problems, either. Until the Citi-

the conventions to Chicago arranged
to furnish the Stadium for $25, 900
to each party, Hallanan estimated
that the cost of readying the amphi-
theater alone would amount to $48,-

The services of over 100 men
working about three weeks are de-
manded for preparing the Stadium.
Canopies outside the main en-

ing. One hundred and twenty flags
must be hung from the rafters to

be set up and equipped with medical
goods, light and water. A huge plat
form holding 1870 people must be
constructed, with a special confer
ence room underneath it. And, Of
course, seats enclosed within stanch-

tons must be put up.
Elaborate preparations must be
made to accommodate the press,
newsreel and radio, especially this
year when the two conventions will
attract international attention. AL
ready, reservations have been asked
by newspaper representative from
Britain, Russia, South America, Chi
ma, Sweden and French Africa, and,

their technicians will be on the job

Not only will the press be seated
