He estimated he'll have about
2,000 less guest tickets to parcel
out than four years ago, when
there were seats for 5,500 on
lookers. Roach has arranged for a 30-000-square

convention headquarters, and

Chicago (U.R) Neale Roach,
Democratic national convention
manager, is playing a jig-saw
puzzle with 11,200 hotel rooms,
4,640 convention delegates, 2,500
newsmen, too many VIP's and
not enough guest tickets.
He has the job. of making
everyone happy at the president
ial nominating assemblage which
opens here Aug. 13. .
"It isn't easy," he said. "And
it's going to get worse before it
gets better."
Across Roach's desk pass plans
for housing delegates and party
bigwigs, seating delegates and
important guests, setting up
press and radio-TV workrooms,
providing ample telephone ser
vice, arranging for committee
meeting rooms.
He's spending $250,000, dug
up by the city of Chicago, to
stage the colorful political show,
and said the Democrats "may
have to dig up some funds of our
own" to pick up all the tabs.
More Delegates
Roach's biggest problem cur
rently is housing the state dele
gations 2,744 delegates and
1,896 alternates. His eontacts in
the various states are getting the
names of the delegates, collect
ing their deposits and sending
them in as the delegates are
chosen.
. But the task of alloting them
hotel, accommodations out of
Roach's 11,200-room pool can't
be completed until mid-July after
the last delegations are chosen.
In addition, the convention
triet to take care of the dele
gates' families and an estimated
2,500 other persons with busi
ness at the convention.
"I recall one woman delegate
who should have got family
rate," Roach said. "She always
brought her family of six along
and reserved two rooms."
The seating arrangement at
sprawling International Amphi
theater is a perennially knotty
problem made knottier this year
by a sharp boost in the number
of delegates. At the 1952 con
vention there were 1,576 dele
gates and a like number of al
ternates a total of 3,152. This
year there's a total of 4,640.
Press Arrangements
"We won't be able to seat
them all on the main floor,"
Roach said. "That means we'll
probably have to put the alter-
editors from daily newspapers
and wire services, and the Radio
Television Gallery of the Senate
performs the same chore for
radio-TV. Roach's office also
has to accommodate representa
tives of periodicals.
"We're arranging for approxi
mately 900 seats for the wire
services and daily telegraphic
press adjacent to the speaker's
platform and for about 300
radio seats," he said. "We ex
pect to get about 4,000 press and
1,500 radio requests."

Auto of Tomorrow
To Be Low in Price
And Operation Cost
By ROBERT G. SHORTAL
United Press Financial Writer
New York (U.P.) Buy it,
drive it and junk it in three
years that's the car of tomor
row. Frank R. Nichols, president of
Nichols Wire & Aluminum Co.,
believes a low-cost, "disposable"
car will dominate the American
auto market within the next
decade.
This revolutionary car will
cost around 51000 and will be
practically maintenance free
during the relatively short per
iod it takes to complete instal
ment payments, he predicts.
High Scrap Value
"Even when it has been com
pletely worn out," Nichols as
serts, "the . car will have a high
scrap value, thanks to the val-

uable light metals in it."
Nichols says his "car of the
future" will be a product of
European engineering concepts
and America's growing supply
of aluminum, magnesium and,
ultimately, titanium.
The Davenport, la., business
man says the new car will not
only cost less to buy and op
erate but will weigh only half
as much as present cars. -
"Perhaps only the bumpers
will remind you of today's cars,"
Nichols said. "Springs will be
replaced by air or coil cushions,
the engine will probably be air
cooled and the car will be so low
and well-engined it'll take a cor
ner at 70 miles an hour."
Nichols says lighter, more effi
cient engines will give the new
car "the acceleration of an air
plane and the economy of a
motorcycle."
Strictly Economic
What's behind this revolution?
Well, Nichols says it's strictly
economic. -
"Present expensive' and obsolete-when-new
automobiles keep
their purchasers out of the auto
market for too long a time, be
cause of the cost of operating
them and the length of instal
ment payments necessary to pay
for them."
The auto industry's profits de
pend on selling cars, he adds. To
regain its maximum market, hie
notes, the industry 'in' the next
decade will ..do "the same fresh
creative thinking that the Euro
pean makers were forced to do
long ago."
