JEFF CARTER, son of front running Jimmy Carter, conducts an informal Carter will be in Cincinnati Thursday fornia primary on June 8, a home state election in which victory Is a must for the former governoer. But Mr. Ford was putting a dent in that game plan, by winning Ken-; tucky and inching barely ahead In the tight Tennessee count. Mr. Ford gained 51 of the Republican vote In Kentucky, with the count virtually complete.

That meant 19 nominating votes for Mr. Ford, 18 for Reagan. Mr. Ford, campaigning in Walnut Creek, for the primary in Reagan's home state next month, rejoiced in what he said was great news from both Kentucky and Tennessee. HE SAID he had indications "that we'll do just about as well in Tennessee" as in Kentucky." "So if I'm smiling, I apologize, but I just can't help but believe those are darn good victories," the President told a campaign rally.

Mr. Ford's strategists had said they were confident only in Oregon, and the President said he hoped he'd at least break even when the 176 Republican delegates were apportioned from the day's primary balloting. There were 179 Democratic delegates at stake in the six states. While the delegate crop was relatively small, there was psychological advantage to be had as the returns flowed westward from Kentucky and Tennessee to Arkansas, Nevada, Idaho and Oregon.

Mr. Ford entered the day's competition with 701 delegates on his republican list, while Reagan had 544. For all the day's balloting, Missouri had more Democratic nominating delegates to offer Tuesday than any of the six primary states. District conventions there were to select 54 delegates. Carter, backed by Sen.

Thomas F. Eagletom and other party leaders, was expected to win about 40 of them. And finally, there was a leftover contest in Alabama, with eight delegate slots to be settled in runoff voting, in districts where no entry gained a majority in the May 4 vention.
