privacy of his skyscraper Plaza Hotel
suite, soliciting advice from former
President Gerald Ford and other GOP
leaders while delegates volunteered
their recommendations from a distan-
ce.
FORMER MICHIGAN Sen. Robert
Griffin said yesterday he thinks Ford
will be offered the vice presidential spot
by his old rival Reagan, but Griffin is
far from sure the former president will
take it.
Griffin and former Michigan Gov.
George Romney plugged Ford earlier
in the day in a caucus of the Michigan
delegation, and the one-time lawmaker
said he had heard from a source in the
Reagan camp that an offer was im-
minent.
But the view from the 69th floor was
the only one that counted, and Reagan,
on the eve of his Republican presiden-
tial nomination, wasn't hinting at his
choice.
"No change, no word," said Sen.
Richard Lugar of Indiana. Lugar, who
wants the nomination for himself, said
he had no news from the Reagan camp.
Reagan discussed prospective run-
ning mates with Ford, explaining, "I
just wanted his consultation and help.
He analyzed, gave his thoughts on
everybody."

Bat droppings
The tranquil summer life of residents on Magnolia Street in West
Chester, Pa. has been interrupted by a flood of dead bats plummeting from
the sky. Residents are baffled by the dozens of flying vermin -dead or near
dead-that have dropped from the air in the past week. "People are just
snoveling them up and throwing them away," resident Cindy Richardson
said Monday. The Chester County Department of Health, concerned about
health hazards posed by the dead bats, have shipped several of them off to
the state department of agriculture to check them for possible rabies. A
department spokesperson speculated a Magnolia Street resident may have
started the decline of the bats by spraying against gypsy moths. The bats, he
said, would eat the poisoned insects and become ill. [
On the outside
Conditions are expected to remain very hot and humid with a good
chance of thundershowers throughout the day. Today's high temperature
should hover near the 90' mark. D

You can save a lot of
gasoline -and a lot of
money -if you use the phone
before you use your car.
By calling ahead, you
can be sure the restaurant
is open ... the store has
what you want ... or the
friend you want to visit is
home - before you waste
time, gas and money on an
unnecessary trip. On the
average, you waste about
a dollar's worth of gas on
every unnecessary trip -
and just two wasted trips
a week can cost you more
than $100 worth of gas
a year.
Saving energy is easier
than you think, and with the
rising energy costs we're
facing today, it's never
been more important. So
the next time you pick up
your car keys and head for
the door, ask yourself
whether a phone call could
save you the trip -and
the wasted gas.

more easy energy-saving
tips, write "Energy," Box 62,
