THE SALEM SALEM, OHIO, TUESDAY, AUGUST 17, 1976 WEATHER lear, cool tonight. Low in 50 s. Sunny, Wednesday. High 8085. 15c SINGLE COPY 85c PER WEEK DELIVERED Ford, Reagan Head For Rules, Platform Clashes KANSAS CITY, Mo.

With party rules and platform planks as the issues, Gerald R. Ford and Ronald Reagan are heading into the first critical test of their delegate strength at the 1976 Republican National Convention Reagan and his strategists chose the issues on which the key votes would be taken tonight, but as the time for balloting drew near Ford's delegate total in the contest for the presidential nomination moved to within three votes of the 130 needed tor victory. The latest Associated Press survey, based on legal commitments and publicly stated preferences, gave Ford 1,127, Reagan 1,036. with 96 uncommitted. For weeks the Ford camp has claimed the President had 1,135 votes, while Reagan's managers have said the former California governor was certain of 1,140 votes on the first ballot for the presidential nomination.

But those claims were viewed largely as part of the intense political. psychological warfare the two men aimed at each other and at the uncommitted delegates who hold the key to the aspirations of both men. The roll call votes tonight, occurring just 24 hours before the presidential balloting, will be taken as a clear-sign of which man will leave Kansas City as the Republican nominee for president. A decisive victory for either man could cripple the chance for the nomination. The Reagan forces are geared for a floor fight tonight on their proposal to require that each presidential candidate name his proposed running mate before the balloting on the presidential nomination.

Reagan backers call it the to rule. The Ford camp describes it as attempt to force the President to endure an uproar similar to that which Reagan encountered when he named Sen. Richard S. Schweiker as his choice for the vice presidential nomination. backers called the Reagan proposal the loves rule.

The other major fight planned by the Reagan camp involves the foreign policy plank in the Republican platform which will be presented to the convention for approval. Entitled in Foreign the Reagan amendment to the platform would insert a statement implicitly critical of the policy of detente with the Soviet Union pursued by Ford and of State Henry A. Kissinger. The Reagan statement would put the Republican party on record as supporting many of the criticisms of Ford foreign policy that the former California governor used as campaign issues. Nonetheless, some Ford advisers were recommending that the President accept the amendment and avoid a divisive floor fight, according to sources close to the campaign.

Sen. Robert P. Griffin of Michigan, convention floor manager, said a final decision on how to deal with the proposal probably wouldn't be made until Ford strategists could assess the vote on the rules, scheduled to come up before the platform committee report. The proposed plank include the following statements: will be a foreign policy which recognizes that in international negotiations we must make no undue concessions: that in pursuing detente we must not grant teral favors with only the hope of getting in return." "Agreements that are negotiated, such as the one signed in Helsinki, must not take from those who do not have freedom the hope of one day gaining we are committed to a foreign policy in which secret agreements, hidden from our people, will Turn to GOP, Page 6 On November Ballot 1 Applegate Is Named JJCftCl Ur IVxlS To Replace Rep Hays Tyi State Sen Douglas tress, Elizabeth Ray, and other JL.
