Campaign to take the new municipal auditorium ''out of politics" is expected to meet with success or sustain a crush ing setback at a conference between adherents of the project and city com. missioners in the Chamber of Commerce at 10 o'clock Saturday morning.
 Sentiment of the commissioners, as reported to a group of promoters of the plan, who met Friday afternoon, favors the general idea. It has not been de- termined, however, just how the audi. torium board of governors will be se- lected, and it is likely that this will occupy an important position in the discussion Saturday.
 The drive to establish control of the auditorium outside of the city hall was summed up at Fridays meeting by Rev. Roy G. Hershey, one of the originators of the campaign, and who was elected chairman.
 '"The auditorium may either become an asset or liability to the city, Rev. Hershey said. With the proper management it will make Birmingham 6 convention and entertainment center, but without the proper business acumen it will become burden upon the tax. payer"
 Business Men Interviewed
 Rev. Hershey stated that he had early interviewed Sam Blach, Carson Adams and other business leaders re. garding his plan and they voiced their approval and insured active support Mir. Adams, he said, suggested board of five governors to supervise activities in the building, and Mir. Blach advised the directors be appointed from some outstanding civic organization, such as the Chamber of Commerce.
 Another plan, with feasible aspects, Rev. Herhey stated, was to have the

The matter of selection of the board of directors brought out some discussion, but this point was held open for the conference with commis- sioners. A suggestion which gain most favor was for the appointment of one man as representative of various pur- suits in Birmingham with one of the commissioners, probably W. l..
