UPI 03-30 09:56 AES R. DÉPALD FORD LIBRARY Presidency: News N-1 NEWS Calloway to be Ford's Campaign Manager President Ford announced Wednesday he has chosen Georgia Republican Howard "Bo" Calloway, now Secretary of the Army, to manage his 1976 Presidential campaign. NBC/CBS said west coast industrialist, David Packard is expected to be named finance chairman and former Michigan Rep. Charles Chamberlain has been picked as the campaign treasurer. Through Ron Nessen, Ford also disclosed he will file by Friday documents with the Federal Election Commission formally establishing his own campaign committee. Following tradition, there is no mention of the vice presidential candidate, ABC reported. Nessen said the filing will list former GOP national chairman Dean Burch as campaign committee chairman, but he said Burch will hold the post for only two or three weeks until Calloway severs his connections with the Army. Calloway said later in a statement, "When I take on the job in a few weeks I will be totally committed to running an open, candid and straightforward campaign." In response to questions about when he would become manager, Calloway (on CBS film) said, " probably two or two and a half weeks and as Secretary of the Army it is very inappropriate for me to comment on anything political about the campaign. " Howard K. Smith (ABC) said Ford's announcement meant he "almost has made" an announcement of his candidacy. "The White House rushed the announcement in an apparent bid to steal some of the thunder from George Wallace, who's in Washington making political headlines," Tom Jarriel (ABC) said. "The announcement and the legal filing make Gerald Ford a candidate under the law, although his public commitment before TV cameras won't be made for several weeks" Jarriel said. "The political advantages of meetings (with high school groups, etc.) are obvious. The problem will come when his campaign committee has to pay the expenses after someone, somehow, decides which of the President's events are political and which are strictly presidential." Presidency: News N-2 Phil Jones (CBS) said this will not be Calloway's first Presidential camapign assignment. In 1968 he was Nixon's southern campaign manager. Calloway was also one of the key men in Nixon's successful '68 convention battle against Ronald Reagan, a battle that may have to be fought again in '76 on behalf of President Ford, Jones said. ABC said Calloway had been a southern strategist for Nixon. Calloway, who NBC called a "tough Georgia conservative," will give Ford added strength in the South, where George Wallace and Reagan are popular. ABC noted that Ford spent most of his time with Calloway during his trip last weekend to Georgia. Ford has said he does not intend to make many of the mistakes made by Nixon's people in 1972, SO his campaign will be run outside of the White House, NBC said. That would seem to give Calloway free rein with the campaign, but he will have to report to Ford aid (Donald) Rumsfeld. John Cochran (NBC) said Calloway's selection was a surprise, although he and Ford have known each other for years. "Unlike some others considered for the campaign job, Calloway was available because he's independently wealthy and he can afford to take it," Cochran said. "White House aides say Mr. Ford also likes Calloway's style, that he's an enthusiastic salesman with good political instincts. "--AP; UPI; Networks (6/18/75) Harris Poll Shows Ford Leading as Presidential Contender The Harris Poll Wednesday reported that President Ford is now leading the race for President, not only against any Democratic nominee, but also in a three-way race, including Ronald Reagan or George Wallace. According to the poll, only Sen. Edward Kennedy holds his own against the President in a three-way matchup. Kennedy leads Ford by 43 to 31 per cent with Reagan in the race, and ties Ford 37 to 37 per cent with Wallace running. --- UPI; NBC (6/18/75) FORD LIGRARY CALLAWAY) WASHINGTON ( UP D -- PRESIDENT FORD' S SUSPENDED CAMPAIGN MANAGER, GERALD HOWARD CALLAWAY, CALLED AT THE WHITE HOUSE TODAY, BUT SAID HE HAD NOT SUBMITTED HIS RESIGNATION.
