ALL ALONG the parade route there had been a noticeable show of small American flags waved at the President. A tired- looking Boy Scout distributing them claimed the balloons and flags were imported from Wash- ington as part of Ford's cam- paign kick-off, a lie which dis- qualified the khaki-uniformed lad from ever receiving an hon- esty badge. The balloons had been con- tributed by the community, and the little flags were largely the idea of one man, Les Bieder- man, who spent $1,500 on 5,000 flags because "it was proper to salute the President with the flag, and there are too many flags burned and sewn on the seats of pants:' The local radio station had picked up Biederman's plan and community contributions for more flags were given gener- ously. An estimated total of 21,000 were waved along the one and a quarter mile route. The advance staff was not re- sponsible for, the flags and bal- loons, although they did help coordinate the release of the balloons. They were delighted with community enthusiasm and vigorously denied that the pa- rade was the start of the Presi- dent's re-election campaign. Had it been a campaign trip, claimed staff members, the advance would have been quite different. "If this were a political trip, we would have pulled out all the stops to raise a crowd," said Eric Rosenberger, a member of the White House advance staff. "We would have made phone calls, done a big handbill effort, plastered the place with posters, made public service announce- ments, paid for T.V. spots - everything." THE OFFICE had originally been concerned that Traverse City could not produce a crowd large enough to give the Presi- dent an appropriate welcome, but their doubts were soon erased., "We didn't do anything to raise a crowd," insisted Rosen- berger. "We were very happy with the crowd here. Although the locals claimed it was 500,000 it was closer to half that. But we were still very pleased with 250,000. We had some concern that there be a good group, and there was a good group, and they were enthusiastic." The enthusiastic crowd was left to view the rest of the long parade while Ford slipped off to the private reception at Grif- fin's house, then flew to Chicago. A second advance staff in Chicago arranged for the Presi- dent's lodging and meals,, coor- dinated his transportation to the University andrback,horganized protection during the Presi- dent's address, arranged for the transportation and lodging of the press pool, and made final ar- rangements for the President's return to Michigan. THE PRESIDENT returned to Traverse City to play in a lo- cal golf tournament on an over- cast Saturdayafternoon. "Secret Service came two weeks in advance for a visit," said David Wynkoop, President of the Traverse City Golf and Country Club, and one of the President's golfing partners. "They inspected the whole course, all the greens and all the outlying areas." Local golf- ers had complained with some amusement that their concen- tration had been broken on the course by Secret Service agents inspecting the grounds. All those golfing in the tour- nament were cleared by secur- ity. The Presidential party, in- cluding protective agents, used 19 golf carts. Almost 100 law en- forcement officers were sta- tioned on the course and along the fairways. The President finished . his game and posed for pictures with Gordis Howe and his ..wife. A Secret Service agent walked along the crowd-control rope rimming the ninth green. "Keep back, folks," he cautioned. "The President will walk right along here and 'shake hands in a few minutes." In a few minutes, Ford shook an outstretched hand behind Mrs. Howe, then another, and began to fulfill the agent's for the prophecy, working his way around the semi-circle toward the podium, where he congratu- lated the golf tournament win- ners and earned cheers by call- ing Michigan "God's country." A FTER A sports award ban- quet, the President chop- pered to Interlochen to meet his wife for a concert. Mrs. Ford had already been on a walking tour of the Interlochen dance fa- cilities. The excursion to Interlochen was also thoroughly advanced. "They looked over the property and decided on the best itiner- ary," said Roger Jacoby, Direc- tor of the Interlochen Arts Acad- emy '"They approveddMrs. Ford's walking route, and her escort, and scheduled her tour-. the meeting with some dance students and the dance presen- tation given. They decided on placement of ropes for crowd control, on a press room for the press, and they arranged for extra phones for the press. They inspected the building complete- ly and chose a landing place for the three helicopters." The selection of the musical program was left to the band conductor and Jacoby. The pro- gram included the Michigan Fight Song, Copland's "Lincoln Portrait," and "The Battle Hymn of the Republic." "We thought if the President was here, we ought to do something on the patriotic side," said Ja- coby. " 'The Victors' was ob- vious." After the final musical selec- tion had been played during the concert, Senator Griffin leaned over to the President and asked him if he would like to go on stage. The President agreed and, accompanied by his wife, went onstage to make a brief, stumbling speech of gratitude. "Go i n g on stage wasn't planned," said Jacoby, laugh- ing. "And it made a few people scurry a little bit. If nothing else, the President needs pro- tection getting up and down the aisle," "THE WHOLE staff with the President is there to pre- pare the way and protect the man," said Interlochen Director t I i i I J 1 J s i t t 1 N i f I c I } t 1 C f K C f A r green the gun at the start. Dial times are also used to handicap the finals. If one car "dialed in" a second slower than another, then the second would get a one seco Id head start on the first. The staggered start is aimed at keeping things tight at the finish line. The driver that can turn a good dial time and stay just shy of it in the eliminations and fi- nals has a good chance of win- ning 20 or 30 dollars in prize money for taking it all, or at least a trophy for winning a class. All in all, the prizes seem a rather dismal counterpoint to all the time and money the Sun- day driver draggers put into their cars. 1UT WHEN you see the racers cruising back down the ac- cess road that parallels the strip after the last heat, with the driver's door boldly held open as far as it will go, (so they can pick up their time slips and cool off the car without rolling down the decal-laced windows - it again becomes clear that petty cash and cheap trophies are the farthest things- from their minds. Their machines are their gold. Their reputations are their mon- uments. Give they a clear track and the word go, and even dirty old Detroit Dragway will suit them just fine. Pres "The hardest thing is thinking the trip out, thinking of a ll the crazy, bizarre things that can go wrong, and trying to provide for all of those in a manner which puts the Presi- dent in an atmosphere he is comfortable in- informal a n d relaxed - without inconveni- encoig ,the host." Eric Rosenberger, White House Advance Staff Jacoby. "They did their job well and were very polite. ABC News claimed the advance staff had been pushy, but we found no evidence of that at all." "There are a thousand things to think of when you're advanc- ing a trip," said advance staffer Rosenberger. "We do the Air Force advance for the planes." THE ADVANCE staff, in the estimation of Traverse City area contacts, are professional experts. But, it is easy to fail, to make obvious mistakes thattreveal lack of foresight, lack of plan- ning, forgetfulness, oversight or addle-brained thinking. It is more difficult to succeed, to have events progress smoothly and on schedule, almost spon- taneously. Success for the advance staff is when a Presidential excursion outside of Washington seems ef- fortless, requiring little more advance effort than the packing of a Presidential toothbrush and clean underwear. The plans for a Presidential trip are in purest form when they are not at all visible to the public as obvious orchestrations, but are clear in detail and purpose to those who must implement them.
