San Diego may be kickoff point SAN DIEGO, Calif. (AP) — President Nixon, who once wanted to win renomination in San Diego, may still launch his re-election campaign in what he has called his “lucky city,” an aide said Wednesday. Presidential counsellor Robert Finch said Nixon has indicated that he wants to come to San Diego when the Republican National Convention ends Aug. 23 in Miami Beach, Fla. A decision about whether to use San Diego for a nationally televised public kickoff to the 1972 campaign probably will be made next week, Finch said in an interview. It depends in part on arrangements for a trip to Japan for conferences between Nixon and the new Japanese prime minister, said Finch, adding that Beil’s Po^r House ..— -- _ TGIT mm (Formerly Taylor's) y-10 pm reiT IAPPY HOUR Thursday Night Wine Oly on tap Good Food Pool 894 E. 13th Across from Co Op _ , -1 Nixon probably will spend a week in Southern California as soon as the convention is over. If San Diego is chosen, Finch said it would serve to make amends for the Republican party’s decision in May moving the 1972 convention to Miami Beach. Several party leaders in San Diego have been upset about the site change after a year of planning. Nixon launched his 1968 campaign in San Diego, about 55 miles south of what now is his Western White House at San Clemente. A San Diego businessman and Nixon backer, Albert Harutunian, told a reporter: “The President started out here successfully in 1968 and he would be missing a bet if he doesn’t do it again.” Finch was in San Diego for a round of speeches and public appearances.
