The young militants

his implied approval to the

Republicans George Bush
and John B: Anderson .were
locked in a dramatic
Massachusetts standoff to-
day after Ronald Reagan
inched to victory in Ver-
mont. The two tight New
England contests point to
the kind of stalemate that
might entice former Presi-
dent Gerald. Ford into the
GOP presidential race/
Sen. Edward Kennedy
got a lift for his Democratic
challenge with a landslide
victory oyer President
Carter in home-state
Massachusetts. Carter
Bush led by little more
than 600 votes out of more
than 373,000 cast in the
Republican primary, in
Massachusetts with 96 per-
cent of the precincfs repor-
ting. Reagan’s margin was
616 votes With 99 percent
counted in a Vermont
primary that drew more
than 62,000 GOP ballots.
Reagan ran third in
Massachusetts, close
behind Bush and Anderson.
The results were so close*
that unofficial morning-
scheduled by News Elec-
on Saturday to the conser-
vative South, with a
Republican primary in
South Carolina, and, con-
tests to follow on Tuesday
in Florida, Georgia and
Alabama.
While Anderson said he
had proven his national
campaign credentials, he is
bypassing^ those states to
concentrate . next on the
March 18 primary in his Il-
linois home. ‘ -

Houston Post columnist Lynn Ashby are going fast. Sales opened at 8 am. Monday
and in 15 minutes 320 of the 450 tickets were sold. However, Jenny Sparks, left, and
