change in foreign policy with
the superpowers.
In recent weeks with the
heating up of the primary
campaign, Ronald Reagan has
criticized “detente” as a one
way policy with the United
States making most of the
concessions. He said that the
only benefit the United States
has won from the policy has
been “Pepsi Cola in Siberia.”
The Soviet intervention in the
Angolan civil war also has
aroused some disenchantment
with the policy.
Ford made his remarks in a
television interview (WCKT
TV).
“I don’t use the word detente
any more,” he said. “I think
what we ought to say is that
the United States will meet
with superpowers—the Soviet
Union, China and others—and
seek to relax tensions so that
we can continue a policy of
peace through strength.
Phone firm moving
headquarters to Ga.
ATLANTA (UPI) — Officials
“If we’re strong militarily,
which we are, and if we
continue that strength, we can
negotiate with the Soviet Union,
China and others to maintain
that peace. Detente is only a
word that was coined. I don’t
think it is applicable anymore.”
In an interview with NBC on
Jan. 3, Ford said: “Politically,
I believe any candidate who
says ‘abandon detent’ will be
the loser in the long run.”
The word “detente” was used
at the start of the Nixon
administration to enunciate his
policy of negotiation rather
than confrontation, and to
describe a further relaxation of
tensions with the Soviet Union.
But in recent weeks, Russia
has made it clear that
“detente” does not mean any
lessening of its own ideological
drive.
of Continental Telephone Corp.,
the third largest independent
phone system in the country,
announced plans Monday to
move their firm’s corporate
headquarters to Atlanta this
summer.
Continental, which has 2.2
million customers in 41 states,
Canada and the Caribbean, is
currently based in Chantilly,
Va., a Washington, D. C.
suburb. Some top Continental
officials also maintain an
operational headquarters in
Bakersfield, Calif.
J. V. Napier, president of the
publicly-owned telephone com
pany, said the firm decided to
move to Atlanta “as a result of
the company’s decision to
consolidate operating and cor
porate functions at one loca
tion.”
Vem Chesbro, vice-president
of the firm, said a “first
contingent” of Continental offic
ers are scheduled to arrive in
Atlanta by August 1 with the
rest of the staff to move here
by the end of the year.
Chesbro said when the
Atlanta headquarters is fully
operational it will employ about
150 persons. A number of those
will be hired locally.
Continental earned revenues
of $637 million in 1974 and has
assests of $2.2 billion. It’s 1975

Candidates meet
Three of the Democratic presidential candidates running in the Florida Primary wait for
the start of their Joint appearance Monday. From left are Pennsylvania Gov. Milton Shapp,
Washington Sen. Henry Jackson, and former Georgia Gov. Jimmy Carter. The appearance
was sponsored by the League of Women Voters. (UPI)
Wallace, Jackson face
first primary tests
United Press International
Gov. George Wallace and
Sen. Henry Jackson faced their
first 1976 presidential primary
test today in a field of eight
major Democratic candidates
scratching for votes, delegates
and campaign momentum in
Massachusetts and Vermont.
President Ford and Ronald
Reagan were in their second
match of the year in Massa
chusetts, but neither cam
paigned and interest focused on
the Democratic ballot. Only
Ford and three major Demo
crats were on the Vermont
ballot, which was a beauty
contest with no delegates at
stake.
But in Massachusetts there
were 104 Democratic delegate
votes on the line. Both Wallace
and Jackson had skipped New
Hampshire to concentrate on
seeking them.
The Alabama governor and
Washington senator hoped to
capitalize on the intense an
tibusing sentiment that has
polarized Boston. Both cam
paigned hard against busing to
achieve integration, and one
opponent accused Jackson of
abandoning a career of civil
rights advocacy for political
gain.
Both men faced plenty of
competition from New Hamp
shire winner Jimmy Carter and
a crowd of claimants for the
liberal wing Democratic vote in
the only state carried by
George McGovern in 1972.
Morris Udall, Birch Bayh and
Sargent Shriver were the main
contenders for liberal support.
Fred Harris of Oklahoma, a
low finisher last week, and
Milton Shapp, who avoided New
Hampshire, sought the same
votes.
The weatherman promised
rain with temperatures in the
40s in Massachusetts, and snow,
rain and 30-degree weather in
Vermont. The Massachusetts
secretary of state expected
about one million of the state’s
2.9 million registered voters,
while Vermont officials pre
pared 200,000 ballots.
While Ford and Reagan were
competing for only 43 GOP
delegates, the Democratic prize
was one of the richest in the
nation. Voters were electing 87
Democratic delegates from
congressional districts, with the
remaining at-large seats to be
filled by state party leaders on
the basis of the district
balloting.
In addition to the fight for
delegates, the candidates were
looking in Massachusetts and
Vermont for momentum. Carter
seized the front-runner’s role
after New Hampshire and the
other Democrats, especially
Bayh and Jackson, spent the
week here trying to slow him
down.
For his part, Carter split his
time between Massachusetts
and Florida where he faces a
showdown with Wallace and
Jackson March 9.
