Contention Hall Is Decked Out Anew All Dressed Up For_ Democrat Conclave ■CONVENTION HALL, Chicago, UP — Thp Democrats got off on a keynote ;of showmanship and gunjumping today. \ : \ Delegates Arriving early for the 31st Deinocratic national convention forind the livestock Amphitheatre a sunburst of American flags, nylon bunting and campaign slogans. Even the speaker’s podium had the new look. The prow of the podium, facing the delegtaes, was freshly hung with blue wrallpaper. With a quilted design like that used on the walls of an ultraplush night club. At: 9:30 a. .m., GST, one hour before the scheduled starting tmie, a baritbne stepped to the microphones on the speaker’s stand' and the strains of the riational anthem blared through the hall. A handful of startled delegates rose to their feet. U n i f o r m e d guards snapped to attention and saluted- Reporters, who had watched the Republicans start their first conventpin session one hour and three minutes late, wondered! what was going on. Turned but it was just a practice session. v Profi * B y TV The Democrats had profited well from watching the Republicans on the television screen. In each of the folding chairs for delegates on the convention floor there was placed a neat little printed card, pointing' the finger of party pride, ft said: “YOU will be on television. 140,000,000 eyes will watch YOU. Remember — you may not know it —television may be showing a closeup picture of you.” Chicken Wire A new feature of the speaker’s stand —gold-colored mesh chicken wire fixed to the railing. This creates a fence around thp plat : form, presumably as a safeguard to prevent losing any speakers overboahl if they fall asleep waiting their turn.
