western end of the waiting room SO
that railway patrons can have access
to the ticket windows and baggage
rooms.
Stores to Be Closed.
The two drug stores and a fruit
stand will be closed for the occasion
and over them will be hung huge,
rich-toned portieres. The concession
naires. incidentally. will have to be
Unidentified for their losses.
How do you prepare and serve food
for 5000 particular, artistic, scientific
or diplomatic persons at one time?
Committee officials started to find
the answer by enlisting three digni-
taries of the Waldorf Astoria to direct
operations. There Is L. M. Boomer,
president and general manager of the
hotel; Augustus A. Mule, its maitre de
hotel. and Theophile, the chef.
All the food will be prepared and
served from the two kitchens of Union
Station. At the same time public
service will be provided in the lunch
room. The dining room will be con-
verted into a service pantry for the
5000 banquet places.
Three hundred walters will be en-
gagged to make the many trips to 800
circular tables to be erected in the hall,
each one to seat 10 persons.
At the east end of the waiting room
there will be built a serving table rs
feet long. Half of the 300 walters will
file by this table to serve the eastern
half Of the hall. There will be SINH
lar arrangement for $50 walters, who
will make their professions to tables
in the western end.
Tables to Be Shipped Here.
The tables will be shipped here from
New York by freight. Three thousand
chairs will be provided, according to
tentative arrangements, through the

When no less than 5000 selected
olives and 4,500 stalks Of choice celery
must be placed at the right moment
before 5000 dignitaries representing
54 nations seated at a banquet in one
huge hall, some rather staggering
preliminary plans must be perfected.
Just that feat, and more, will be
undertaken when the banquet session
of the Third World Power Conference
is held in the huge waiting room of
Union Station here September 10.
Washington's railway depot, selected
for the banquet because the National
Capital affords no other place that
would hold 5000 emmissaries, will
undergo an amazing transformation
for the event.
fnd all will be accomplished, off,
cials explain, without interrupting
public service at the depot or depriv-
ing passengers Of their own rights
even during the banqueting.
DR.. Mcclellan Directs.
Planning for the event has been
going on for many weeks under the
direction of DR.. William Mcclellan,
president Of the Potomac Electric
Power Co., who heads the Dinner
Committee.
Not only must the olives and celery
be carried to the tables with proper
f1nesse. but there are the more diff
cult tasks Of getting the entrees there
properly warmed, the delicate business
Of serving wines to foreign personages,
and the delivery Of ice cream before
1t melts away.
First of all the So immense benches
in the waiting room will be moved
into the great concourse. The radi-
ators will be removed and their con-
Meeting pipes carefully capped. A
paneled barricade 10 feet high, de-
signed In a simple and dignifled style
to suit the character of the great
hall, will be erected to inclose an area
260 feet long and 100 feet wide.

is expected to be obtained through the
Welfare Association.
Another problem is the all-important
matter Of precedence to be observed
In planning for the reception and
seating of representatives Of 81 foreign
governments. To ease the approach,
the committee will build q place for
hats and coats in an arcade outside
the main building of the south en-
trance, so that arriving guests can de-
posit wraps and move promptly into
the hall.
II President Roosevelt attends, as
Is hoped, he will arrive at the special
east entrance, pass through the con-
course and to the speakers table
against the north wall of the waiting
room. Before that table will be long
one for special guests.
Another Problem.
Experts OF the Bell Laboratories Of
the American Telephone & Telegraph
Co. are at work to perfect acoustics
and there will be special indirect
lighting to bring out the beauties Of
the architecture Of the hall. which was
designed in a style resembling the
ancient baths of Diocletian.
It is proposed to place the emblems
Of the 81 foreign nations under the
48 statutes of ancient knights in
armor which stand high in the walls.
The guests themselves will add color
to the event for foreign delegates will
be accompanied by their diplomatic
representatives in full regalia.
Congress appropriated $4,000 for
the conference. The Edison Electrical
Institute Is providing an equal sum,
and the National Electric Manufac-
turers' Association, $4,000.
