The reports are the first in a series of monthly disclosures required under the new federal election law. Not all the Democratic candidates’ reports bad yet been received by the FEC. Meanwhile, there were these political developments Wednesday: —Sen. Henry M. Jackson led other Democratic candidates in Alaska precinct caucuses, although most party members remained un committed. With less than 25 per cent of the results in, Jackson had 35 per cent of the delegates, former Georgia Gov. Jimmy Carter had 10 per cent and 55 per cent were listed as uncommit ted. —Reagan continued his campaign in New Hampshire, where his strategists said they were encour aged alter Ford’s campaign swing through the state last weekend. “Ford did not help himself by com ing up here,” said Hugh Gregg, Reagan’s state chairman. Gregg said he Hrs revised his prediction that Reagan will get 40 per cent of the vote to “something higher than that. ’ Gregg said Ford “may have even hurt himself by the visit, citing a Ford aide’s comment that campaign ing is hard in the state because 40 miles outside a city “there’s nothing hut trees and hears. John Michels, Ford’s state chair man, said Gregg “is nuts” if he be lieves that. “The visit was a plus. It’s helped us and it’s given us a lot of support,” Michels said. —Jackson called for a tougher American foreign policy and said in Springfield, Mass., he will “maintain a voice in the U. N. like that we have had in Daniel Patrick Moynihan.” The Democratic candidate, launching a three-day swing through Massachusetts, said the United States needed “sensible strength” to hack up its diplomatic efforts. He criticized the Ford administration’s efforts at detente, terming the policy a “great coverup” that works to the Soviet Union’s advantage. —Unsuccessful 1972 Democratic presidential candidate Sen. George McGovern said in Salt Lake City his supporters have the power to with hold the Democratic nomination from anyone he considers unaccept able. “No one will win the nomination without the support of the McGovern people,” the South Dakota Democrat said. He said his supporters do not have the power to pick the nominee, “hut can prevent anyone we consider unacceptable from gaining the nomination. ” Today is Thursday, Feh. 12, the 43rd day of 1976.
