Imprisonment has done nothing to shake Sara Jane Moore's belief that her attempt to assassinate Gerald Ford five years ago was the right thing to do. But now, 50 years old and serving a life term, Ms. Moore says her days as a would-be presidential assassin are over. "I'm not at this time a potential assassin of anyone," she said in a telephone interview from the Federal Correctional Institution at Alderson. "The fact that I'm | well-known, I've been in prison and my age, well it's not a I role for me. I can be more effective in other ways, like writing or speaking, rather than as an assassin."

Reagan's brief stopover in Columbia during a Southeastern campaign swing will closely parallel in format President Carter's visit to Greenville and Spartanburg counties last week. Details of the former California governor s visit were released Monday by U.S. Rep. Carroll Campbell, R-S.C., chairman of Reagan's South Carolina campaign. Reagan is scheduled to arrive at Columbia Metropolitan Airport at noon on Friday the 10th. He will travel by motorcade to the State House, where he will address a rally on the Capitol steps at 12:30 p.m. After a $500-per-couple fund-raiser at the home of local realtor Walter M.

Bryan Patrick Jr. will be among the Republican leaders on hand to greet Reagan. Disaster in 39 counties The federal Small Business Administration has declared 39 counties disaster areas, Gov. Riley said Tuesday. The declaration of physical disaster because of the summer's drought will enable farmers who have had crop damage to apply for low interest loans, the announcement said. Beegie Truesdale of the governor's staff said farmers in counties bordering on the 39 are also eligible for aid, meaning the entire state is included. The Small Business Administration earlier this month approved an economic injury declaration for the state, which meant agriculture-related businesses hurt by dry weather could apply for loans.
