DETROIT (AP) — Half of Oklahoma’s dele-
gates to the Republican National Convention
say they favor New York Congressman Jack
Kemp as Ronald Reagan’s running mate but a
large contingent would prefer to see George
Bush share the ticket.
Neal McCaleb of Edmond, a delegate at large
and minority leader of the Oklahoma House of
Representatives, says he believes a moderate
running mate like Bush for Ronald Reagan
would greatly aid state Republican hopefuls in
November and broaden the Oklahoma party’s
base.
A caucus poll showed that 17 delegates want
Kemp, a former professional football quarter-
back, while McCaleb and about 10 others want
Bush.
“We are going to need someone who is expe-
rienced in Washington and someone who can
handle foreign policy,” McCaleb said. “We
need George Bush.”

By The Associated Press
Iran’s ruling Revolutionary Coun-
cil ordered the nation’s borders
closed today and Thursday to pre-
vent the escape of conspirators in
the plot against Ayatollah Ruhollah
Khomeini’s regime, and the trial of
some 500 people arrested in the plot
will begin shortly, Tehran Radio
reported.
“From this date, all arrivals and
departures through the land, air and
sea borders of the Islamic Republic
of Iran are forbidden for 48 hours,”
the official Pars news agency said.
“It is only for a limited period, as
approved by the Revolutionary
Council, but of course if it is neces-
sary during this period the matter
will be reviewed,” the prosecutor-
general, Ayatollah Mucavi Ardabili
said.
Hasan Habibi, the council’s I
spokesman, said Iran has asked
Turkey to extradite two Iranian air ,
force lieutenants involved in the |
plot. The officers flew their helicop- l
ter to Turkey over the weekend and E
asked for asylum. *
President Abolhassan Bani-Sadr I
said after a meeting with Khomeini I
that the trial of the those arrested in ■
the plot would begin today or Thurs- a
