Sources said Hamilton Jordan, ' Carter’s chief of staff and 1976 campaign director, was concerned a delay in meeting the payroll could give the impression that Carter’s financial sources had dried up because of the candidacy of Sen.' Edward Kennedy. “Officials said the reason for the shortfall was that most of the money raised in the last few weeks had already been spent on preparations for the president’s December fun draising travel schedule,’’ Stahl said.

Bennett, D-Fla., chairman of the House ethics , com mittee, said its investigation of Flood will continue until Flood’s resignation becomes effective next Jan. 31. “I don’t know if we’ll finish it by then,” Bennett said, . “If his health was good we could finish it fairly soon."
