A California gov. Ronald Rea Gan has changed his tune an there Are signs a drive is build ing to win him the Republican presidential nomination at the National convention. No longer does Reagan say i Ani not a candidate or even i am not a declared  instead he says my name will be placed in nomination. Obviously at that time i can reconsidered a candidate by Dele Gates so  no longer does Reagan at tempt to publicly discourage efforts on his behalf by group such As the National citizens for Reagan organization base Din Topeka. Kan. He has Given his permission for the Topeka group to show a film of his june 13 address i Indianapolis ind., during a half hour of prime National television network time next sunday evening july 21. The Cost i estimated at up to $100,000. The film is expected to be accompanied by a pitch for Dele Gates to vote for Reagan at Hegop convention opening aug. 5 in Miami Beach Fla. I be Given up some time ago trying to Stop the unofficial Campaign conducted by Citi Zens for Reagan the governor told a news conference Las week. The movement kept springing up. There were Well intentioned people that insisted on their right to make this Effort and told me they were. And i be tried to level with  Reagan vigorously denied Asa total fabrication this past week a Boston newspaper re port that he would announce his formal candidacy on the july 21telecast. Reagan said recently it would serve no purpose for him to announce his candidacy before the convention opened. This is consistent with the strategy of some men close to Reagan who have dreamed of the Chance to win him the Nomi nation. Their strategy 1. Have him go to Miami Beach unsullied by pre Conven Tion campaigning against fellow republicans and a party hero for his fund raising efforts. 2. Put him up As the Only Man who can unify the party and de feat the democratic , Reagan continues to insist his role As a favor Teeson candidate from California is designed to assure party Unity and to give California its proper voice in the convention. He says his out of state speak ing engagements which have raised More than $4 million forthe party during the past year and a half Are just part of his party  it is not an at tempt to gather Delegate vote sat the National convention he adds. An influential California re publican a member of the 86 v o t e Reagan delegation says there Are a lot of people who Are putting pressure on Rea Gan to make an outright Effort to win the  the Republican who asked that his name not reused said in private conversations with the governor Idon t get the impression that he s very revved up about  by Holder open the possibility of his candidacy Reagan is Uble to remain in the National spotlight and draw Large crowds to his fund raising speeches this Republican says. Reagan has been careful notto personally cast doubts on for Mer vice president Richard  s ability to win. But from time to time he has taken not of other politicians references to Nixon s loser , he carefully has avoided any impression he is trying totem up with new York gov. Nelson a. Rockefeller to thwart first ballot Victory for Nixon. Reagan reacted coolly Las week to Rockefeller s Sugges Tion that chances for a Rockefeller Reagan ticket with Reagan the vice presidential candidate should not be ruled out. I am not interested in the vice presidency Reagan told reporters. Reagan s position says on prominent Delegate is causing a lot of resentment among re publicans in California and in the  feeling is that Reagan is being presumptuous if he really is hoping to become a prominent  ought to learn the Job Here said the Delegate a Nix on supporter. Nixon s a California boy. He earned his letter  he and those who Strong Lyback Nixon express the fear Reagan will hold the state s 86votes for himself even if it s obvious Nixon will win on the first ballot. This would Embarrass them the delegates say depriving California of the Chance to help nominate the candidate if it is to be Nixon on uie first bal lot. He and others say Reagan has extracted a virtual blood pledge that they will stay with Reagan until to allows them to vote for another candidate and even then the object would be for the entire delegation to votes a unit. One Delegate estimated the sentiment runs this Way about 30 per cent for Nixon 20 percent for Rockefeller and 50 per cent who would vote with Rea Gan All the Way under any circumstances.
