South Dakotans Quit
Convention in Huff,
But Return Quickly
BY the Associoied Pres,

CHICAGO, July 25.-South Da-
kota's delegates to the Democratic
convention walked out in a huff
last night, but they walked right
back a few minutes later.
You won't hear from us again
except when we vote for Kefau-
ver," Delegation Chairman George
A. Bangs said early today.
The eight-vote South Dakota
delegation backed Senator Estes
Kefauver of Tennessee in his race
for the party's presidential nomi-
nation. It was miffed by what
Mr.. Bangs called arbitrary rul-
lngS" by the convention chairman,
House Speaker Sam Rayburn of
Texas.
The delegation began to build
up steam Wednesday night when
the party platform was gaveled
through by voice vote before the
Kefauver forces could offer an
amendment to write in recon-
mendations growing out of the
TenneSsean's Nationwide crime
probe.
Ruling on Louisiana Vote.
Then came ruling by Ray
burn at last nights tumultuous
session that all 20 of the Louisi-
ana delegations votes could be
cast by the three delegates from
the State who had agreed to a.
party loyalty pledge.
Mr.. Bangs grabbed a micro
phone and shouted that the South
Dakota delegates were leaving be-
cause of the grossly unfair man.
ner" in which Mr.. .Rayburn was
acting. Mr.. Rayburn hotly de-
MED that he had acted unfairly.
But the South Dakotans were
or the march in the first walk
out of the convention. causing one
more uproar in an uproarious
marathon session.
It wasn't long, though. before
they came strolling back and took
their seats in the convention hall.
I'VE weren't walking out of the
Democratic Party" said Mr..
Bangs. a Rapid City lawyer. 1--WE
were just protesting the arbitrary
actions of the chair"
The walkout occurred during
the vete on the seating of the
Virginia delegation.
Abuse of Power Charged.
Permitting Louisiana to cast
20 votes was an abuse of the
chairman's power" MI. Bangs
said. He also contended the vot-
ing had been slowed down to give
delegations that had voted against
Virginia a chance to change their
votes
The switches changed the vote
total enough so that the Vir-
ginians finally got their seats.
Mr. Bangs said there was not
a word of truth TO reports that
he had a fight outside of the con-
vention hall with South Dakota
delegate who objected to the walk
out.
There was no fight" Mr.. Bangs
said, adding the South Dakota
standard was brought back with
his consent.
II didn't come back with the
others at first" he said, because
I was a little upset."

rooms, electric heat pumps and
what not-that a choice seems to
be as confusing as trying to figure
out a complicated mathematical
problem.
To weigh the advantages and
disadvantages of every type of
heating system is a tough Job.
Taking lot of short cuts, you can
say that circulating warm air is

The cost of installing radiant
baseboards varies with room sizes
and heat losses Of structures as
well as with the type of Dashboard.
Heating contractors generally
quote $5 to $3.50 per linear foot,
depending on the amount of re-
modelling involved and radiation

Decorators and housewives are
quick to appreciate the advantages
of these Dashboard systems be-
cause Of the freedom of space
afforded for furniture placement,
wall-to-wall carpeting and window
drapery. The Plumbing and
Heating Industries Bureau points
out that either radiant baseboards
or low-level convectors offer solu-
tions for heating rooms with large
picture windows. Most installa-
tions merely take the place Of
existing wooden baseboards.
