But no explosives were found. The beefed-up police force of 1,600 officers searched several other locations, including the Watts Summer Festival parade route and a rally for New York evangelist Frederick Eikerenkoetter, better known as Reverend Ike. No bombs were found. "A lot of people feel they recognize the voice or know somebody similar who have some reason to do something like that," said Sgt. Dwight Stewart of the Los Angeles police department's criminal conspiracy division.

"Most of the calls are on voice recognition after listening to a tape from the man on the news." Rasim vowed to "write our name in blood" and said was for airport and was for locker and life. The letter presumably was due for the third explosion. In three tapes delivered to radio stations, Rasim has said his group would explode more bombs, including on Capitol Hill in Washington, unless all immigration laws are repealed, and unless two retired Los Angeles police officers are arrested for murder in. the 1970 mistake slayings of two Mexican nationals. Rasim's nationality so far has escaped detection.

Lan-gauge experts in Washington who have studied the tapes believe Rasim's accent is Hungarian, Estonian or Lithuanian. But residents here were obviously jittery. Only 6,000 of an expected 20,000 persons showed up at the rally for Reverend Ike. And the Watts Summer Festival Concert at the Los Angeles Coliseum, headlined by vocalist Stevie Wonder, attracted only about 3,000 persons. It drew around 75,000 persons last year.

Construction is under way on the missing links of Interstate 40 from Asheville Highway into Jefferson County. When these links are finished, 1-40 will be open all the way from Memphis to Asheville, N.C. The Overton Park segment of the interstate has been delayed by a long court dispute between environmentalists and highway engineers. But 1-40 traffic feeds into alternate interstate routes in Memphis, so that motorists now can travel from eastern New Mexico to Knoxville on an uninterrupted ribbon of interstate highway. Dunn noted that "more than 100 miles of interstate highway have been completed and opened during my administration," raising the total of interstate miles now open in Tennessee lo 868 miles.

A total of 1,045 miles of interstate highway has been allocated to Tennessee. The governor noted that the administration hopes to complete this year Interstate 81.

on bail while Calley appeals his courtmartial conviction in the 1968 My Lai massacre. Powell denied without comment a petition submitted to him last week by Calley's attorney, J. Houston Gordon of Covington, which claimed that Calley "has shown himself to be a good citizen and not to be a menace to society." Calley has been in custody since June 20 when he entered a military stockade at Ft. Benning, after the U.S. Circuit Court in New Orleans ruled he was not entitled to bail.

The Supreme Court refused on June 25 to stay that action of the circuit court.

Winfield Dunn noted the action "means all four of our major metropolitan area centers, Memphis, Nashville, Chattanooga and Knoxville, will be linked by safe four-lane highways." Opening of the four-lane, interstate section which Dunn dedicated today means that Interstate 40 now is open all the way from Overton Park in Memphis to Asheville Highway in Knoxville. The total cost of the project opened today was $23.5 million, more than $2.5 million per mile.

Because of an unstable geological formation which crosses Tennessee from Kentucky to Alabama along the eastern slope of the Cumberlands, landslides resulted in the roadbed sliding off the mountain almost as fast as it could be completed.

CHICAGO (AP) -President Ford has narrowed the field of potential vice presidental nominees to about a half-dozen and probably ill announce his selection Tuesday, his aides said today. President counselor Robert Hartmann told reporters aboard Ford's plane en route to Chicago. "I think he's narrowed it down to maybe six." Hartmann gave no names. But, he said, the nominee will be a Republican and the current possibilities are "not all in any one clasS," such as senators, congressmen or governors.

White House Press Secretary Jerald F. terllorst also said Ford had not made a final decision but would "spend a lot of time" on his deliberations today after returning from Chicago for an address to the Veterans of Foreign Wars. As speculation continued about Ford's choice, there were indications he may select someone other than the two men most frequently mentioned as front-runners Nelson A. Rockefeller and George- Bush. Ford said on Sunday he expects to decide on his vice presidential choice by Tuesday.

Congressional confirmation hearings on' the nominee won't start before mid-September. Rockefeller is the only possibility Ford has mentioned publicly. He did so in a statement Saturday a fternoon amid a flurry7 of speculation surrounding what the White House said was an effort by "right-wing extremists" to smear the former New York governor and destroy his chances has advised me that former governor Rockefeller has been and remains under consideration for the vice presidential nomination." press secretary Jerald F. terllorst told reporters. However, two knowledgeable Capitol Hill Republican sources told The Associated Press that chances were growing that neither Rockefeller nor Bush, the Republican National Chair man and top choice of many GOP conservatives, would be picked.

The sources said those in contention include NATO Ambassador Donald Rumsfeld, a Ford intimate who has been working on the transition from the Nixon administration; Gov. Daniel J. Evans of Washington, a moderate without any connection with Watergate and any other Nixon administration controversies; and three Republican Senators, Lowell P. Wei-cker Jr. of Connecticut, and Howard H.

Baker Jr. and Bill Brock of Tennessee. Both Weicker and Baker, served on the "Senate Watergate committee, where the Connecticut senator was the most outspoken Nixon critic. One source said background checks on Bush had turned up a potential problem. Newsweek magazine on Sunday said Bush has "slipped badly because of alleged irregularities in the financing of his 1970 Senate race in Texas." The magazine quoted unnamed White House sources as saying there was "potential embarrassment in reports that the Nixon White House had funneled about $10,000 from a secret fund into Bush's losing Senate campaign four years ago." Bush could not be reached immediately for comment.

But in Houston, Bush's 1970 state and county finance chairmen denied there had been any irregularities in his campaign. Presidential advisers were still saying over the weekend that Ford had given no indication of whom he favors The personable, 50-yt-ar-old Bush is the clear favorite of many House members and party officials, including some conservatives who prefer Sen. Barry Golduater of Arizona and Gov. Ronald Reagan of California but realize neither is in serious contention. Several Ford advisers have been openly pushing for the 66-year-old Rockefeller, who resigned last year after 15 years as governor to prepare for a fourth presidential bid in 1976.
