Then there is a problem bothering the individuals who inhabit the drawing rooms, salons and saloons of Nob Hill, where the local variety of cafe society lives. The big autumn event in their lives is the autumn opera season, which will get under way just about the 'time the Legionnaires experience the first reaction to registering for the convention. Official Headquarters The Municipal Opera House is one-half ot San. Francisco's Civic Center War Memorial.

The other and adjoining half is the Veterans' Auditorium which will be official headquarters for Legion convention activities. Now, the' opera patrons, Fill plush and swish in their new clothes, may be the target for hotel manager to bartender and cab driver. they say the convention will be one "giant headache," meaning lots of money, but "brother, what a pain, what. a pain." Eleven of 15 cab drivers predicted the convention days would be periods of "rough sledding" with the "younger element" some of the powder that might go off for a big explosion. The other four, all Legionnaires, looked for no trouble.

The average citizen is worrying about the Legion's parade that is scheduled for Oct. 1 all day. About 100,000 are expected to. walk from the Ferry Building along Market to the Seals Stadium. The duration-is estimated at 12 to 14 hours, which will close Market street to all types of traffic for a whole day.

And practically everyone in San Francisco uses Market street once a day. "Of course." says Ed Sharkey, general convention chairman, 4, to To.0 some horseplay by the conventioh members who could operate adrist dignity with all the en- iasm of good clean fun.

American Legion is coming to town for its first full-dress post-war convention next week. The common comment expressed by resident San Franciscans, who have just played hosts to the Shriners, is: "Hang on to your hats, boys, here we go again!" Officially. and on second thought.

the citizens are in unanimous agreement that Legion national convention delegates are not at all the type who would cause trouble. But thinking of them in terms of tens of thousands, all swirling- around at. sea level, the home front- citizenry agree with Fire Chief Albert J. Sullivan. When asked about his department's preparations for the conclave, he said: "We are prepared for any emergency." Deputy Police Chief Michael J.

Riordan won't go that far. He is sure the Legionnaires won't tear up the town. In fact, this peace officer. who is chairman of the copvention's service, law and order committee. believes San Francisco will not only be surprised but pleased by the deportment of the veterans.

Calling Reserves Buthe is calling 300 police reserves to duty for the duration of the meeting. They and the regular officers will have their instructions. "Our officers," says Riordan, "are experienced and patient and use old-fashioned common. sense. San Francisco is known everywhere as a city of freedom and fun.

If we treat the Legionnaires that way, they won't abuse privileges." Moreover, he is confident the convention's "elaborate self-policing service" will help his uniformed officers be patient and full 4of "old-fashioned common sense" if any of the delegates do abuse the traditional privileges Of freedom and fun-loving host city.
