Ford has talk
with talent man
By HELEN THOMAS
UPI White House Reporter
WASHINGTON (UPI) -
President Ford meets today
with his talent scout, former
Pennsylvania Gov. William W.
Scranton, to look over a long
list of candidates to replace
Nixon administration holdovers.
White House officials said
Ford also has asked other
members of his administration
to be on the lookout for new
faces to fill some of the
expected vacancies in the
cabinet and the White House
hierarchy.
Ford in a surprise appoint
ment Wednesday named
George Bush, Republican na
tional chairman, as U.S. envoy
to China and recommended
Mary Louise Smith to take his
place.
Mrs. Smith, who will be 60
Friday, was appointed cochair
man last February after an
active political career in her
native lowa. She would be the
first woman to serve in the
GOP post.
Ford also recommended that
Richard B. Obenshain, chair
man of the Virginia Republican
Party, succeed Mrs. Smith in
the No. 2 spot of the party
leadership.
The GOP National Committee
has been summoned to a
meeting Sept. 16 to endorse
Ford’s recommendations.
Ford also announced he was
nominating economic counselor
Kenneth Rush to be ambassa
dor to France, succeeding John
N. Irwin 11.
He selected former Sen. John
Sherman Cooper, R-Ky., to be
the nation’s first ambassador to
East Germany.
There was continued specula
tion that Sen. J. W. Fulbright,
D-Ark., chairman of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee,
would be named to succeed
Walter Annenberg as ambassa
dor to Great Britain.
Fulbright, currently on a trip
to China, was defeated in a
primary bid for re-election
earlier this year.
White House Press Secretary
J. F. terHorst also signaled the
imminent return of Gen.
Alexander M. Haig, White
House chief of staff, to the
military services.
Haig’s name has been sub
mitted to members of NATO
for approval for the position of
supreme allied commander, but
the selection was reported to
have run into opposition from
the Dutch Foreign Ministry,
which feels Haig is too closely
tied to former President Rich
ard Nixon.
According to terHorst, Haig
“has always felt the Army was
his home and the Army is the
place where he would like to
return to.”
Scranton has made it clear he
does not want any position in
the Ford administration and
simply has been enlisted to
recruit the big names for Ford
for future Cabinet and other
high-level government posts.
Ford was expected to be
preoccupied most of today with
a preliiminary White House
conference to plan for the Sept.
27-28 economic summit.
The President also plans to
meet before the end of the
week with Defense Secretary
James Schlesinger and Attor
ney General William B. Saxbe
to further explore a plan for
offering conditional amnesty to
war resisters.
He expects to announce a
decision early next week.
Georgia
escapee
is held
GREENVILLE, S. C. (UPI)-
An escapee from Jackson Coun
ty, Ga. was being held today in
connection with the murder of
a Greenville man near Waynes
ville, N. C.
Officials said Gary Fleeman,
24, had been charged with the
death of Ralph Garrett, 51. Flee
man, who had been arrested in
Bartow, Fla. on an armed rob
bery charge, led law enforce
ment officials to Garrett’s body
Wednesday night.
Garrett had just returned to
the U. S. from the Panama Ca
nal Zone where he was a teach
er.
Officers said Fleeman, who
was serving time in Jackson
County for shooting and wound
ing his mother and father, first
met Garrett in Atlanta. They
went to Greenville by bus July
25 where they stayed with Gar
rett’s relatives.
Garrett then bought a new car
and the two decided to go to
Nashville, Tenn. Officials said
the two began arguing while on
Interstate 40 north of Waynes
ville.
Matthews
facing
charges
ATLANTA (UPI)-Trial has
been set for Sept. 18 for Eddie
Mathews, former manager of
the Atlanta Braves who was ar
rested Wednesday for drunken
driving.
Mathews, who was fired July
21 as manager, ran a red light
at 55 miles an hour in a 35
m.p.h. zone, according to the
arrest report.
“No comment,” Mathews
said. “It was my own fault.*

era not over
By WILLIAM STRACENER.
ATLANTA (UPI)-“Send the
message to the people—Lester
says thanks.”
That was one message Lt.
Gov. Lester Maddox hoped
would get across. The main
message, which he hoped would
carry him back to the
governor’s office, never got
anywhere.
Maddox finally conceded
Wednesday that George Busbee
had inflicted “a staggering de
feat” in Tuesday’s Democratic
gubernatorial runoff. He said it
was “not very likely” he would
seek office again.
“It’s not the end of an era
in Georgia politics,” he said,
adding his oft - expressed fear
about a national trend away
from morality, honesty and re
ligion. “I don’t know if he
(Busbee) represents a new
Georgia.”
Maddox said he was in debt
to the tune of a quarter of mil
lion dollars because of his un
successful campaign and pledg
ed to sell his house if neces
sary to meet his obligations.
“I hope my friends will be
generous,” he,said.
Busbee, meanwhile, termed it

could have been a spinoff from
