Washington Governor Daniel Evans, 50, could bring some of the Reagan Far West popularity and non-Washington image to the ticket. Illinois Congressman John Anderson, 54, a moderate, is popular in the House and Midwest. U.N. Ambassador and former Pennsylvania Governor William Scranton, 59, is an able Ford friend and confidant who is also highly popular with moderates, intellectuals and Easterners; but his name evokes memories of the bitter 1964 Republican Convention, when he made a late and abortive effort to block Barry Goldwater's nomination...

The U.S. made no commitments, in part because relations between Washington and Jerusalem are once again slightly strained.
