GOP platform leans to Ford
('snnUs Ic::, t'sgl)
cessfully so far.
Burch's reaction to Reed's
statement was that the Ford list
of vice presidential possibili-
ties "is quite long and it covers
the entire Republican spec-
trum."
Ford's chances of picking up
Mississippi's 30 delegate votes
were enhanced when Reed an-
nounced he could not support
Reagan after the former Cali-
fornia governor said he would
name Sen. Richard Schweiker,
a liberal, as his running mate.
BUT REED'S new statement
noted that Ford's list of vice
presidential possibilities was
r e p o r t e d to include Sens.
Charles Percy of Illinois, Low-
ell Weicker of Connecticut,
Mark Itatfield of Oregon and
Edward Brooke of Massachu-
setts. Reed said they all "more
often vote with the Democrats
than their own party."
At the same time, both Ford
and Reagan delegate counters
were watching for any changes
resulting from Buckley's dec-
laration that he is considering
getting into the presidential
race.
"I have not found much senti-
ment in any area for Mr. Buck-
ley," Sears said.
Burch also said he had
heard of no changes.
Nonetheless, preconvention
speculation focused on the pos-
sible effect Buckley's entry
into the race would have on the
fortunes of Ford and Reagan.
BUCKLEY, campaigning for
re-election in New York, was
under heavy pressure to stop
toying with the idea of becom-
ing a candidate for the presi-
dential nomination. Most of the
heat was coming from New
York delegates.
The full platform committee,
where Ford supporters are be-
lieved to hold a slight advan-
tage, was debating the planks
drafted by various subcommit-
tees. Tlpe subcommittees ar-
gued far into the night on
Wednesday.
A fight was expected over
the Equal Rights Amendment.
The draft plank supports efforts
to ensure equality for women
but does not mention or endorse
the amendment. F e m i n i s t
groups were campaigning to
have an endorsement of the
amendment included in the plat-
form. Ford supports the amend-
ment; Reagan opposes it.
DURING THE early debate
before the full committee, Rea-
gan supporters defeated an at-
tempt to water down a plank
putting the Republicans on re-
cord in opposition to all forms
of gun control. Reagan opposes
all proposals for registration of
firearms. Ford, while general-
ly opposed to gun control, has
Milliken
LANSING (UPI) - Gov. Wil-
liam Milliken signed into law
much of the fiscal 1976-77 state
b u d g e t yesterday, including
funding for school aid, the op-
eration of state colleges and
universities, the various depart-
ments of state government and
construction projects.
The $259.3 million Department
of Education budget, a slight
increase over 1975-76 spending,
supported measures to outlaw
cheap handguns, so-called "Sat-
urday Night Specials."
Some of the most heated de-
bate during the late-night ses-
sions on Wednesday was before
the foreign policy subcommittee
w h e r e Reagan supporters
fought for approval of planks
that would reflect the Califor-
nian's campagin positions on
the Panama Canal and detente.
But the Ford backers prevail-
ed by narrow margins.
Rather than commit negotia-
tors to retaining U. S. sove-
reignty over the Panama Ca-
nal, the subcommittee approv-
ed a plank saying negotiators
should not give up rights over
any area that is "necessary for
the protection and security of
the United States and the entire
Western Hemisphere."
IT WAS ON the foreign policy
planks that Ford strategists
felt they had to engage in a test
of strength with the Reagan
forces rather than commit the
party to positions contradicting
the policies pursued by Ford
and Secretary of State Henry
Kissinger. The subcommittee
votes gave Ford a narrow edge
in the first major convention
confrontation.
On domestic issues such as
abortion and school busing, the
Ford and Reagan positions
were close enough. in principle
that the President's managers
felt he had plenty of room for
agreement.
The platform committee's
deadline to complete drafting
the GOP positions on foreign
and domestic issues is noon
today. Convention managers
said the platform had to be
complete by then so the docu-
ment could be printed and
ready for distribution to dele-
gates when they arrive on
Sunday.

fend Tal Zaatar to the bitter
end. '
The chief Arab League me-
diator, lassan Sabri Kholi,
said recently that the battle for
Tal Zantar was the main stum-
bling block to a cease-fire in
the Lebanese conflict, in which
Moslem leftists have been
seeking a greater share of po-
litical and economic power from
the Christians. The Palestin-
ians ined the fighting in an
effort to maintain their semi-
autonomy from the Christian-
dominated Lebanese govern-
ment.
The flight of emaciated, weep-
ing civilians was arranged by
the Tnternational Red Cross and
Palestinian civilian leaders
from within the camp, who ne-
gotiated directly with Christian
militia officers leading the
siege.
THE RADIO station of Pierre
Gemavel's right - wing Chris-
tian Phalange party claimed the
evacuation was secretly agreed
to by Palestinian security chief
Abu Hassan in a Wednesday
night meeting with Gemayel's
nephew Alexandre.
Estimates of the number of
people inside the devastated
hovels of Tal Zaatar had rang-
ed as high as 30,000, including
Lebanese Moslems, but this
was never certain because resi-
dents filtered out over the
months of fighting. A nurse
evacuated from the camp last
week said as many as 2,000
may have been killed during the
siege.
NO GUERRILLA fighters
were seen among those who
fled the camp yesterday, and
Palestinian spokesmen claim-
ed a small number were still
standing firm.
"The ammunition ran out.
Rocket launchers were there,
but without rockets. We ran
out of water, out of food, out of
everything," said the wrinkle-
faced Palestinian refugee, Ab-
d'illah Youssif Joumah, as he
wiped away tears with his
white kaffieh, the Arab head-
dress.
