesnan pnoio by uerry Lewin National convention, minutes gate said. But she added that they were not instructed in their use. "It was all spontaneous," she said. However impromptu it was, it was not unexpected and its enthusiasm seemed intoxicating to some.

The president's children, sitting in a VIP box at the south end of the hall, looked a bit concerned for a moment or two as the Reagan cacophony grew and grew. ruled prejudicial Counsel representing Velsicol Chemical Co. and Agro-Chem, defendants in the suit, moved for a mistrial on grounds the opposing lawyers' actions in aiding the juror might influence the jury. Judge William W. Wells of the circuit court for Morrow and Umatilla counties granted the motion and scheduled a new trial to begin Dec.

7. Station A cial interest in Baker, 50, Ruckelshaus, 44, a senior vice president of the Weyerhaeuser Timber Co. and a former official in the Department of Justice and the Environmental Protection Agency. "The only person who knows who is on the list is the President," said Nessen. "He has told no one." Other sources confirmed the interest shown in Baker and Ruckelshaus and added that as the convention wore on, Ford had also been asking confidants for their opinions of Secretary of the Treasury William E.

Simon, Gov. Daniel J. Evans, of Washington and others. Evans was one of 13 Republican governors who met with the President Wednesday to offer suggestions about the vice presidency, which Ford received in a noncommital manner. Evans said the conversation included from the governors "a great deal of talk about Ronald Reagan." He said Reagan was a "team player" and despite his denials of interest "whatever role the President asks him to take from the vice presidency on down, he would take." John B.

Connally, a former Secretary of the Treasury and a former Democrat, vigorously disputed press reports saying he had been eliminated as too controversial a figure. In a news conference in New York, during a visit there, he said, "I know I'm not dead," and said a Ford-Connally ticket would be a "strong" one. Reports that appeared in the press Tuesday that Baker had reported to Ford that Mrs. Baker had suffered from a "serious drinking problem" in the past but was substantially recovered did not seem to cause tremors in the Ford camp or to indicate that Baker might be bypassed. There had been no immediate public outcry about the report.

Baker, an articulate and effective speaker, seems to enjoy acceptability across a wide spectrum of ideologies and regions within the party. Ruckelshaus won a valuable political purple heart when he became a casualty of the "Saturday night Massacre" of 1973. As deputy attorney general, he refused to discharge the Watergate special prosecutor, Archibald Cox. Ruckelshaus was the invisible man in the vice presidential sweepstakes. Female guards may search men SPRINGFIELD, Mo.

(AP) Conducting nude searches of male prisoners is part of the job for women guards at a federal prison here. "We're just trying to follow policy," explains Dr. P.J. Ciccone, director of the U.S. Medical Center here.

He said the first women guards were hired early this year at the men's federal prison facility and are expected to carry out all the tasks their male counterparts do. Ciccone said the nude searches are "routinely done when a person enters from the outside," whether on first arriving at the center or on return from furloughs and court appearances. Not everyone is happy about it. The U.S. public defender's office has received complaints from at least two inmates who object to being searched in the nude by the female guards.

Hatfield, chairman of the Oregon a Ronald Reagan supporter, Sylvia Reagan fans By JAMES T. WOOTEN New York Times KANSAS CITY, Mo. Parading the ersatz enthusiasm of winners, Ronald Reagan's supporters celebrated his proposed candidacy at the Republican National Convention here Wednesday night a planned demonstration that lasted 43 minutes and defied several attempts to stop it. Armed with plastic bull horns and the lingering frustrations of a lengthy campaign, the Reaganites raised the roof of the Kemper Arena, dancing in the aisles of the convention floor and around the edges of the jammed balconies. With the Californian's name officially entered as a candidate by his campaign chairman, Sen.

Paul Laxalt of Nevada, his ardent backers were unwilling to bring a halt to their demonstration of affection despite the gavel-ing of the chairman, Rep. John J. Rhodes. 1 The Weather Corrections Errors appearing in The Oregon Statesman may be brought to the attention of the city desk between noon and 6 p.m. daily by telephoning 364-6811, extension 310.

The remaining shows in the top 20 were: "Starsky and Hutch," NBC; "Maude," CBS; "Rockford Files," NBC; "Sunday Night Movie," ABC; "This Better Be It," CBS; "What's Happening," ABC, and "Medical Center," CBS, tied; "Happy Days," ABC, and "Rhoda," CBS, tied; "Baretta," ABC; "Phyllis," CBS; "Jigsaw John," NBC; "Barnaby Jones," CBS; "Good Times," CBS, and "Steets of San Francisco," ABC, tied; "Laverne and Shirley," ABC, and "Welcome Back Kotter," ABC. Legion deaths PHILADELPHIA (AP) A "remote possibility" exists that plumbing violations at a Philadelphia hotel may be linked to the legionnaires' disease that has killed 26 persons, city officials said Wednesday. The most potentially dangerous of 19 reported violations at the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel, headquarters for the state American Legion convention, may have contaminated the hotel water supply, said City Representative Albert Gaudiosi.

In a news briefing, Gaudiosi cautioned that the discovery of the hotel's faulty plumbing brought investigators "no closer" to the cause of the mysterious ailment that has stricken 173 persons.

Hot weather was the rule in the Dakotas, where some cities had temperatures above 100.
