Ronald Reagan said today he believes his candidacy for jhe Republican presidential nomination would not divide the GOP but rather would be "very healthy" for.

the-party. Reagan "also said President Ford's early commitments of support from party headers do not guarantee him the 1976 nomination. HE SAID the GOP standard bearer will be chosen in next year's primaries by the party's rank and file "grassroots members." The California conservative, in an interview with UPI, said he still has made no final decision whether to challenge Ford. But he said he is convinced any challenge to Ford would not be "divisive or destructive," "As a matter of fact I think it would be very healthy" for the party, he said. Reagan belittled the importance of Ford's early commitments of support and said his own strategyls to take his case "by way of the primary to the grassroots.

"At one time in the party this would be a very important Reagan said of Ford's early support among GOP state and national leaders. "But we have a new situation now. We have 30 states running primaries and 1 think today anyone has to take his case to the people in those primaries. So the en- dorsement by the party hierarchy or leaders doesn't have the importance it once had." SOUNDING very much as if he has all but made up his mind to challenge Ford, Reagan said, "I think there's nothing divisive -at all in the Republican party viewing the record (of the President), viewing the other potential candidates and saying party the decision on who is to be the standard bearer for the next four years." Whoever wins the presidential nomination next year, he said, is "in the last analysis- going to depend on those millions of votes of the party's members." FORMER GOV.

By DON HANCOCK Staff Writer The inclusion of special interest statutes in the new state constitution was unavoidable and an action the legislature had little choice over, a group of Denton residents were told Thursday. "The citizens of this state are really not ready for a constitution without statutory material," State Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson of Dallas said at a gathering sponsored by the League of Women Voters. Ms. Johnson explained legislators were assaulted by a wide range of special interest groups during the preparation of the proposed constitution and were unable to produce a document of purely constitutional material.

"I think it reflects the diversity of the state," the legislator "No matter who wrote that document, it would reflect the diversity of the state." The first black woman elected'to the Texas House of Representatives from Dallas, Ms. Johnson said she endorses passage of the new constitution, although parts of it are A lack of funds for use in educating the public about the document before the November election may make passage of it difficult, she said. "If it fails, it will simply be from a lack of education," she said. Ms. Johnson described the legislative battles which led up to the creation of the new constitution as a valuable experience which forced legislators to come "to grips with all the philosophical views in the state (to.

come out) with some measure of a Legislators entered the last session feeling "it owed the public something after it failed at the constitutional convention," she said. At the convention, "we finally had to stop to salvage feelings and the intensity and the fatigue that had generated into it," she said: "We needed a recess and were then ready back work." Chappaquiddick Records wisvi11 Woman Dies Missing From Police Files in Accident Police Shotguns Stop City Burglary Suspect Two Denton police officers at a stakeout assignment discharged their shotguns at a burglary suspect early Friday morning. The 20-year-old man was treated and released from Flow Memorial Hospital with two pellet wounds in his thigh and was placed in city jail. Police Chief Wayne Autrey said. The police chief gave this account of the incident: Four officers from the criminal investigation division were staked out at a convenience store on East University early Friday morning.

The store had been burglarized several weeks ago and the owner was suspicious another burglary might occur. At 2:35 a.m. a man was seen approaching the store. The man threw several bricks and rocks through the front window and entered the building, eventually ripping out portions of the ceiling in the apparent belief money was hidden there. Police waited until the man exited the building and then told him to halt.

The man instead began running and continued fleeing after warning shots had been fired into the air. Two officers holding shotguns then discharged their weapons at the man, and the man fell to the ground. The man was then taken to Flow Memorial Hospital, where two pellets were removed from his thigh. The man also received a serious cut from broken glass, apparently as he entered the building. Burglary charges will be filed against the man, Autrey said.

RAMEY, XING NINNIS WASHINGTON (AP) Original police records on the Chappaquiddick incident involving Sen. Edward M. Kennedy are still missing, despite assertions by two former police chiefs that they were returned to the files last April. Officials of the Edgartown police 'department at Martha's Vineyard, cannot find the "We've looked everywhere. We honestly don't know where they are," Patricia McLeod, a special police officer, said in a telephone interview.

The 'mystery of 'the vanished records was raised recently in a book by Carl Gottlieb, a script writer for the movie "Jaws" which was filmed at Martha's Vineyard last summer. Gottlieb said he had been told by Jesse Oliver II, then the chief of the 12-m ember Edgartown department, that the records of the 1969 auto accident that cost the life of Mary Jo Kopechne had disappeared from the files. between the time Gottlieb talked with Oliver and the book was published, the missing documents--including the original accident report and a copy of Kennedy's first statement to police--were said to have been returned to ihe department. Dominick J. Arena, who was Edgartown's police chief at the time of the Chappaquiddick incident, said in another interview that when he quit the de partment in 1973, he took some of the records with him.

Now police chief in Essex Junction, Arena said he wanted the papers for his own use in answering questions from newsmen and others. "The problem was that when you get so.deeply involved in something, you are constantly being questioned," Arena said. He was among the first officials to reach the bridge from which Kennedy's car plunged, and he lateri charged the senator with failing to report the accident. "1 have to 'admit--I'm somewhat red-faced--that I had some of the originals," he said. "I didn't realize- there'were no copies in files.

But since then I've sent them all back. You could in here with a search warrant and you wouldn't find anything." Oliver was suspended as police chief for accepting money from Universal Studios, makers" of "Jaws," and other alleged improprieties. He has since resigned. As to what happened to the documents since then or why the present department officials can't find them, he said, "I have no idea. That's their problem." Jury Finds Leroy Boyd Not Guilty Of Rape A jury in Judge Boyd's 16th Dist.

deliberated about one hour Thursday before finding Leroy Boyd, 29, of Lewisville, innocent of rape. During closing arguments, defense attorney Royce Colemari had told the five- woman, seven-man jury their verdict would depend oh whose, version of the incident the jury believed, the or the alleged A 19-year-old woman had testified during the trial she was asleep in the bedroom of her home in southwest Denton County when she was awakened by Boyd, an acquaintance, who said he had entered the house looking for another person who lived there. After a short conversation about the person, Boyd began making advances toward the woman, then demanded she remove her clothing and forceably raped her. the woman testified. On the witness stand, Boyd denied the woman refused to have intercourse.

"She didn't say yes and she didn't say no," he said. County-Dist. Atty. John Lawhon had argued in his closing statements that Boyd, an ex-convict with numerous felony convictions, was a less credible witness than the woman. A 19-year-old Lewisville woman has died from injuries she received in a weekend traffic accident in Denton, bringing the county's total number of fatalities for the year to 26.

The woman, identified as Kathy Spears, died at Dallas Parkland Hospital Tuesday from head injuries, the Dallas County Medical Examiner's office said. A second Lewisville woman who was injured in the one-car accident was Patricia Lynne Greene, 19. She has been transferred to a San Antonio hospital from a Fort Worth hospital. Both women originally were taken to the emergency room of Westgate Hospital after the Sunday accident. According to DPS Sgt.

C. B. Gulp, the car the two women were in went out of control on I-35E near the Teasley exit early Sunday morning, crossing the median and, overturning before it stopped. SCULPTURED SHAG MuM-Color Nylon IMS "Now. Quality to Reasontble Prices Fulltime Sentice cprroll ccllini 2UW.UnJv.Dr.
