Reagan, Bush begin intense campaign From United Press International President Reagan, countering a popularity slip since the Democratic convention, yesterday began a blitz that includes a news conference, a three-state campaign trip and some barnstorming by Vice President George Bush. The Democrats' newly installed team, after a week of uncontested at- tention during the party's convention in San Francisco, mostly stayed out of the limelight. Walter Mndale concentrated on catching fish in Minnesota yester- day, while running mate Geraldine Ferraro spent most of the day catching up on work at her congressional office in New York. REAGAN, WHO met with Salvadoran President Jose Napoleon Duarte at the White House yesterday, fended off questions about public opinion polls showing his once-commanding lead over Mondale gone. The latest Gallup Poll gives Mondale a 48-46 edge over Reagan, the first time the incumbent has trailed a Democratic challenger since his presidency began. "It's natural for a political party to show a blip after a convention," said a Reagan campaign strategist. "That's historically true." Reagan plans to counter the Democrats with a high exposure week of his own, beginning with a nationally televised news conference tonight at 8 p.m. EDT. On Wednesday he travels to Texas for a series of appearances, including a rally with Bush in Austin, and the next dayhe swings through Georgia and then New Jersey. 0 6 0 0 Break a leg 12-year-old Christopher Jones of New York break dances yesterday on State Street. anno wren Rich Stat( By high tape pros El wou in hi "n'' prof tern issu La Leo just whe Prosecutor recalls Nixon tape ruling SHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court ruling "THERE WAS great tension in the air.
