Houston, Dallas?
Democrats scope out 1980 convention site
United Press International
WASHINGTON — If the Demo
cratic Party had to choose today, its
1980 presidential convention would
probably be held in Houston or De
troit, while the Republicans have
nine cities to choose from, led by
Dallas, Los Angeles and Min
neapolis.
Spokesmen for both parties stress
that no decisions have been made
on any cities. But a number of polit
ical and logistical factors rule against
certain cities even before party
committees begin looking over
sites.
Ratification of the Equal Rights
Amendment will probably have a
major role in determining where the
1980 conventions are held — since
the National Organization for Wo
men’s boycott of states that have not
ratified the amendment is expected
to still be on.
The Democrats have a firm rule
against meeting in these states. Re
publicans backed ERA in their 1976
platform, and while they have no
rule, it is unlikely they would take
the political risk of going to an un
ratified state.
Traditional convention cities such
as Miami Beach, Chicago, New Or
leans, Kansas City and Las Vegas
would be ruled out because their
states have not ratified ERA.
There is a good chance Florida
may ratify ERA in time for the con
vention to be held in Miami Beach,
and an outside chance Illinois will,
bringing Chicago strongly into the
convention picture.
“If we had to decide now, it
would probably be between Hous
ton and Detroit,” said Susan
Morrison of the Democratic Na
tional Committee staff. Miami, New
Orleans and Los Angeles have also
expressed interest in the Demo
crats.
When asked about Los Angeles,
Morrison said, “We’d like some
thing a little more centralized,”
which is the polite way of saying
they don’t want to go to California
where Gov. Edmund G. Brown is a
potential Carter presidential rival.
The Republicans’ site selection
committee will hold hearings in
Washington next week on a conven
tion site.
GOP spokesman Pete Teeley said
Detroit, Miami Beach, Kansas City,
Minneapolis-St. Paul, New Orleans,
Cleveland, Dallas-Fort Worth, Los
Angeles, and Las Vegas have all
applied for the convention.
Four of the nine have ERA prob
lems, and Cleveland and Detroit are
short on hotel rooms, leaving Dal
las, Los Angeles and Minneapolis as
the early leaders.
“But who knows, anything can
happen between now and 1980,”
Teeley said.
First Arab conference
held since 1976 war
United Press International
BEIT EDDINE, Lebanon —
While Syrian forces and Christian
militiamen traded sniper fire in
Beirut, Arab foreign ministers
Monday tried to work out a peace
plan to end the lingering fighting.
President Elias Sarkis late Sunday
opened the first Arab conference on
the Lebanon crisis since the 1975-76
civil war, telling the delegates the
Lebanese were counting on the dip
lomats to “free the country from its
ordeal,” official Beirut radio said.
The conferees — representing
Lebanon, Syria, Saudi Arabia,
Kuwait, Qatar, the United Arab
Emirates and Sudan — drew up a
“working paper,’’ conference
sources said, for Monday’s talks at
the 19th-century summer presiden
tial palace in the southeast hill town
of Beit Eddine.
But 25 miles away in Beirut, Sy
rian forces and Israeli-armed Christ
ian militiamen traded sniper fire,
and an occasional rocket-propelled
grenade blast was heard.
Eight months of fighting in Beirut
peaked earlier in the month in the
city’s worst rocket, artillery and
mortar battles ever. The weeklong
fighting killed 500 Lebanese —
mostly Christian civilians — left
3,000 wounded and displaced half a
million others, the Red Cross said.
At one point in the battle, artil
lery shells hit Beirut's main power
grid, leaving the city in darkness
with communications to the outside
world severed. Fires raged, and

city appeared to be under an
atomic-bomb-like mushroom cloud.
Senior Arab diplomats were pri
vately skeptical of the chances for a
long-term peace blueprint between
the Christians and Syrian forces,
who helped end the civil war and
are in Syria as part of the Arab
League peace-keeping force.
But the diplomats said Sarkis
hoped at least to consolidate the
cease-fire announced nine days ago.
Sarkis and the Arab ministers
were expected to advocate renewal
of the Arab force mandate, which
expires Oct. 26, but also to trim Sy
rian troop presence in some Christ
ian areas.
Each side has accused the other of
violating the cease-fire. A statement
from the mostly Syrian Arab League
peacekeeping force Sunday said the
militias were “trying to keep the
security situation precarious, espe
cially during the meeting of the
Arab foreign ministers.”
The communique said a Lebanese
security officer was wounded by a
sniper near Lebanon’s palace of jus
tice on the dividing line between
Christian eastern Beirut and mostly
Moslem western Beirut.
