Edward Kennedy's campaign staff seems to have chosen a headquarters to match its success in wooing supporters to the cause. Both are sad and sagging. Internal campaign memos indicate that Kennedy forces, who opened their campaign headquarters Thursday in the cramped and aging Hotel Norwich, hoped two months ago to attract many Ohio leaders to their effort. However, many ended up in the Carter camp, including State Rep. Tom Sawyer, D-Akron, whom one memo called "the best political organizer in the state." experienced staff and a shortage of funds.

Most resources have been poured into a New England strategy to revive the Massachusetts senator's flagging crusade. Greg Haas the head of the state campaign whose main political experience came as a driver for former Lt. Gov. Richard Celeste in his unsuccessful bid for governor in 1978 and others are disappointed that Kennedy will not visit Ohio for any fund-raising events. They believe money could be raised in Cleveland, Columbus and Youngstown for possible use in keeping the Kennedy campaign going in New Hampshire, Maine and other states.

Green said the legal argument of the Kennedy backers was so weak that it was not necessary to address the substance of the complaint. The suit sought injunctions against the misuse of funds and asked that the Carter-Mondale Presidential Committee be forced to reimburse the federal government for salaries and expenses paid to federal officials while they were allegedly doing campaign work. In other political developments Thursday: Ronald Reagan charged that Soviet-trained Cubans are being sent to South Yemen in apparent preparation for an assault on the Persian Gulf nation of Oman. Campaigning in Florida, Reagan also asserted that President Carter knows of the plan but is withholding information on it. State Department officials said they believed there are approximately 500 Cubans and 500 to 1,000 Soviet advisers in South Yemen, but said they knew of no evidence that the Cubans were preparing such an assault.

Republican presidential candidate George Bush denied that he had failed to report most of the $106,000 in 1970 campaign funds channeled to him by the Nixon White House. Bush and his campaign manager, James A. Baker III, said all the money was accounted for in Texas filings covering Bush's unsuccessful Senate race. But, they said, the donations were not always credited fully so that contributors could avoid gift taxes.
