ATLANTA, Oct. 10 (UP)—Grandmothers who reared their

Their regular bed time went right on by unnoticed. Up to midnight the hotel lobby was their hangout. But they spent their time bragging on their offspring and not on laying groundwork for after-convention hours of revelry, "If any of the convention-goers
