Senate Committee
 Urges CAB To Reassess Approach To Air Transport
InSinuateS Board Is SubServient To Big Certified AirlineS

WASHINGTON, (P) - A con- gressional committee urged in a report disclosed Saturday that the Civil Aeronautics Board reassess it's entire approach to air trans port. It insinuated the board is Subservient to the big, certified air lines.
 The report compiled by the Sen ate Small Business Committee, said the CAB might also study the use of subsidies for the big lines which have provided only an "al- most luxury-type service"
 The findings are a result of a CAB order last March 2, limiting the 250-odd nOn-scheduled lines to three flights a month over major traffic segments and eight flights between all other points.
 The non-scheduled lines said that order would drive most of them out of passenger business. But any, more regularized flights would put the nGnSkeds into fly ing regular routes, contrary to CAB law, the CAB argued.
 The committee said it believed the proposed ruling would be a death sentence for irregular air carriers, which, it added, had made a major contribution to air transport and ''have mana ged to survive since 1948 in spite of con- stant harassment."

Game Is q Business for Profit
Enough Evidence Uncovered in Baseball Probe to Begin
Prosecution Under the Federal Anti-Tr Laws
David Lowrenee:

Enough evidence has been un-
covered before the House Judi
ciary Committee for the Justice
Department to begin at once
prosecution Of the organized
baseball leagues as violators of
the Federal antitrust laws.
1t has been clearly shown that
a few men, engaged in business
for profit. not only control the
supply of good players and their
opportunities for employment,
but that they control also the
number of leagues and the
grades of teams that the people
in various sections of the coun-
try are permitted to see.
Millions Of dollars are in
vested annually in the league
business. dividends are paid to
stockholders as in other lines of
business, and there is a lively
trade in the sale of broadcast
ing and television rights, which
in turn are commercialized
through advertising sponsor
ships.
Once upon a time. in the old
days Of horse and buggy SIM
plicity when a pants presser
wasn't engaged in interstate
commerce" the Supreme Court
of the United States ruled that
baseball was a sport and not a
business. That was many years
ago before the justices ap-
pointed by the New Deal began
to reverse the precedents. In
the old days, too, the Supreme
Court said insurance wasn't a
business either, but the Su-
preme Court of today says it is.
The life and fire insurance
companies have been trying
without success to get Congress
to pass a law exempting them
from the operations of the anti
trust laws.
Congress isn't in the mood to
grant exemptions. About the

plays his anger by vicious snaps

Captive, the musk turtle is rather
shy and like the swapping turtle
takes advantage of hiding places
or dark corners in the tank. They
must be given rocks on which to
climb to obtain breath of fresh
air, otherwise they become ex-
Ihausted and drown. Musk turtles
can manage to swim to the top for
a bit of fresh air easier than pond
or river turtles. Still, they are
happier if they can scramble over
something on which they can bask
and blink.
Outside of observing them, they
are not especially interesting. You
cannot make pet of one. He will
swim rather quickly to you for a
bit of lettuce or food, but will spray
your hand with the soap-defying
musk if you lift him out Of the

his sharp jaws come down on your
finger. He has none of the friendly
attitude of our old garden friend

extreme south.
To identify one species from an
other you should notice the head
The common musk turtle wears

the tip of the snout to the neck
One stripe passes over the eye; the
