THE KANSAS CITY edge appeared to be its ability to houseI the large number of delegates, guests and news media workers attracted to the huge nominating conventions. Cleveland, although it had the better convention hall, was handicapped by a lack of hotel space. It tried to make up the difference by offering cruise ships and temporary modular homes for hotel rooms. Miami Beach had been considered a fall-back position in case the two Midwestern bids fell through. The Florida resort area has one of the country's best convention halls and ample hotel accommodations. HOWEVER, party sources indicated the GOP really wantedj a convention somewhere in the Midwest more attuned to the "Middle American" constituency than Miami Beach or New! York City, where the Democrats will meet next July. A Kansas City convention would be held in the Kemper Sports Arena, home of the National Basketball Association Kings and the National Hockey League's Scouts. i The convention setup would be similar to Madison Square Garden, where the Democrats will meet, with some of the same problems of cramped quarters and lack of floor space. SPILLOVER from the Kemper Arena would go to neighbor- ing buildings, including a livestock-horse show arena. This might include such things as caucus and meeting rooms, news rooms and other support facilities. Kansas City originally had gotten into the bidding on the basis of a new convention center, now under construction, but this will not be used because the summer completion date is too close to count on for an August convention.
