Weaka in Advance Tentative convention pro grama are laid out weeka in advance under the ausplcca of tlio national commlttcca of the two parties. This planning Includes the selection of con vention officera, who, with rure exceptions, aro routine ly elected by the conventions. The officera include the temporary chairman, perman ent chairman and tho chair man of the platform and ere dentlala commlttcca. The tem porary chairman gives the keynote speech for the Demo crats, but the Republicans arc splitting the two Joba this year. All slates are represented on the platform and creden tials committees, During the week preceding the conven tion proper, the prospective chairmen and some of the members of these two com mittees start to work. Most of the opening session at each convention Is devoted to speeches - by host mayora and governors, tho chairmen of tho national political com mittees and the keynote speakers. A showdown on seating of contested delegates may come at the opening session during adoption of the temporary roll, or at the second session, after the permanent chair man's speech, on adoption of tho permanent roll of dele gates. ' May dialling Stating The scaling of aome south ern delegates to the Demo cratic convention may be challenged under a "loyalty" rule adopted in 1986 and rec ommended to the I960 con vention by the Democratic National Committee. That rule requires each state delegate to give assur ances that the presidential nominee of the convention K the What's scoop on this Methyl? ........ a.x . . 3 . vvjs v ?-; I s vry &li:l"'$&4$y::' ; its - I Yf f TV- v.

Some delegates bulk at giving that commit ment before the platform is adopted and the presidential nominee Is chosen.

After these contests, if any, are settled, adoption of the party platform la the next ma jor Item of buaincsa. The Democrats will have their quadrennial row between their northern and southern contingents over a civil rights plank. To Honor Elsenhower The Republicans will de vote one of their preliminary sessions this year to honoring President Eisenhower and to hearing a speech from him. After the preliminaries, the convention moves into its climatic stage with nomina tion of candidates for presi dent. To avoid boring and los ing their TV audiences, each party will limit the number and time of nominating speeches and the time for demonstrations. By hoary tradition, the nominating speech for each candidate is followed by a noisy demonstration In which his followers parade around the hall, waving placards and singing, and trying to give the impression that practically everybody is for their man. The mention of the candi date's name is the usual sig nal for setting off the bedlam, which makes it necessary for the nominating speaker to re sort to all sorts of evasions ("the man who . . .") to avoid i mentioning the name before ; the end of h!s speech. , Once all of the nominations : have been ma le and sec- j onded, the convention is ready to ballot.

I Early Nixon Choice The Republicans may well nominate Vice President Richard M. Nixon on the first ballot, but the Democrats could be in for several roll calls before any nominee clinches the necessary ma jority. Back in 1924, when it took a two-thirds majority to I nominate a Democratic can didate, a deadlocked conven tion staggered through 103 ballots. Then comes the nomination of a vice presidential candi-date-usually chosen by the presidential nominee or an inner circle around him -and the acceptance speeches from both candidates. The convention is then over and the presidential cam paign is underway.
