For the Record

■ At opening of the 64th annual

NAACP convention in Indianapolis, Roy Wilkins, bucking the current mood among black leaders, said he was against impeachment of the President and against the President’s resignation on the “basis of evidence submitted thus far.” His statement came a few days after John Dean disclosed the “enemies list” which named all members of the congressional Black Caucus. . . . Clark MacGregor, who headed Committee To Re-elect the President after John Mitchell resigned, says he’s still bewildered at hearing what went on in the Committee while he headed it. Jeb Magrnder, MacGregor’s deputy, testified before the Ervin committee that MacGregor “was [kept] completely in the dark throughout the campaign.” . . . Former McGovern aide Gary Hart says he doesn’t think the election results would have changed even if Watergate had broken lust fall. “We might as well have hung up our gloves,” he said, after Thomas Eagleton had to be replaced by Sargent Shriver. . . . Other Watergate developments: William Ruckelshans, appointed acting director of the FBI when Patrick Gray’s nomination was withdrawn, says he will probably return to Indiana to teach or write. Does he plan to run for the Senate next year against Birch Bayh? No, says Ruckelshaus. Might he be interested in running in ’76 against Vance Hartke who almost lost his race in 1970? Maybe, says Ruckelshaus.
