"We are mystified about the!

Ford's 1970 campaign collec-
tions came under fire briefly
when he failed to report collect-
ig $17,500 from stock brokers,'
an oilman, bankers and doc-
tors.
But Ford insisted that because
he turned checks from those
groups over to Republican na-
tional headquarters in Wash-
ington, he was under no legal
obligation to report the contri-
butions. No charges ever were
filed in connection with the'
1970 contributions to Ford.
