President Ford, in a steady rain at Weir-Cook airport in Indianapolis, said he is confident of a first ballot GOP nomination at August's Kansas City convention. He called his Jaycees trip non political and noted no plans for a political mission before the convention. Ford discussed anti-busing legislation, education court overreach, and racial equality. He commented on the Don Bolles murder case and said a federal probe would proceed if warranted. The Indiana stop, like his Norfolk trip, is paid from federal funds, while Ford and Reagan aim to avoid open platform fights.
