OF the 18-member contingent,
In the m morning. Stevenson
Symington forces, out to block
q commitment until the first
ballot, went down to defeat in
q 9-to-9 tie.
George Weaver, a Symington
man, was absent when the cru
cial 9-to-9 vote was taken. His
alternate, James F. Reilly,
voted his own rather than Mr.
Weaver's conviction to tie up
the vote, clearing the way for
the Kennedy Endorsement.
Mr.. Weaver said last night
he would demand another vote
on the convention floor after
the nominations are made to-
day. He's for staying with Sen
ator Humphrey on the first bal
lot. And his vote alone, II the
other factions hold fast, would
be enough to put the District
block back behind Senator
Humphrey, who is no longer @
serious candidate.

Los ANGELES, July 49,
Mafyland's Democratic conven-
tion delegates, firmly commit
ted to Senator ennedy of Mas
sachusetts on the first ballot
here tonight, were being ap-
preached today by emiSsaries
of Adlai Stevenson and Sena-
tor johnson.
Gov. TaweS said he was ready
and willing to listen to any
overtureS from the other presi-
Dental contenders.
But the Governor again re-
peated that Maryland's "a votes
are bound to Senator Kennedy.
He did say that Maryland
would be alert for any switch
in sentiment away from the
Massachusetts, front = runner,
but as of now the delegation
remains committed.
Nevertheless, spokesman from
the johnson and Stevenson
camps went ahead with their
attempts to set up meetings
with delegates.
Wonder About Seats
Meanwhile, the delegates
were finding out that their
front-row seats which they
had considered choice-might
not be so advantageous after
all.
After a bruising two days
climaxed by last nights crush
ing demonstration for Mr..
Stevenson, some delegates are
saying they'd rather be stu
ated elsewhere.
Maryland laps were loaded
with teetering marchers swarm
ing around the smiling man
from Illinois.
One young woman on the
edge of the Stevenson crowd
had to disentangle a leg from
a Maryland chair that folded
as the mob milled by.
Delegates at Ease
But the comforts Of the con-
vention hall and the pleasures
Of California weather are about
all Maryland's delegation has
had to ponder.
Committed by primary vote
to support Senator Kennedy at
least on the first ballot, Mary
land has not even found it
necessary to caucus since the
first day when the States ma
tional committeeman and COM
mitteewoman were reelected.
Yesterday, the Maryland
delegates slipped screwdrivers
and Bloody Marys with Perle
Mesta at a party given by the
Capital hostess.
Delegate Perry Wilkinson
managed to squeeze in a visit
to one Of the movie studios.
Amid all the pleasantries
however. they were keeping a
watchful eye on convention
developments, and are gen.
orally pleased with what they
have seen so far.

PIT STOPS
BY DICK SLAY

LIS miles of road course, even
at the slower average Of 63.8
The press box did its owr
calculations to arrive at the
average speeds and some writer
/ this name escapes mel came
up with the 64.5 figure in a
hurry after the final checkered
flag. That meant Penske
averaged better than 1888 for
all 40 laps, and it just didn't
stand up under careful reckon
ing.
Complaints from the losers
were hard to find as dusk fell
Sunday. Bob Holbert, who
raced Penske's car before it was
sold to the newcomer in June
last year. said his newer
Porsche RISK didn't miss a
beat" on the way to second
place.
1t was learned later that Hol-
bert's mount was "burbling"
coming out Of the first hairpin
and not accelerating as quick
ly as Penske's. But you'd bet
ter watch out for this boy"
Holbert warned everyone within
earshot.
Dick Thompson, who finished
third, offered no excuses for
the Sting Ray Corvette. 81 Just
couldn't keep all four wheels
on the ground" the dentist said.
AS for the "birdcage" Mas
erati driven to fourth place by
CASTOR Audrey, it simply wasn't
geared to the course. Audrey
had enough trouble nosing out
Penske in the National event
at Pensacola two weeks earlier.

For what it's worth, Rogel

The refguring resulted after

Don SesSlar's winning average
last year in Porsche RISK was
60.7 m.p.h. Walt Hansgen did
55.7 in 1858 in the Cunningham

However, a Briggs Cunning
