Half-a-billion people are expected to watch the non-competitive opening ceremonies on television along with 80,000 in-person viewers at the magnificent Olympic Stadium.

For their view at the stadium, most customers will pay 250 pesos, or $20. The skeptics had said it couldn't be done, that a developing nation such as Mexico lacked the political and economic stability to stage the world's greatest sports spectacle. Mexico, tossing aside the traditional manana philosophy, has done it. When the solemn opening pageantry begins at 11 a.m. local time, the spectacle will be bigger than ever.

There will be more nations represented (119), more athletes marching more reporters writing about them (4,000) and, with the Sierra Madre towering in the background, possibly more majesty than ever before. The rainy season here was supposed to have ended a week ago, but rain has been falling on recent afternoons. However, the forecast for Saturday calls for typical October weather: Brilliant sunshine, clear blue skies and big, marble-like clouds sitting close to the mountaintops. Because the United States of America comes out as Estados Unidos de America (E.U.A.) in Spanish the American delegation will enter the stadium as No. 41 in the parade.

Mrs. Janice Lee York Romary, a 40-year-old fencer appearing in her sixth Olympics, will lead the 39-member U.S. contingent in the role of flag-carrier. Only the Soviet Union has more athletes here than the United States. Afghanistan will head the parade, and Mexico, as the host nation, will bring up the rear.

If the schedule holds up, the parade of athletes will take about an hour the largest single segment of the 2-hour, 8-minute ceremony. Mrs. Romary is the first woman to carry the Stars and Stripes for a U.S. Olympic team. An even more momentous first will be achieved when Norma Enriqueta Basilio, a 20-year-old member of the Mexican team, carries the torch into the stadium and lights the sacred Olympic flame.

No woman has held this role in the 2,744 years since the Olympics first honored the gods of ancient Greece. The lighting of the flame, always a breath-taking moment at the Olympics, will not take place until near the end of the program. Mexico, the first Latin American nation to stage the Olympics, has called the venture a five-year marathon with high hurdles. At other times, when the operation bogged down, it was described as an exercise in masochism. But the hurdles, including five major crises, have been hurdled.

Mexico has put together a magnificent complex of athletic sites for the 19 different sports, at the relatively low cost of $150 million. urday and more likely until Monday. companies, one of them concerned with defense supplies production, were expected to locate in Tucson and employ more than 1,800 persons within a year.
