Celler pointed out that some claim
the reserve clause is essential to
keep more successful clubs from
buying up all the good players
while others say the rich clubs
usually win the pennants because
their farm systems produce the
best talent.
Some say free competition for
players would ruin competition on
the diamond" Mr.. Celler ex-
planned. Others say it is the
only way to give the standings a
complete reshuffle."
He said the problem is of great
Importance because of suits now
pending against organized base
ball, which charge that baseball
is in interstate commerce and
therefore subject to Federal and
antitrust laws.
If baseball is in interstate COM
merce. Mr.. Celler said, Congress
must decide whether present laws
are sufficient to meet the prob
lens presented by the rules of
baseball or whether further legis-
lation is required to bring organ
lied ball under the antitrust laws
or to exempt it from those laws.

Senator Byrd said the Navy has
indicated that the 1928 million

''It has not been publicly an
nounced but am advised by high
naval authorities that there is rea-
son to expect that Americas new

craft carrier-will be built here
at Newport News at a cost Of 1928
million" the Senator said in q
speech before an Armed Forces
Day banquet.
"As now approved the new car
rier will cost $40 million more
than the carrier Cancelled two
years ago, and much of this is a
clear loss due to the inflationary
price rise which has occurred since
then"
Senator Byrd criticized former
Secretary of Defense Johnson's
cancellation of the super" car
rier as a tragic error"

Big-league baseball stars. as
well as the minor r-league players
will be asked to air their views
during the forthcoming congress
sional investigation of baseball.
This was indicated yesterday by
Representative Celler, Democrat.
of New York, who heads the
House subcommittee checking on
the power of monopolies.
Focal point of the upcoming in
vestigation is the so-called re
serve clause" which ties ball
player to a single club as long as
that club wants his services.
"Our witnesses are definitely
pot going to be limited to repre-
sentatives Of the owners of the
big-league clubs or of any other
one group" Mr.. Celler declared.
"Our study indicates that the
reserve clause affects different
segments of this game in different
ways" he added. For example
the attitude of a big league sta1
may be entirely different from
the attitude of a minor league
player"

u. n. Council Orders
Israel 10 Halt Swamp
Drainage al Border
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, May 10. The
United Nations Security Council
has ordered Israel to halt work on
the Huleh swamp area in the
Syria Israel demilitarized border
zone until a peaceful agreement is
negotiated.
The council vote was 100 with
Russia abstaining, after a lengthy
session late yesterday in which
1srael's Abba Eban vehemently
protested the step and then COL
lapsed.
Mr.. Eban was stricken with
nervous exhaustion and limped
from the council chamber at
Flushing Meadow before the vote
was taken. He collapsed in cor
ridor but a doctor said the Israel
Ambassador to the United States
would recover with rest. Both Mr..
Eban and Faris Ell Khoury. Syrian
delegate, were at the council table
as guests of the council.
The vote came on what Mr..
Eban noted was the third ami
versary of an Arab invasion of
Israel.
Sponsored by u. S.
The resolution was sponsored by
Britain, France, the United States
and Turkey. 1t empowers the
Syria Israel Mixed Armistice Com
mission to work out an arrange
ment toecontinue the Jordan VAL
ley drainage project, which sew
eral delegates emphasized was a
worthwhile health project.
Mr.. Eban said the resolution
would allow Syria to halt the prof.
ect forever by withholding agree
ment. The U. NJ, he said. would
be the guardian of a swamp.
But Britain's Sir Gladwyn Jebb
said that if no agreement isl
reached soon, Israel could appeal
through armistice channels and
even to the Council itself for a
new decision.
