 New York, Dec. i7 (NE.AJ--Con~ rad Nicholson Hilton, s4, c tali, grayine, pleasant but extremely restless man, is the nations greatest host--to paying guests.
 Tn the midst of the housing shortage, he controls 1OO00 rooms in a dozen different hotels, from New Yorks swank Plaza and the equally plush Town House in Los Angeles to smaller Hilton hotels in Lubbock and Longview, Tex.
 But being host isn't what Hil- ton finds most fascinating about the hotel business.
 Cleans Up Fortune
 q like the negotiation, acquisi~ tion and financing of the properties best" he says. i've always got the pot boiling"
 For S7,5OO,00O, he snapped up Chicago's 27OO-room Stevens Hotel. ''The price included everything but the whiskey," he says. Tt hasn't had an empty room since we took over. Been making money SO fast we can't count 1t. I once figured out that we serve a million people month in the Stevens, either with @ room, e meal, a, drink or just a package of cigarets."
 From a depression low of $500,- 900 in debts and no income, Hilton has cleaned up a personal fortune of between eight and nine million dollars. But he still hasn't enough money to go around buying hotels without outside financial help.
 How 14 Was Put
 'When I bought the Palmer House in Chicago for S10,385y 900. people said where does that guy Hilton get all that money? In that deal, the First National Bank of Chicago put up about $11 ,000, 900. Atlas Corp, and City Investing both put up some. The rest came from the boys.
 "Some of these people have been stringing along with me for years, making money at it. Whenever we go into something new they cut in"
 With his hotels all making money, Hilton is looking for new deals. His vision isn't limited by US. shores. Already he's signed contract to operate a still-to-be-built $3yO00, 900 hotel at San Juan, P. R.
 Hardly a day passes that son1e- one, somewhere doesn't offer me hotel to buy or operate somewhere in the world, in Egypt. Asia, South America or Pleasantville, US.A."
 Particular
 But Hilton is no longer interested in just any hotel.
 'It must be great hotel, fam- ous hotel. Or maybe brand new hotel"
 Hilton doesn't look upon the ex- banding of his chain as a gamble i've got good organization that is capable of absorbing many more properties. think I know more about the hotel business than most people" he admits modesty.
 Hilton is more or less a Texan by adoption although he has made his headquarters in Los Angeles since 1888 and spends good deal of time in New York City. "You need a foot hold in New York" he says. Its the financial capital of the coun- try"
