It's not quite as bad as it sounds however One reporter can pick all the credentials for his newspaper So it means there will probably be only about 2000 men and women standing in line every morning during the convention this week The reason for the ruling is to prevent anyone from making forged credentials which happened in Chicago last time THE MUSEUrilROqK SHOP IT'S WONr)ERF14L INE'rZE AGAINST 114E SAME 114INGS! 9923 US HWY 80 WEST CLOSED SUNDAY 244-1035 LONG BEACH New York's Atlantic is 127 miles long USE CLASSIFIEDS-332-7722 MAKE SURE YOU BUY THE RIGHT AIR CONDITIONER FOR THE JOB cash a travelers' check or use a credit card except in the hotel in which you are registered And you've got to have plenty of cash because the cab fare from the Texas delegation hotel to convention hall is $10 one way tip included THE HOTEL where the Texas delegation is staying has a rock 'n' roll group performing nightly in a club in the basement It sounds like thunder and it's piped upstairs into the main dining room So if the Texas delegates want to do a little horse trading while taking on sustenance they will have to do it over roll of the drums and the banging of the steel guitars Newspapermen interviewing cab drivers is almost a cliche but it's inevitable One cabbie pointed out one of the more plush hotels along the so-called Golden Strip and said it had an excellent restaurant "What does it specialize in?" asked the newsman answered the cabbie The Democrats aren't making things easy for the newsmen trying to cover this convention Each day the newsmen will have to pick up new credentials to get into the convention hall nail When you figure there are about 4000 ncwsmen here and the credentials are coming out of just two offices you can see there might be a problem By JOHN MORT MIAMI years ago when the Republicans staged their convention here the Tex- as delegates lodged in a second-rate hotel that was right o' Lit next to the 4 convention ii 1 hotel head- ri itra quarters and five minutes ith away from conven- JOHN tion hall MORT At Democratic convention here this week the Texas delegation is again in a second-rate hotel but this time it is an hour's ride away from the convention hall That is it took an hour Sunday When the convention actually starts Monday it's got to be longer and maybe a lot longer In fact it looks as if the Texans are going to spend a substantial part of their time riding buses and taxicabs Why were the Texas Democrats who after all carried the state for Humphrey in 1968 treated so miserably here this time? IT WAS JUST a matter of poor luck The various states drew lots for hotel accommodations and Texas came out 43rd So to the end of the beach for them Only the Arizona and Utah delegations ar efarther away from the convention hall The Arizonians are so far out as one cab driver put it "They might just as well forget about the whole thing" Things haven't improved here since 1968 This is still a town of much tinsel and little substance and prices are sky $485 for a ham sandwich and a bottle of domestic beer Or $150 for two Sunday newspapers Some of the Texas delegates and most of the Texas press are housed in a motel that is even drearier than the hotel Guests checking into the motel are greeted with a large sign on the clerk's desk which says "Your credit card must be presented upon arrival for clearance" And another which says "24-hour notice required on all departures" There is also posted for the benefit of the guests guidelines on how much to tip at breakfast lunch and dinner and how much to tip the maids who clean up the rooms And all the parking meters in Miami Beach are in effect around the clock seven days a week This also is a had town for those people who write the advertisements about how easy it is to use credit cards ''Better than cash" they say but they should add "except in Miami Beach" It's almost impossible to i Don't be fooled by the super-low prices you may sometimes see on compact air conditioners Chances are the prices are so low because the cooling capacities (BTU'S) are so low This Westinghouse compact 5000 is perfect for night-time bedroom cooling or for cooling smaller rooms of all kinds Please make sure you get all the cooling power you need And you can get it with a Westinghouse Room Air Conditioner 0 Full 5000 BTU's Ei Perfect for night-time bedroom cooling 0 in and take it home with you 0 Operates on 115 volts-2 speed fan 0 712 on electricity Imys i zotnAR I I 174 1 1 lb bo A 11 1 i I fit 1 I Ilifitdi I NI 11 p' I ''v 7: I ACO50N7Z get the air conditioning you need from Westinghouse PALL MALL U11111 Rills lower inlar' than the best-selling filter king! 11111111iiiini1111111111111111 I 11 Iiii111111 1 1 I 11 I 11111111111111111illiii1111111111111111111110 ffljmNlu 11111L1 27000 BTU Deluxe Large Capacity Model AS274 $399" Remember you can be sure it it's Model AS144N1K Model AC067M I Westinghouse Deluxe Room Air Conditioner 14000 BTU cooling capacity: 3-speed fan with Night Coot Adjustable air jet vanes Hideaway grille reveals controls 0porotos on 115 volts PALL MAU COW 100'inier" 11 mi 1 3 mg Bost tollme tgIlc king "Ite 20 ml -mtetom1 I mg 010 blonds Wanner 1 mg 01 mi Westinghouse Custom Compact Air Conditioner 6000 BTU cooling power Walnut panel front 3-speed fan High Medium and Night Eleven-position thermostat 5-year replacement warranty Models AS181 N2K AS241 N2K 24000 arrl 18000 BTU cooling capacities Infinite position thermostat automatically maintains desired room temperature 2-speed fan High and Night Cool Adjustable air directional louvers Protected by Westinghouse Nationwide Sure Service 18000 BTU 24000 BTU Westinghouse 18 mg "tar" 13 reg nicotine av pet cigarette FTC Report APRIL 72 95 I only $339" $289 1595 Nationwide tea 2-Foot Step Stool AIR CONDITIONING 20" 3-Speed Window Fan Can be used In many ways!
