FRISCH HUNDRED AS 193 g AIDE
 TO BILL TERRY.
Grimes to MontreaI?; :; Brooklyn to Broadcast
 All Games for '39=!4O
By TED MALOY


 United Press Stan C0rrespondent)
 New Orleans, Dec. 6-(UP)-Ru- mors outnumbered facts today as major and minor league baseball owners, scouts, managers and execu- tives gathered for the minor league convention opening tomorrow.
 One report was that Frankie Frisch, the former Fordham Flash who was deposed as manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, might return to the New York Giants, where he be- came a star player.
 It was said that Bill Terry, Giant manager, practically has clinched working agreement with New Or leans in the Southern association and that Pancho Snyder, Giant coach, would manage the Pelicans. In that case, Frisch could very easily be hired to replace Snyder.
 Waiver Rule
 Another report was that legisla- tion would be forthcoming which might hurt the New York Yankees and other clubs richly endowed with talent. It would come through changes in the waiver rule providing that a club can ask waivers on all its players and, should any be claimed, the waivers can be recalled. There is no limit to the number of times waivers may be asked or a club may claim a player.
 Some clubs want a return to the old rule which provided that if club asked waivers on player and he was claimed, it could not put in a recall. In such cases, clubs rarely ventured to ask waivers on any player another club was certain to claim. Such change would hurt the richer clubs who often in the past have asked for waivers to send a player out for more experinece.
 Grimes to Canada?
 Bob Quinn, president of the Bos- ton Bees, reportedly is leading the battle against the present waiver rule.
 The third report was that the signing of Burleigh Grimes as man. ager of the Montreal Royals means a tie-up between Montreal and Brooklyn. Larry MacPhail, execu- tive vice president of the Dodgers, denied this report. He did say, how ever, that Brooklyn would broad cast it's home and road games in 1889 and 1940, becoming the first New York club to permit this.
 Most of the 37 minor leagues rep resented here will hold individual meetings today. The International league yesterday voted to open its 1889 season April 20 and close it September 10.

NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-Heavy buy

RESEARCH CLEARS
WAY FOR RAY0N
PLANTEXPANS|QN
New Fibers May Prove
Major Competitors of
Japanese Silk.
BY the Associated Press.

~
NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-By way of
the test tubes of research workers
came hints today of a new wave Of
capital expenditures for plants to
convert laboratory ideas into business
activity and jobs
Textile circles said the two big syn
thetic fiber plants just projected by
Du Pont and Celanese Corp. interests
for immediate construction NAV be
forerunners of more expansion in that
line if business improvement holds
During recent years, it was said,
much money has been poured into
research for development of synthetic
fibers. particularly. Revival of bus
mess and re-opening of the capital
market to borrowing for plant ex-
penditures, trade authorities noted,
encourages industry to bring into pro-
duction ideas developed in labora-
tories during the years when the in
centive to lower costs and to ind
new waves of production was abetted
by poor business.
Details Kept Secret.
Details of the new synthetic fibers
to be manufactured in the $1,000, 900
plant at Seaford, Del, by the, E. I.
Du Pont de Nemours Corp. and at the
s10,O00,000 plant of the Celanese Corp.
OF America near Pearisburg, Va, were
kept trade secret. pending develop
ment of manufacturing plants.
However, in,
with developments in the field said
the new fibers promised to give impe-
tus to the rapidly developing rayon
and allied synthetic materials which
have assumed increasingly important
roles in textiles the last decade.
Rayon output, reviving after q
temporary lull, recently spurted to
record figures and crowded wool for
runner-up to cotton in domestic tex
tile fiber consumption. Last year
rayon consumption in the United
States was recorded as 30l 900 900
pounds, against about 354,OOO,OO for
wool.
Rayon use has more than doubled
since 1929 and increased from a figure
OF less than 100000 pounds in 1920.
Strong Competition Ahead.
The Celanese Corp, whose main
plant now is at Cumberland, Md,
went south into new manufacturing
territory for its latest venture. it was
noted. The company said the plant
ultimately was expected to employ
more persons than the Cumberland
factory, which has peak employment
of from 10000 to $4,000 with current
pay rolls placed at about 5000.
Causing certain fibre experts to
look for acceleration of expansion in
the synthetic field was the claim in
trade circles the new yarns would put
artificial silk into stronger competition
with the natural product in hosiery
manufacturing, where heretofore syn
thetic fibres have made relatively little
headway.
What this would do to the market
for japanese silk excited wide interest,
with some predicting a major reper-
cussion in the Pacific silk trade when
the new plants get into production.
However, it was expected to take q
year or more to bring manufacturing
capacity to point where the yarns
would be available in quantity.

Special Dispatch to The Star,

NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-The near
term prospect for the steel industry
remains clouded. but the medium and
longer term outlook is promising,
according to new study in Poor's
Industry and Investment Surveys.
Despite the fact that steel opera
tions have been approximately doubled
since early June. from "a per cent of
capacity to 81 per cent, it Is probable
that for most companies the third
quarter was still characterized by
sizable deficits, and that little gain
was registered over results of the

provement in net is expected in the
fourth quarter.
Poor's opinion that the medium and
longer term prospects of the industry
are promising is based on the following
postulates:

to expand since the trend of the busi-
ness cycle is now definitely upward
and is being spurred by the Govern
ment's spend-lend policy. The
