...when his tanks ran out of gas." For fear of antagonizing conservatives whose enthusiasm Ford will need in November, the President's aides have not directly assailed Reagan as a spoiler. Instead, they have encouraged Ford loyalists to speak out. Rogers Morton, who was tapped to succeed Bo Callaway as campaign manager (see story page 19), has asked Texas Senator John Tower, House Minority Leader John Rhodes and Republican Whip Robert Michel to "open a dialogue" with such Reagan partisans as North Carolina Senator Jesse Helms and Illinois Republican Congressman Philip Crane. Nine Republican Governors advised Reagan to quit...
When not politicking or tending to his Georgia-based family businesses, Howard ("Bo") Callaway is happiest schussing down the slopes of his Crested Butte ski resort in Colorado. Last week, his excursion from deep powder to deep trouble as President Ford's campaign manager was complete.

The original ruling had barred Crested Butte's promoters from leasing 2,000 acres of federal land on which to build new ski runs, which would have tripled the size...
...That since 1969, the CAB has enabled Callaway to establish fairly reg ular flight service from Atlanta to Crested Butte by waiving restrictions governing charter flights, including an "affinity" requirement that charter passengers belong to an organized group. Crested Butte's original request for such waivers has been re-approved annually and routinely by the CAB. The board is now investigating its own alleged favoritism...
