Reagan doesn’t worry Ford
WASHINGTON (UPI) —
Word from the White House is
that Ronald Reagan doesn’t
scaring President Ford very
much.
A White House official says
he is more concerned about
Ford winning the November
1976 presidential election than
about beating the former
California governor for the
Republican nomination.
The official shook his head no
when asked if Reagan was

feared.
He said Ford’s men see no
reason not to take Reagan at
his word: that he has not yet
made up his mind whether to
seek the GOP nomination, that
he may not decide until year’s
end and that in no way does he
want to be vice president.
According to his aide in the
White House, Ford believes in
running “flat out.” In other
words, Ford believes in using a
steamroller no matter if his foe
Sen. Dean wants tobacco price probe
JESUP, Ga. (UPI) - State
Sen. Roscoe Dean, D-Jesup,
sent a telegram Thursday to
U.S. Sen. Herman Talmadge,
who is chairman of the senate
agriculture committee, asking
that the committee investigate
the low prices that tobacco
buyers are offering Georgia
and Florida farmers.
Dean said he “urgently”
is a giant or a gnat.
Reagan seems to be classed
somewhere between a giant and
a gnat.
The President’s men are
confident of their man and his
chances. The official said Ford
has moved carefully in setting
up machinery for 1976.
In his December 1974 reor
ganization of the White House
staff, Ford named nine men —
including assistant Donald
Rumsfeld, counselor Robert
requested Talmadge’s help
after his office received numer
ous complaints from farmers
on the prices their tobacco
crops were getting on the
market, which just opened two
weeks ago.
Dean said an investigation by
the committee last year pro
duced higher prices almost
immediately after it was
Hartmann and counselor Philip
Buchen — as his senior
advisers. Now, for the race, a
10th senior aide has been
grease-penciled onto the chart.
The tenth man is Georgian
Howard “Bo” Callaway, the
former Army secretary named
to head Ford’s election commit
tee.
The White House official says
Callaway — without White
House office space or being on
the public payroll — will
discovered that many buyers
were only offering farmers a
penny more than the low price
the government offers them.
“They just tell the tobacco
farmer, If you don’t like it sell
it to the government,” Dean
said.
In the telegram Dean
charged that the farmers were
being “robbed” by some large :
operate as do his fellow nine
senior advisers to the Presi
dent.
Callaway can see Ford
whenever he wants. He can
telephone Rumsfeld, Hartmann,
Buchen or anyone else in the
White House.
Os course, it will be to
Rumsfeld that Callaway will go
to make an appointment to see
Ford, and to Rumsfeld that will
go any working papers. Rums
feld remains the most equal of
the 10 equals.
tobacco company “bandits.”
Dean said the cost of farming
tobacco is going up, “yet prices
paid to them are pitifully
poor.”
He said he hopes Talmadge
can act soon and produce the
same results that the agricul
ture committee did last year
before farmers lose much more
money.

FORECAST FOR GRIFFIN AREA — Partly cloudy and warm through tomorrow with
chance of thundershowers, mostly during the afternoon and evening hours. High tomorrow

Survivors recount
their ordeal at sea
YORKTOWN, Va. (UPI) — For more than two weeks
their home was a capsized sailboat drifting aimlessly in
the Atlantic. With their skipper dead, their supplies
dwindled along with their hope for survival.
Clinton Spooner and the three young Stewart brothers —
Roger, 17, Keith, 14, and Gordon, 12 — were tired, hungry
and worn, perhaps only days from death. Several ships
had passed by the wrecked craft, but none saw their
makeshift red distress flags.
Then, on July 14, the 15th day at sea, with limited food
and water supplies nearly exhausted, help arrived in the
form of a passing Greek ship attracted by Spooner’s flag
waving.
"If we hadn’t been picked up by the Greek vessel, we
probably wouldn’t ever have been picked up,” Spooner
said Thursday in recounting the fight for life.
“We had almost given up hope,” admitted Spooner, 30, a
recent law school graduate. ‘ ‘Other ships had passed and I
didn’t think this one saw us. First it passed, but then it
apparently spotted us and turned back.”
He said he did not know how much longer they could
have survived if the ship did not turn arbund.
Spooner returned home Wednesday with the Stewart
boys, but the skipper of the 36-foot trimaran, Dr. Roger B.
Stewart, did not return.
Stewart, 44, the boys’ father, died July 4 after lapsing
into a diabetic coma. His life-saving insulin was
swallowed by the sea as Tropical Storm Amy buffeted and
overturned the boat June 29. He was buried at sea.
The survivors of the sailboat, which had been scheduled
to arrive in Norfolk June 28 on a return trip to Bermuda,
were found by the Greek ship Ellinora 450 miles off the
coast of Cape May, N.J.
After the storm capsized their vessel, they chopped
holes in the hull for a living shelter and checked out what
supplies remained. Spooner said they had only a can of
tomatoes, a can of corn, a can of Spam, a few raw onions,
a bottle of ketchup and peanut butter.
Callaway says Ford
keeps open mind on VP
LOS ANGELES (UPI) -
President Ford is keeping “an
open mind” on who his running
mate will be in next year’s
presidential election, says
Ford’s campaign manager
Howard “Bo” Callaway.
He expressed confidence
Thursday Ford could defeat
any challenge from former
Gov. Ronald Reagan for the
Republican nomination, and
thinks Ford could beat Reagan
even in California, saying the
state was not necessarily
“Reagan country.”
Callaway told a news confer
ence that while Ford is not
commiting himself to retaining
Vice President Nelson Rockefel
ler, that does not mean
Rockefeller will be bumped.

“Nothing that I’m saying is
anti-Rockefeller. People keep
trying to get me in a dump
Rockefeller position, which I
am not,” he said.
Ford “supports Rockefeller
as vice president and as part of
his team for this term of the
administration. The President
is not committed to Rockefeller
at the convention for the second
term,” Calloway said,
“The President will keep an
open mind on that. It is not
traditional for a President to
decide this early that a vice
president will be supported.”
Reagan has said he may
challenge Ford for the nomina
tion but is still undecided.
