Ed Rollins, campaign direc tor of Reagan-Bush ’84, said in an interview that Reagan will most likely make his plans known in “a televised address, probably from the Oval Office, but I have not worked out the details.” “Do you see any possible way that he is not running?” Rollins was asked. “No, I don’t see any possible way that he is not running,” Rol lins said. “Senator Laxalt talked to the president regarding this question, and the president told the senator that he intended on announcing his decision after the State of the Union, or by the end of the next month, January.” Sen. Paul Laxalt of Nevada is general chairman of the Repub lican Party, Reagan’s closest friend in the Senate and was chairman of his 1976 and 1980 campaigns. Rollins said that in conversa tions he has had with Real “for months now” there never been any indication he is not going to run.” agai “ha THE HOLIDAYS ARE A “I think in the president’s mind he wants to reserve the time when he begins to formally be a candidate,” Rollins said. TIME TO BE CHEERFUL| iAND ALIVE, SO AFTER fuTdrinking festivities. PLEASE DON’T DRIVE. “I think his reluctance to get out front clearly has been based on two factors: one, he doesn’t have any primary opposition and he can pick his team; secondly, there are some very hard decisions that he has to make with the budget and the State of the Union, that he needs to make prior to when he for mally becomes a candidate.” HAVE A VERY Reagan will campaign during the primary season as if he had opposition, Rollins said. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR ! Reagan himself will not cam paign as extensively as he has in the past and will rely on Vice President George Bush and other surrogates, Rollins said. DEPT.

United Press International E) Salvador’s largest rebel group, in a further sign of an apparent split within the leftist ranks, accused a top-ranking guerrilla leader Sunday of ordering the murder of his chief lieutenant earlier this year. Vice President George Bush arrived in El Salvador Sunday where he stressed the import ance of confronting Marxist aggression in the region, saying “communist enslavement only brings more poverty.” Bush, leading the highest- level U.S. delegation ever to visit war-torn El Salvador, said “both our societies are determined to resist communist aggression. This is not an easy task. “I think that the lesson of his tory is clear. The communists promise to trade material well being for freedom; but we have seen time and time again that communist enslavement only brings more poverty,” the vice president said. Bush, however, did not men tion a recent campaign by U.S. officials to persuade El Salvador to crack down on rightist death squads.
