(AP) Treasury Secretary William Simon told Republican platform writers today that Democratic spending proposals could mean nearly $1,000 more in federal outlays for every 2 senators don't want veep spot WASHINGTON (AP) As Ronald Reagan pressed President Ford to name his running mate, two senators Ford was considering for vice president said they don't want the second spot on the Republican ticket and a third senator all but ruled himself out of contention. The two, Edward Brooke of Massachusetts and William Brock of Tennessee, rejected the possibility of being on a Ford ticket, saying they want to remain in the Senate.

James Buckley, the Republican-Conservative senator from New York, said today he told White House aides he would prefer to concentrate on his reelection campaign, rather than be involved in a national contest. A Buckley spokesman said the senator did not flatly reject all possibility of being on the GOP ticket. A total of ten people now have admitted being asked for personal information by the White House as part of Ford's effort to screen possible running mates. Treasury Secretary William Simon, Sen. Charles Percy of Illinois, Sen.

Robert Dole of Kansas and Missouri Gov. Christopher Bond revealed Monday they have been asked for personal information. The seven joined Sen. Howard Baker of Tennessee, Gov. Robert Ray of Iowa and Commerce Secretary Elliot Richardson on the list of those who have admitted White House inquiries about their health and finances.

Former Texas Gov. John B. Connally has been prominently mentioned as a possible running mate for Ford and has discussed his prospects for being on a Ford ticket but has not said he has been formally asked for information. man, woman and child in the United States. Simon was the first of several witnesses before a morning session of the GOP platform committee.

He denounced such undertakings as the Democrats' jobs-for-all bill and proposed instead that Republicans concentrate on helping the private sector with tax reform and reducing the role of government. "The 1976 Democratic platform might well add another $200 billion in annual government spending," Simon said. He accused the Democrats of following "discredited policies of spend-spend, elect-elect, inflation, controls, bigger and bigger government" and said that if the Democrats had their way the country would be headed for accelerated inflation followed by -deeper recession. However, Simon said, President Ford and the outnumbered Republicans in Congress have succeeded in maintaining what he called responsible fiscal and monetary policies. These policies, he said, "are moving us in the right direction and confidence in the economy at home and abroad has been restored I believe it is the direct result of the positive acitons taken by President Ford." Republican platform drafters appear to be finding agreement easier on defense matters and the economy than on abortion and women's rights.

Simon and several economists, some asked to appear before the platform committee and its subcommittees by Ronald Reagan supporters, consider Democratic proposals ruinously expensive. James Lynn, director of the Office of Management and Budget, said Monday that major Democratic proposals on full employment and social services could require a 50 per cent increase in income taxes to finance. Discussions by a subcommittee on defense and foreign affairs appeared to show a majority in favor of taking a position on the future of the Panama Canal.
