(UPI)A traffic vie, tim had a whole nose Monday because four California highh sliver of it a way patrolmen teamed up to relay a 'total of about 83 miles.. The drama began Sunday when a car containing James Whisenant, of Barstow, Calif., and four companions went out of control and plunged into a ditch on U.S, 91 near Yermo, 0Stiàld'i.0.14iy AS one-inc- . -- WASHINGTON (UPI) -Warren Commission investigat- ing the assassination of Presi- - First rage - , dent John F. Kennedy was ex- pected Monady to look Into the publication of portions of the diary of tee Harvey Oswald, accused of the crime. Contents of the diary, which is in the commission's hands, were ,described in a copyright story over the weekend by the Dallas Morning News, touching off complaints about the docu- ment's release. '''' Rep. Gereld R. Ford, R- Mich., a member of. the blue- ribbon panel ' headed-- by Chief Justice Earl Warren, said the diary's contents were not re-vealed by anyooe associated with the commission. He said he expected the matter to be brought up at the commission's meeting Monday, and said he was "disturbed" ever publication of. parts of the diary dealing with Oswald's life in the Soviet Union. , References to the diary are expe6ted to be included, in. the which 'commission's report, may be issued in a week or Facilities. The city must have a hallpreferably airconditionedlarge enough to accorrunodate the convention; hotel rooms to house those attending, and: adequate transportation. Chicago over the years has been a popuhe site because it excels in this factor. It lost this year primarily ' bekause its cash guarantee was so low. ' 3. 'The time-zon- e factor. Since 1952, when nationwide television began covering the conventions, the West Coast, bi, cause it is on Pacific time, has become increasingly popular. ' Reason Is Simple , The reason Is simple: TV coverage provides "free adver- tising for the party holding the convention. By staging impork, talit convention activities in the early evening from a West Coast site, the party gets exposure at prime viewing time all over the country. 5. Political considerations. A convention helps develop enthusiasm in theirea for the party holding it Thus, party chieftains sometimes find it advantageous to hold a convention in. an important state to help the partrcarrj, the area in the national election. This factor has been considerably downgraded by the advent of television. With your first glimpse of- either convention, you will see thousands of persons milling around among the banners and placards on the convention floor. Who are all these people?. , More than 5,000 are.newspaper, magazine, radio and tele:vision reporters. In the bunting-drape- d balconies are a tliouand spectators. A, few are convention officials. The rest are delegates and alternates to the convention. ' At the Republican, convention, there are 2,616 delegates and alternates with1,308 votes. That means .655 votes are . ' needed for nomination. At the Democratic convention, there are0,260 delegates and alternates with 2,316 votes. Tis nom1nate:1,158. (Fractional votes, consisting pf one-havote per delegate, are m- sible at the Democratic convention liecause some states have more delegates than votes) , How They're Chosen How were these delegates and alternates selected? Most were named at state or district conventions or by state executive committees of the party.-I- n 13 states and the District of Columbia, the delegates were elected by enrolled party meMbers. Some of the delegates come to the convention "pledged" - to one or another of the presidential candidates. But the pledge usually operates only for the first ballot After that, the delegates are free to switch. What is the average delegate like? , , Stuclies of .past conventions indicate that the average delegate is abdul 50 years old, has a higher than average education and a relatively high incorne, close to $15,000 a year. Few Rich Men A few, of course, are very rich Men who have made siza- ble financial contributions to the party. Some are laborers, whose expenses at the konvention may be paid by collections d taken ,up by their unions. About are lawyers. Most of those attending the conventions pay their own way. The cot of transportation and housing can run to more than $500, depending upon how far the delegates must travel to get to the convention city. Pretty Good Americans Three professors who have studied convention delegations , for the Brookings Institution concluded that the great majority , of delegates are "about as reputable a group of individuals as could reasonably be expected in any large political assembly In this imperfect world." In some cases, however, the average delegate Is as con-,, fused by the goings-o- n at a convention as are the spectators. ii He has had political experience,- - but only at the local level. The ordinary delegate seeks advice from a man he trusts ,, who knows the situation and candidates personally, the key delegates. The key delegates are those' with personal contacts ' and influence with party leaders from other states. Among the most Influential of AevaitTISEMINT the key delegates are the gov ernors. Working together they GOOD , ,can be a decisive influence in a .convention. Most historians agree that Republican governors, ,working under an informs1 agreement made at the Cover-nors' Conference, at Houston, Competition is keen.
