LEXINGTON, Ky (AP)-Republican backed away today from expi jssing group support for President Nixon's decision to deploy the Safeguard anti-ballistic missile ABM system on the advice of Vice President Spiro T. Agnew. Gov. Raymond P. Shafer of Pennsylvania told a new conference after a closed Terence session that Agnew had advised the governors he did not believe they should act on the ABM issue because such action would be interpreted it partisan.

It was not a partisan matter, Shafer quoted Agnew as telling the governors. The governors also sidestepped any group action on campus disorders. Previously, Gov. Ronald Reagan of California, the conference chairman, had taken a hard line calling for punishment of. those who participate in violence.
