...outdoor shows and one big hall for indoor shows, the Nazis will have no less than five stadia and four halls-a place for everything-when they get through building in 1943. Not yet completed are the Exhibition Hall, the Kultur Hall, the Nazi Congress Hall, the March Field where an army corps will be able to maneuver, or the New Stadium for party sports. But Nazis do pretty well with what is already...
...camp midway between the old town and the party grounds. Every night up to 100,000 Nazis who are to perform before the Fuhrer on the morrow are bedded in barracks at the Party Camp adjoining the broad Lake Dutzend and buildings. Pending the completion of super-colossal March Field, Adolf Hitler this week had to be content with the Zeppelin Meadow, holding 100,000 spectators. And pending the completion of the Nazi Congress Hall, world's largest (40,000 seats). Orator Hitler was to speak to 10,000 sitters and 20,000 standees in Luitpold Hall. Also...

Last fortnight the Chicago Tribune held its annual Chicagoland Music Festival (classic music; attendance, 85,000) in Soldier Field on the lakefront. This week it sponsored an All-Star football game on the Field. Calculating that it would be too expensive to dismantle a loudspeaker system on the Field between the two events, the Tribune agreed to let a rival, the tabloid Daily Times, use the equipment last week for a free entertainment of its own-a "Swing Jam Session" of five "name...
...jitterbugs filled the seats in Soldier Field. Police closed the gates, but reopened them under pressure from a mob outside. At 7 p. m. there were 100,000, average age 18. By the time the swing session began, 200,000 screaming, jittering, snake-dancing, stampeding youngsters were at large in the stadium, and hell was loose...
