(UPI) Chicago Said Best Place To Hold 1964 Political Parleys 4 .5 Chicago -il'PIt- Chicago is the traditiunal and inherently full j kind of mystery factor at this best place to hold both the Re-1 of politics, not to mention stage. publican and Democratic 1964 political conventions and it's not too early to start attract ing thejn, a man who has been trying to do just that said today. "We think we can swing both of them," said Harry C. Kipke, former University of Michigan football coach and president of the Chicago Con vention Bureau. "But we" can't be too opti mistic at this point," Kipke added, sounding a little like a coach before a game. Attracting one national po litical convention involves months of negotiations and perhaps more than a little behind-the-scenes maneuvering. To attract two you double the effort. Machinery Intricate , The machinery for getting a convention is intricate and Chicago attracted both con Gerald , ventions in 1952 but only one executive director j each in 1956 and 1960. "We lost the Democrats in 1960 to Los Angeles," Sander son said, "because of the cor rect political climate." Chicago, Sanderson said, has had more political conven tions than all the other cities put together. Citizens here abouts feel they are worth going after, despite the fact that other, non-political con ventions bring in more visi tors. Expenditure Not Estimated "It's a prestige thing," Kip ke said. "Nobody would be able to set a value on the publicity Chicago derives by having news stories go out all over the world under a Chi cago dateline." Neither Kipke nor Sander son estimated how m u c h economics. Kipke's associate, Sanderson, of the convention bureau, ex plained how it works. Both parties, he said, name site committees "and these will be chosen pretty soon." These committees, operating independently, shop around for the best convention city and reach a decision, "which we expect in mid-April." Both committees, Sander son said, use a six-point selec tion chart. The points include hotel space, the meeting site, transportation, press accom modation, financial structure and "correct political cli mate." "This last item might amount to 9B per cent of the reason for selecting a certain city," Sanderson said. "It's a money would be needed to win either or both conven tions. Chicago put out $400. 000 in I960 to get the Repub licans. The money went for such things as decorations, printing and staffing of the convention headquarters. "Chicago will put up what ever is needed," Kipke said, "and we feel sure we can com- , CLEARED OF CHARGE Baker -iUPI- Lovern Elmer I Jackson, 32, former operations pete against any other city."

DISMAL HISTORY OF DEFICITS AND DEBT The odds that the federal government will end up the current year with a budget deficit of "only" 7.8 billion are minimal. The mid-year budget estimates (synonym, guesses) almost always have been wrong by millions of dollars both on in come and outgo. There is scant basis for believing the Budget Bureau's guess on Nov. 13, 1962, will be the exception and turn out on July 1, 1963, to have been on the nose. Rather, the probabilities are: (1) The budget deficit for this fiscal year 1963 will be - considerably larger than $7.8 billion - even without counting in a multi-billion dollar boost in defense spending already in the works and without considering losses to the Treasury from lax reductions. (2) The budget deficit in this fiscal year and or the next well may be higher than the record peacetime deficit of S12.4 billion chalked up by President Eisenhower in 1959. Without stretching themselves, informed observers can reach a figure of S15 billion or more. (3) The budget is on its way, to an all-time peak for war or peace. So is the national debt. So is interest on the nation al debt. So is the legal ceiling on the national debt. Against this background President Kennedy will have to fight hard to get Congress to approve the lax slashes he and an extraordinary broad cross-section of experts believe are essential if our economy is to swing back into a strong, solid upturn. This he is prepared to do, though, and if he wins and the upturn develops, then and only then will the dismal history of deficits, debts and interest burdens of this entire generation be reversed. In case you've forgotten, here's that record. In millions ' of dollars.
