Dinner Tickets Slow for Presidential Banquet
The Washington Post Los Angeles reports a weak ticket sale for the banquet to the President at the Shring Auditorium on October 1. Less than half the tickets are sold despite a strong push and an offer of three gallery tickets with each banquet ticket. The limited seating of 380 led to selective admission as names were requested from applicants and 25 additional prearranged attendees were to be honored. The President's letter of endorsement briefly boosted demand, then faded again as the tariff stance was publicized, leaving the committee scrambling to find willing purchasers.
