BRISTOL Great big, wonderful Chi oagol It's 8 glorified edition of Medford on tlie day of the pear festival, with flags fly ing,, friendly people and the sidewalks Just about that crowded. There are even metal flower baskets on the standards along Michigan boulevard, full of bright red and yellow flowers (artificial). The week before the con vention proper is the time of hard work when the platform Is whacked out. Gone are the moke filled rooms of yore. Now everything is air-condi-' Uoned. ' Heart of the activity lies in the three big hotels down town; . the Conrad Hilton where the convention head quarters are (this is the old Stevens, so big you can sleep every night for nine years and have a different room each night); The Blnckstone, just across the street; and the Congress down Michigan ave nue a couple of blocks. Hearings Held During the pre-convention week, hearings were heard on all planks of the platform, education, finance and admin istration, farm, natural re sources, science and technol ogy, civil rights, (This com mittee had the biggest hear ing room and the most TV cameras) and human rights. Incidentally, Oregon's Shirley Field headed this sub-committee, the only woman to head a committee. Centennial Convention This is the 27th Republican national convention and com memorates the 100th anni versary of the second Repub lican convention, also held in Chicago, at which Abraham Lincoln and Hannibal Hamlin were nominated: There will be 2,662 dele gates and alternates who will cast 1,331 votes. Each delegate gets one vote here, as opposed to the one-half vote each Democratic delegate had. It will take 666 votes to win a nomination. Oregon has 18 votes, 10 from the state at large and 2 from each Congressional dis trict. Our fourth Congression al district, composed of Lane, Linn, Coos, Curry, Douglas, Josephine counties, have Paul Gcddcs, Roscburg attorney, as delegate with Josephine coun ty's Fay Bristol as his alter nate; Eugene attorney Joe Richards, delegate, with Jack son's county Dr. Erwin Durno as alternate.

(OPI Telephoto) Vice-President's Daughters Catapulted Into Limelight By HELEN THOMAS ; United Press International Chicago - (UPD - Vice Presi dent and Mrs. Richard M. Nixon are looking forward to an airport reunion today with their two ' daughters from whom they have been apart for a month. : The girls, Patricia, 14, and Julie, 12, seem excited and bewildered to be suddenly catapulted into the limelight, They have lived sheltered lives and dislike the glare of publicity. But they are learning to adapt fast-with some coach ing. The two Nixon daughters arrived in Chicago Sunday from California with their 75' year old grandmother Mrs i; -. J l ;"7 MH f Sea LaPointe's Collection of Cool Summer Maternity Separate Richard M. Nixon. The first to greet them was Herbert L. Klein, the vice president's press secretary, who immediately began to brief them in low earnest tones. Klein told them what to ex pect-that they were going to be on TV and their parents would be watching. He also forewarned them that they would be surrounded by cam eramen and reporters. They were. The girls were chaperoned overnight by Mrs. Nixon s see reary, Miss Gessie Newton. Their room adjoins their par ents' luxury suite on the sec ond floor of the Sheraton- Blackstone hotel They had spent a month in California, vacationing at a summer camp and staying at their grandmother s home in Whittier.. Tricia is a pretty, fair- skinned blonde who wears her hair around her face and rather long. Her clothes are simple and definitely not those of a sophisticated teen ager. Her only makeup is a touch of pink lipstick. Like her sister, Julie is small for her age. She has light brown curly hair, pink cheeks and a single brace to straighten out her upper teeth. Both girls go in for flat ballet slippers. This is then first convention and their first big adventure in the political spotlight. 1 Former War Buddies Meet in Hornbrook Hornbrook-A recent visitor at the home of Mr, and Mrs. Rob Cummins was Howard Clendennin, R 1 p o n, Calif., where he is an almond or chardist. The two men had seen each other only once since they were army "bud dies in Europe during world War I. 4 Girl Scouts Attend Camp at Low Echo Hornbrook -Girl Scouts from here who attended the recent camp at Low Echo were Barbara Burooll, Joan Kutzkey, Marsha Farnsworth, Jennifer Cummins, and Linda Clark.

A yearling black bear, which wandered into the path of one of the riders, provided unscheduled enter tainment and excitment for some of the group. Walter Kurz roped the animal, but the bear freed its- self and disappeared. Harold Woods made motion pictures of the ride their two youngsters flew by Jet last Wednesday. Seven of the big states hold one-third of the vote, New York, California, Pennsy vania, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois and Tcxhs, and those delega tions are much sought. Who For V.P.T Biggest topic of conjecture is "Who will be Vice Presi dent?" Herb Klein, Nixon press secretary, listed these men at a press conference last Thursday, said he believed the new VP would come from this list: Sen. Thruston Mor ton of Kentucky, who chairman of the National Re publican committee; United Nation's Henry Cabot Lodge: Rockefeller; Secretary of In terior Fred Seaton; Secretary Anderson; Jerry Ford, con gressman of Michigan; Sen, Hugh Scott, who spoke in Medford recently, and Tom Dewey.

By GAY PAULEY United Press International Paris (UPD - Get set, girls for towering hats and sleek, short hairdos for the months ahead. Paris designers so decreed in a show which kicked off a week-long fashion extrava ganza which the Chambre Syndicate de la Couture Pa nsienne stages' twice a year. Today, members of the Chambre got down to the business of silhouette, hem line, waistline, and fabric of clothes in general, with Jacques Griffe the lead-off designer. Promote French Styles By the end of the week, 38 members of the Chambre, organized to promote French styles, will have shown their fall and winter collections to reporters and buyers. But Sunday night, hats and hairdos took precedence over all other facets of fashion For the first time, 21 design ers - some creators of the whole wardrobe - cooperated in a hat and hair style show at one of the Eiffel Tower's two restaurants. The tower was a most ap propriate setting, for the hats were tall peaked cones, stove pipes, puffy turbans right out of Arabian night, domes and spirals, some an easy 12 inches high. Paris' Top Hat "Why the Eiffel Tower for our show?" said the commen tator. "Because it is the top hat of Paris . . . has been for 70 years ... it is fitting place to mark the wedding between millinery and the hairdress ers. x Before the hats' went on, the models paraded the coif fures from Paris' leading hairdresser. Most cuts were short, just barely touching the nape of the neck. Sever al came with bangs. A few hinted at the upsweep of World War II years. But al most all were without curl, and only the suggestion of waves. "Weil, there goes a dent in my business," moaned Sam uel Frishberg, a New York manufacturer of hair ing equipment. 1 Guest Players Listed by Club Mr. and Mrs. G.

When questioned by reporters, Klein said Rockefeller fitted Uiis requisite but that they were taking him at his word that ho would not be a vice presidential candidate. "How ever, the door is not closed," he concluded. Convention Sidelights Six GOP mayors appearing before the human rights com mittee were from Loa An geles, Seattle, Syracuse, New York, Fort Worth, Tex., Nor folk, Va., and Knoxvillc, Tenn.

On the skirts are cutouts, "Political Pollys for Rocky." Luncheon menus at the Blackstone offer GOP Special Reporter's Scoop, TV Com mentator; Convention Salad, or Delegate's Delight, which is just a fancy corned beef sandwich (for $2.00).
