Ford Warned 76 Bid Not Locked Up
A coalition of 28 conservative Republican leaders warned that no candidate holds the 1976 GOP nomination and Ford cannot assume assured support. They met at St. Michaels Md to plan strategy, authorized an inventory of conservative groups, and said conservatives will not be bought. Buckley organized the gathering and suggested open convention talk, with no endorsement of any candidate at this time. Ronald Reagan and Barry Goldwater supported the conclusions.

Food Stamp Gap Affects Up To Twenty Million
A Senate report says as many as 20 million Americans eligible for federal food stamps do not receive them due to Agriculture Department policies. Only 38 percent of eligible individuals participate, down from 52 percent in 1972, while about 17.9 million Americans currently receive stamps. The panel urges simpler forms and wider access through post offices and banks to reduce inefficiency and expand aid amid rising unemployment.
