The number of Negro delegates is increased from 1964 up from 14 full delegates at the San Francisco convention to 26 in Miami Beach.

But their representation still will be minimal: a mere 2 percent of 16 Evening Massachusetts (2 each), and California. Delaware, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania and the Virgin Islands (1 each). There will, however, be 52 Negro alternate delegates at the convention, representing 2 4 states and territories. In 1964, 43 Negroes 14 full delegates and 29 alternates attended the Republican convention. By comparison, Negroes will account for more of the voting strength at this year's Democratic convention.

Latest totals show 139 Negroes as full delegates to the Chicago convention, accounting for 4.7 percent of the Democrats' full delegate total. In neither party, however, will Negroes have representation commensurate with their share of the national population. According to the 1960 Census 25 Singing voice 18 Great arterial 26 Candlenut trunk 22 Moviedom's were Deing "systematically" excluded from the delegation. The delegation is technically uncommitted and will be headed by David Treen, a 1968 congressional candidate and an unsuccessful congressional candidate in 1962 and 1964. Other members of the delegation include State Chairman Charles deGravelles and National Committeeman Tom Stagg.

The convention is scheduled to open next Monday (Aug. 5) in Miami Beach. Repeat Delegates The count of convention repeaters is based on member Figures, Negroes represent 10.5 percent of the nation. Credentials Fights The race problem is likely to dominate challenges in the GOP Credentials Committee.

Negroes, charging improper representation, are preparing challenges to the Florida and Louisiana delegations, and also may file challenges against the Tennessee and Texas delegations. No Negroes have been named ship in the 44 delegations first officially certified for the Miami Beach convention. The same approximate percentage repeaters is expected to hold up when all delegates are certified.

Thus earlier CLOVERDALE, British Columbia (AP) The lifeguard here is a computer.

The Fraser River has a tendency to overflow its banks when the spring snows melt, and the district of Surrey, a sprawling 132-square mile suburb of Vancouver, long has lived under the threat of floods. Now Surrey has turned to electronics for help. A computer has classified the community's 83,500 residents, most of whom live along the river, to speed their rescue during the floods. The Honeywell computer knows which residents have their own flood transportation so that rescue efforts won't be wasted trying to reach families already evacuated. It also keeps tabs on persons who have volunteered to house flood victims and classifies them according to such categories as job, income and religion.

predictions by some political figures that the Miami Beach delegate rosters would have a preponderance of veterans from the Goldwater nomination have not proven accurate. Only 16 states and territories are sending any Negroes as full delegates to the convention New York (4), Maryland and the District of Columbia (3 each), Arkansas, Illinois and these states, though Louisiana named two Negro alternates and Tennessee one Negro alternate. In Iowa, a challenge to the seating of U.S. Rep. H.

R. Gross, one of the most colorful conservatives in the House, appears to be in the offing. The charge alleges that Gross was improperly substituted for another delegate at the Iowa GOP convention. Unofficial counts show that 20 Republican senators and 59 Republican House members will be delegates at Miami Beach. 23 Governors Of the nation's 26 Republican Reagan and one said he could support either Nixon or Reagan.

Although two Negroes serve as alternate delegates, Jesse W. Cook, leader of concerned Negro Republicans of Louisiana, is expected to file a challenge to the delegation. Cook, June 14 sent Nixon a telegram urging that Nixon use his influence to guarantee an integrated delegation. Cook, and other Negroes voiced dismay at reports that Nixon's Southern regional manager, former U.S. Rep.

Howard H. Callaway (R-Ga. 1965-67), had suggested that former Gov. George C. Wallace (D-Ala.) join the Republican party.

In his telegram, Cook said that Callaway was "a long-time segregationist and his prominence in your (Nixon's) campaign is an affront to every Negro in the United States." A direct confrontation was avoided at the state convention after Callaway decided not to make a scheduled appearance. At the convention, Cook nominated two Negroes who reportedly favored the nomination of Rockefeller for delegate positions. Both men were Cook than charged that the two men lost because the top leadership had given them no support. DeGravelles denied that Negroes were excluded from the delegate selection process in the state, adding that the dispute was a contest between Nixon and Rockefeller supporters rather than between whites and Negroes.
