probably would lose his job or be

Without rancor. Mr.. Horning
told of playing game in Sioux

arrival in night game. Over
night bus rides. he explained,

On the other hand, Mr.. Horning

for playing baseball he would

Reserve Clause Attacked.
He frankly admitted he was no
major league prospect when he
was made a free agent in 1916,
but he is still playing baseball
with clubs outside of organized
baseball in the summertime. He
explained that he was skipping
this summer to prepare for for
eign service exams.
Mr.. Horning took issue with
the argument made by the other
witnesses that the reserve clause
was necessary for keeping the rich
clubs from getting all the best
players. He said the rich clubs
have most of the best players
because they can pay the
highest bonuses to players en-
tering the game. can pay the
highest salaries to talent scouts
and can pay more for contracts.

players are sitting on the benches

Overseas Press Club
Offers Six Steps for
Freedom Of 0atis
by The Associated Press

NEW YORK, Aug. THE
overseas Press Club of America
announced today it had urged
President Truman to take strong
-etion" to obtain the release of
Associated Press Correspondent
William N. Oats. sentenced to
10 years in CzechoSlovakia for al
legged spying.
The club, composed of 750 ac-
tive and former foreign CORES
pondents, proposed six possible
courses to be taken, one after
another, until they produce re-
suits. They are:
/. Severing diplomatic relations
with Czechoslovakia.
2. Breaking off trade relations
with Czechoslovakia.
3. Sealing off the West German
Czechoslovak border road and
railway traffic.
4. An absolute ban against entry
into the United States of all per-
sons of Czechoslovak nationality.
S. Cancellation of visas of all
Czechoslovak persons in the United
States under the auspices or per-
mission of the present Czecho-
slovak government, and their de-
portation from the country.
6. Freezing of all CzechoSlovak
assets of every kind in the United
States.
"The record of contemporary
history suggests that the only kind
of action that is comprehensive
to Communist governments is &C
ton that will deprive them of
something they need, or injure
them in no less degree than they
injure u.s." the club told the Presi-
dent.
The club declared further:
The trial of Mr.. Oats was a
travesty of justice. His convic-
ton for legitimate newspaper re-
porting sets a precedent which
endangers the safety and life of
every American correspondent
abroad. We feel that danger will
grow proportionately unless our
Government takes concrete action
to obtain the deliverance of Mr..
Oats from his unjustified impris-
onment."

he dio not believe there was any
question about it.
From an earlier witness today
the subcommittee drew different
picture of the farm system. the
reserve clause" and the attitude
of at least one minor league ball
player.
The witness, Ross C. Horning
now a graduate student in foreign
affairs at George Washington Uni
versity. told the subcommittee that
minor clubs get into the farm sys-
tenn to get players. but once they
are in they lose all control over
the players whose salaries they pay
Mr.. Horning was the first ball
player to testify and he told the
subcommittee that he doubted
any active ballplayers would testi-
fy against the reserve clause"
for fear of losing their bread
and butter.
Long Bus Rides Cited.
The average ball fan, Mr.. Horn
ing said, thinks Of baseball in
terms of the major leagues, huge
salaries, beautiful ballparks, fine
hotels and streamlined trains but

university was compelled to use
some of its income from dormi-
tories, dining halls and auxiliary
enterprises to make up the diff
Iferential between the actual cost
of educating the veterans and the

ceived from VA. Even after the

Blasts at GAO Report.
Moreover" DR.. Byrd declared
"the fact that the University of
Maryland was able to work out a
more favorable plan of more
equitable payments by the Vet
erans' Administration does not
mean that such increased pay
ments were used to build a chapel,
stadium or anything else. 1t only
meant that the VA would pay a
larger share of the cost of edu-
eating veteran students than it
had heretofore paid"
President Byrd ended his testi-
mony with this blast at the GAO
report:
When payments by the VA are
confined solely to what it can
legally and Justly pay, what the
University of Maryland does with
any surplus it may have in any
year is the business of the Board
of Regents of the university and
of the State and not of GAO"
