The Wallace Campaign Headquarters is located in
the 10 High Building in Montgomery, Ala. In addition
to the Montgomery office, temporary headquarters nor-
mally are set up in each state where efforts are made to
qualify Wallacds American Independent Party for a
November ballot position. After the party obtains a ballot
po.sition, a Wallace spokesman told CQ, the state head-
quarters usua.lly is closed down in order to minimize cam-
paign expenses.
Nearly all major figures in Wallace's campaign are
residents of Alabama. Many of them are either current
or former state officials. Unlike the major-party Presi-
dential candidates, the former Alabama Governor has not
recruited panels of advisers from the academic and profes-
sional communities to suggest ways of dealing with
foreign and domestic problems.

former press secretary to George C. Wallace during his
term as Alabama's Governor (D 1963-67), serves as a na-
tional campaign coordinator. Jones normally travels with

uling and day-to-day arrangements.

who supervises the effort to qualify the American Inde-
pendent Party on as many state ballots as possible, Ewing
formerly was press secretary to Gov. Lurleen B. Wallace

executive secretary to Mrs. Wallace and Trammell was
state finance director during both Wallace administra-
tions 0962-68). (For Trammell, see Weekly Report'p.

several states and are called state coordinators:

ing director under Mrs. Wallace.
Joe Fine, an executive assistant to the state insur.
ance commissioner under Mrs. Wallace, resigned as dis-
trict attorney for Franklin County to devote full time to the

paigning in Western states for the Wallace effort.

Attorney General MacDonald Gallion (D).
