onvention Excitment Reported
By MRS. FAY I. 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

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

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.

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

seen each other only once
since they were army "bud
dies in Europe during world
War I.

club will hold a potluck picnic
luncheon Thursday, July 28,
at Hawthorne park by the
pool. The group Is to assemble

Overnight Trip
Made by Riders
nieaiora Trail Riders rec
ently made an overnight ride
to Whiskey Springs Forest
camp.
Taking the trip were Mr,
and Mrs. Sam Kiem, Eagle
Point; Mr. and Mrs. Joe Lem-
men, Sacramento, Calif.; C.
Tingleaf, Brownsboro; Mr.
and Mrs. Ray Barnard, Den
nis, Diane and Debbie Bar

and Mrs. Glen Porter, Mr.
and Mrs. Walker Kurz, Miss
Barbara Kurz, Walter Lee
and Kathy Kurz, Medford.
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. Others, of course,
wonder about Arizona's Barry
uoidwater.

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.

Convention Sidelights
Six GOP mayors appearing
before the human rights com

Tenn.
We met Pcrle Mcsta and
her sister, Mrs. Marguerite
Tyson of Reno, both officers
in the national women's par
ty. Mrs. Mesta, although an
adent Democrat, is here sup-
porting a constitutional
amendment to give women
equal rights. The Democratic
convention had turned
down due largely to Walter
Heutner s opposition.

Nixon Sure
Everyone expects Nixon'
nomination on the first ballot
although there are two big

for Rockefeller and "Barry

Luncheon menus at the

or Delegate's Delight, which
is just a fancy corned beef
sandwich (for $2.00).
We had lunch with the ear
ly-arrived Oregonians, here to
work on platform committees,
Fay Bristol; Shirley Field,
Wendall Wyatt of Astoria,
huddled all during lunch with
Wally Hunter, press represen
tative from Salem, on ideas
from Oregon. Wally arrived
Tuesday with Pete Gunnar,
chairman of the Oregon GOP
party.
These platform hearings are
our great republic in action
as this is the time "the com
mon man" can put forth his
ideas . . . and they are here,
from every part of the nation,
from every color, creed and
race to aid in building the
plauorm ol the UUP.
Proud of Haliitld
Oregon can be proud of her
Governor Mark Hatfield, who
has been chosen to nominate
Nixon. Governor and Mrs.
Hatfield arrived Sunday by
jet out of Portland.

They had nothing on us; we
also took a helicopter from
O'Hare to Midway. Quite a
