The subcommittee noted with in
terest that players who Jumped" to
the Mexican League were suspended
first. the rule to justify their sus-
pension was written later-and later
still the suspensions were lifted de-
spite the new rule.
What do those suspensions have
to do with an antitrust inveStiga-
ton? That's an easy one for a
monopoly subcommittee to answer.
Sanctions, penalties and prohibitions,
if they become extreme, could be
considered a concerted boycott in
violation of antitrust laws

ment over territorial rights was over
shadoWing the one over the reserve
clause. In organized baseball, the
clubs operate under franchises. Nov
ing a major league franchise from
one city to another has become about
as difficult as moving the Nations
Capital to Denver.
The subcommittee brought out that
restrictions surrounding territorial
rights have frightened while the popu-
lation has spread out. The question
was whether, under straight COM
petitive set up the baseball map
would look different - whether, in
other words, this self-regulating in
dustry, in distributing its own fran
chises, was operating in what the
lawyers call restraint of trade.
Actually, however, this theoretical
point was showed under in a hot
debate on the ACCESSIBILITY of raising

status. Mr.. Prick said he would be

the West Coast. But he doubted that
the Pacific teams themselves had
any burning desire for that right now.
He said when he told the coast clubs
how much it would cost-bigger pay
rolls. bigger parks - they thought
they'd better wait awhile. Meanwhile.
he said, they could be strengthened
by special privileges that would help
them to build up better teams and
larger gate receipts.
The subcommittee wasn't entirely
satisfied. Mr.. Celler said the big
leagues would have to "reorient their
thinking" geographically, and he en-
visaged some future day when four
major leagues would be attracting
huge and enthusiastic crowds.

NEW DELHI, India.-The birth of
India and Pakistan as sovereign
nations four years ago resulted
quickly in the killing of about mil
lion people in conflict. Thousands
big countries fought an undeclared
war with air power and other mod
ern weapons in 1947-48.
Now, as they near their fourth
birthday, August Is, the Unmatched
twins spawned out Of the old British
Empire have moved a long way
toward the brink of big war. Both
are by choice members Of the Brit
ish) commonwealth of nations -
India as republic, Pakistan as a
dominion.
The finder burning toward an ex-
plosion is the princely state of Kash-
mir. India now controls most of it
and intends to keep this 10000 square
miles of Himalayan uplands, contain
ing the shrine city, Srinagar, the
stored vale of Kashmir and the
beauties of the Shalimar gardens of
the song. Pakistan intends to keep
India from getting a permanent hold
on this aesthetic and traditional
prize-and economic liability.
Moslem PakiStan argues that about
IS per cent of the Kashmiri people
are Moslems; India, largely Hindu,
but with an all-embracing govern
ment, rejects this as the invalid rea-
soning of a theocratic rule.
Never Good Neiehbors
The pork stunning Moslem and the
concentrating Hindu have found it
difficult to live side by side in peace
In the centuries since champions of
Islam from the northwest sacked the
country and forced religious CONVEX
sions on the Indians. Both religions
control the everyday lives of their
followers and their every minute
thinking. Communalism prevented
the formation of a single national
federation when the British ended
their rule in 1947. The east and west
shoulders Of the subcontinent were
staked off by the departing British
for Paklstan, in recognition of Mos
lem performance in population. The
vast lands between, on the same COM
munal majority basis, were declared
Indian. That left Pakistan a country
Of two widely separated parts with
India standing between them.
After the chaotic mass migrations
Of displaced Hindus to India and
Moslems to Pakistan, the figure of
million dead was given officially
as a conservative estimate. Not all
the displaced migrated, and con-
flicts continued.
Moreover. the whole problem was
enormously complicated by other fac
tors. There were nearly 900 Indian

An argument advanced often by
supporters of State control was the
fear that the Federal Government
intended to claim ownership of all
submerged land-both inland and
ocean bottom. 1t was predicted that
a city, built on land reclaimed from
a river or lake bottom, could be
taken over as Federal property. The
Government ridiculed this notion.
and after nearly 10 years of study,
filed suit against the three States.
The Supreme Court upheld the
United States in each case, and in
functions were issued forbidding the
States to lease any new oil conces-
sions. Those companies already
operating oil wells off shore were
permitted to continue production.
More Thon Its Due
Then California injected a new
issue. Forbidden to control the off,
shore land, the State claimed rights
over all bays and other bodies Of
water lying inside its Shoreline. On
the surface, the State appeared to
have a logical argument based on
the Governments repeated denial Ut
any intent to take over inland water
areas. However, several bays on the
California coastline are extremely
broad and under international law.
an inland water area is defined as
one whose mouth does not exceed
10 miles across from points of land.
In the case of Santa Monica Bay.
the distance is % miles, so the whole
issue headed into the courts again
where decisions are now pending.
The Walter bill. passed last Mon-
day, would give the States complete
ownership of all land in the 3-mile
off-shore limit (Texas got its 1012-
mile area). Beyond the 3-mile limit
and out to the edge of the continental
shelf, the submerged land would be
under control of the Interior Depart
ment. The States, however, would
get a 3712 per cent royalty.
In their argument for complete
Federal control, United States attor-
neys point out that only national
sovereignty is recognized in inter-
national affairs, and for the protec-
ton of these off-shore lands, the
Government must retain control.
Otherwise, they say. there would exist
the somewhat fantastic possibility
that State could lease oil rights to
a hostile foreign power
While such action is inconceivable,
there is a definite danger that the
inland oil reserves of the Nation may
be exhausted too soon. Many Gov
eminent experts feel that the off,
shore fields should be controlled and
leased by the Federal Government to
private interests for use now, while
reducing operations in the inland
fields. This, they point out, would
give the Nation a disable petroleum
supply now and in turn would con-
serve the inland fields for operation
in case future enemy action pre-
vented access to the ocean oil wells.
For the States involved, the argyll
ment appears to revolve around
financial return from royalties; for
the Nation, the situation seems to
be based primarily on long-range
defense planning.
