Anderson Won't Join Race for Presidency 1 I i party and attracted percent or more of the vote, he would draw support away from the Democratic nominee and tilt the election in President Reagan's favor. Once the third party is formed and Anderson was on the ballot in 10 states, he could have qualified for the $6 million under federal election laws based on his showing in 1980. In the speech, Anderson, 62, said, "We will continue the work of organizing at the grass-roots level so that we can in 1986 run candidates for local, state and federal office. "Then we will be ready in the next presidential contest to offer a candidate to the American people." Anderson did not endorse any of the presidential candidates, but in an earlier interview this week, he did not discourage speculation that he might support Gary Hart WASHINGTON (AP) John B. Anderson, who attracted 7 percent of the vote as an independent candidate in the 1333 presidential Election, announced Thursday that he will not run again this year.

The decision will cost the former Republican House member $6 million in federal funds to help finance organization of a new third political party. Nonetheless, Anderson said he would keep working to build the National Unity Party, which he hopes will run a presidential candidate in 1988. In remarks prepared for delivery at Vale University, Anderson cited his difficulty in getting his name on the presidential ballot in a number of states, including California, New York and Texas.

Monday's delegate hopes hinged on uncounted votes from the state's largest county.

When the counting stopped Thursday evening, Mondale could claim just one of the 22 national convention delegates at stake in the caucuses. He hovered just below the 20 percent threshold needed to claim any other delegates. However, state Democratic Party Chairman Patrick Shea projected that Mondale would top the 20 percent level once the remaining Salt Lake County districts have reported, which would translate into another delegate and bring Mondale's total to two. With all but four of the state's 75 legislative districts reporting, unofficial results showed Hart with 4.476 votes or 50.9 percent, to Mondale's 1,741 or 19.82 percent and Jackson's 283 or 3.2 percent. Anoth- Jackson Favored In D.C.

Primary WASHINGTON (AP) After two months of mostly third-place finishes, the Rev. Jesse Jackson is the favorite to win his first victory in a Democratic presidential primary in the District of Columbia next Tuesday. "The enthusiasm is out in the streets for Jesse," said City Councilman Frank Smith, who is Jackson's campaign coordinator in the District. "I think we will win big." "Jesse Jackson will have a clear-cut majority of popular voters in the District of Columbia and a clear-cut majority of the delegates," said Mayor Marion Barry, a big Jackson booster. In previous primaries, the black presidential candidate has been garnering 70 to 85 percent of the black vote, the foundation for his third-place showings in most of the 13 previous primaries.

But in Washington, which is 70 percent black, such a Jackson showing in the black community would translate into an easy victory in the battle for the District's 15 pledged delegates. er 2,251 or 25.6 percent of the voters were uncommitted, reflecting a last-minute push by Gov. Scott Matheson and other state Democratic officials for an unpledged slate to take to the July convention. Salt Lake County officials said the remaining votes would be counted Friday. Shea said he would not know until next week how many delegates would.

go to Hart or the uncommitted slate. However, Hart coordinator Jan Ruckman estimated her candidate would win 13 or 14 of the 22 delegates at stake. Mondale's supporters had already conceded defeat in the caucuses, blaming it at least in part on a near blizzard that struck about an hour before Wednesday's caucuses. hi "SPLASH IN STYLE" BATHING SUITS BY SASSAFRAS JANTZEN JR.
