number Of conventions-325 ma
tional or regional gatherings
during 1851, it was reported last
night by James E. Collihower, ex-
ecutive chairman of the Greater
National Capital Committee.
The 100000 out-of- town dele
gates attending the meetings are
estimated to, have spent more than
$22 million. This was placed be-
side about $178 million left by
tourists and other visitors in pic
turing the Districts income from
these sources.
THAT our convention and tour
ist business has become established
as major economic factor IN
this city is no longer open to any
Question" Mr.. Collihower reported.
He gave this comparison of the
number Of conventions here in
recent years: 1947-175: 1915
230; 1949-216. and 195O-312.
$4,000 Delegates i'm Week.
In one week end last year, dur
ing the national convention OF
the American Dental Association
and the meeting of the Jehovah's
Witnesses, Washington was host
to more than $4,000 convention
delegates, he noted.
"The successful accommodation
OF an r-increaSing convention
program amply justif1es the GNCC
decision made just after the ko-
rean incident to pursue our con-
vention solicitations on as inten-
sive a scale as possible" Mr.. Col
liflower said.
During 1851, an average of more
than six conventions a week was
recorded, with an attendance o1
over 600 persons per convention.
Mr.. Collifiower credited a mas.
terful" sales engineering job tt
the committee staff in scheduling
the conventions for a practically
constant flow of delegates in ane
out Of the city.
"Such scheduling eliminated, tx
a large degree. the peaks ant

TONERS, totaled an estimated .

Auto Court Deaths Suggest Foul Play

VANCOUVER, B.C., P-Blood- stains and missing suitcase con- taining gold Thursday indicated the possibility of foul play in the mysterious deaths of two men in the gas-filled cabin of an auto court here.
 The badly decomposed bodies of Paul Rousseau, 62, and Martin Lepine, 54, were found in Cabin 27 Wednesday by proprietor Jo- seph Mcintyre when he went to collect the rent.
 The bloodstains were found un- der the bed on which Rousseau'S naked body was lying. Mcintyre said that when he found the bod ieS, Rousseau was wearing a ban dage on his head that was not there when the two men regis tered Feb. 4.
 Al Champagne, a relative of Lupine, said Lepine was expec- ting delivery of a suitcase con- taining gold which was to have been sent to him from Seward, Alaska.
 He said he had not paid much attention to Lepine's story of the suitcase but recalled him saying: "It will be worth $16,0O0 to me-"
 The suitcase has not turned up.
 The gas heater in the cabin was turned on full but there was no flame. There was a strong smell of gas though two windows were partly open.

Dr. Moore Says
 Alaska Needs More Business Pioneers

SEATTLE - Dr. Ferris Moore, president of the University of AL aska, said recently there are three basic economic needs for the de- velopment of Alaska:
 ''NeW inventions and techniques applicable to the territory, ener- getic businessmen who can carve an empire out of Americas last frontier and freedom from bu- reaucracy."
 Moore told the Seattle chamber of commerce that in addition, a free gold market would be valu- able incentive to progress in AL aska.
 eve need a center for new in- ventions and techniques applic- able to Alaska as a frontier terri tory," Moore said, land naturally, the university would be an ideal center from which to apply the practicality of new methods.
 "Also, I think Alaska should have freedom from federal bu- reaucrocy. If Alaska had couple of senators, then some of the evils of bureaucracy could be weeded out"
 Referring to free gold market, Moore said, "When communism has been done away with, we should have free gold. The people are entitled to it. After all, gold is just a commodity like anything else"
