Reagan for Challenger

New York, August 25—Political talk about 1976 never fails to record, with considerable professional admiration, the success of Mr. Ford and his lieutenants in corralling the support of prominent Republican conservatives as insurance against a challenge by Ronald Reagan. They have got themselves Dean Burch, and Bo Callaway, and John Tower, and (allegedly, though my information is otherwise) Clif White. They have not yet landed Barry Goldwater. One would hope that Senator Goldwater would resist any premature co-option by Mr. Ford.
