McLendon Contends
Baseball Never Lifted
Curbs on Broadcasts

Gordon McLendon, the radio
network executive from Texas
who has been staging a running
feud with organized baseball for
several years, claims baseball still
is restricting radio broadcasts al
though a rule permitting such re-
strictions has been repealed.
I.'The rule never has gone out. !"
McLendon told a Senate Inter-
state Commerce subcommittee
yesterday. Its repeal was a
sham" He said the Detroit Ti-
gers and Chicago White Sox had
worked out territorial agree
ments about radio and television.
and saw to it they didn't conflict.
Senator johnson, Democrat. Of
Colorado, the subcommittee
chairman, replied that McLen-
don's charge was news to me"
He has introduced a bill to make
such baseball radio and tele-
vision restrictions legal, and yes
terday's session was another of a
series of hearings on the Johnson
bill.
Pending Suit Delayed.
McLendon and his attorney
testified for three hours yester-
day, and the session was marked
by charges and countercharges.
The Texas broadcaster has a
$12 million suit pending against
13 major league clubs, charging
monopolistic practices forced his
Liberty Network out of business.
That suit, filed in Chicago in
February last year, yesterday
was set back for trial until next
January. Attorneys told the
Chicago court that neither side
had completed gathering its ma
terial.
Yesterday, McLendon told the
subcommittee that the charge
made by baseball for his "game
Of the day" broadcasts rose from
$1,000 IN 1948 to 1925, 900 in
1851, and that in 1852 the majofs
wouldn't sell at any price.
Br0adcaSts Lifted.
McLendon revealed that now
the Knickerbocker Network in
Texas, of which he is an execu-
tive. has an agent in New York
who tunes in baseball broadcasts
and then relays the information
to Texas. There the game is
recreated and broadcast. He
said Texas court ruled >such
practice was legal. but Sen
ator johnson called it a fraud
on the public"
A. B. Happy) Chandler, for
mer Senator from Kentucky who
was baseball commissioner for
six years, backed the johnson
bill and questioned McLendon's
right to get the information with
which he recreated games
Chandler said that he always
had thought the baseball rule re-
stricting broadcasts was legal,
but that baseball modified the
rule in the face of Justice De-
partment threats to file anti
trust charges.

Andy Gibson, the smooth

One of the best non-fictional books
of 1852 is the big Change" by Fred
Allen, editor of Harper's (Harper\ &
Bros, Publishers, New York, $4,000.
1t is a sketch Of events in the United
States from 1900 to 1851. The brilliant
author does not criticise so harshly
as he might the Truman Administra-
ton for starting the unconstitutional
war in Korea Con the advice of Dulles
to be President Eisenhowers Secretary
of State.) In fact there may be in his
mind the idea that the shedding of our
gallant. boys blood in Korea to save
our artificial economy, may have value
akin to the shedding of the blood of
our Savior for the redemption of hui
manity. Yet otherwise, the book is in
structive. 1t intrigues the reader from
cover to cover.

methods by which Roosevelt rid us of

olies."
The Federal restraint of the finan-
ciers is now to be turned back to the
financiers.
2. HE lacked up the prices the farm
ers got for their products and guar
anteed future prices of grains and live

industrial accident claims in the year
which ended June 80, 1852, this is
not sufficient. Under the Industrial
Accident Board exists the Bureau of
Safety. For the same period, the
two general safety inspectors made
inspections of only 4,553 of the
states 1O,773 concerns now under
workmen's compensation. The Indus
trial Accident Board requested APP
preparations sufficient to employ four
safety inspectors. (See Voice, Dec.
10, 1882.
In addition to the safety inspectors
and the chairman of the board, there
are employed many other people who
are vitality necessary to carry on the
functions of the Industrial Accident
Board. Also, much expense is in
volved in hearings, travel expense,
supplies, attorney fees, etc, which
will consume a considerable portion
of the $90,660 in a short time.
This year the legislature will i'm
prove the workmen's compensation
act to include occupational diseases
and raise benefits which are now in
adequate. That being the case, more
funds than ever will be necessary to
handle these added responsibilities.
Labor has definitely shown that
they want a better workmen's COM
pensation law. Labor has also shown
that they want more services from
the Industrial Accident Board than
they are presently getting. 1t must
be recognized that labor will en-
deavor to support their proposed OBJ
jectives for the board and amend
ments to the law. In addition labor
should be willing to see that the leg
stature does appropriate an amount
lose to the $4S0,104 which was re-
Iuested by the board. Without funds,
avs are practically imperative and
therefore are rendered ineffective.
Again, urge all labor to inn
mediately contact their respective
senators and representatives.. Let
them know that these requested APP
preparations are essential and vital
to the interests of the working
people of Montana.

Appeals For kilograms To
Save Rosenbergs

A mother and father of two small
boys, who from the time of their ar
rest have proclaimed their innocence
are today sitting in Sing Sings dealt
row awaiting execution.
Ethel and Julius Rosenberg were
convicted of giving secrets" of the
atom bomb to the Soviet Union.
The governments entire case against
the Rosenberg's rested on the uncor-
reiterated testimony of David Green
glass, EthePs brother.
He testified that he stole the Sec
rets of the atomb bomb and passed
them on to the Rosenberg's. Although
he had no scientific training or ex-
perience he says he memorized the
bombs infinite complications by over
hearing bits of conversation as he
worked as a mechanic at the Los Ala
mos project. Because of this, he testi-
fled that six years later relying en-
tirely on memory he was able to draw
a detailed plan of an atom bomb which
he supplemented with twelve pages
of handwriting which allegedly des-
cribed its operation.
This has been called unbelievable by
many of the worlds leading scientists
Dr. Harold C. Urey, atom bomb scien-
fist and former member of the faculty
at the Montana State University, dur
ing Congressional hearing in 1916
testified:
Detailed data on the atomic bomb
would require SO to 80 volumes of
close print which only a scientist or
engineer would be able to read. Any
spies capable of picking up this in
formation would get information more
rapidly by staying at home and working
in their own laboratories
The defense attorney has brought
out evidence that the A-bomb secrets

all, but available to any scientist who

David Greenglass admitted he was
an enemy of Julius Rosenberg and that |
he faced a death sentence unless he |
could take the guilt from himself and |
place it on someone else.
Whether one believes the Rosenbergs
% be guilty or not, the extreme pen
Atty of death can be seen as completely /
alien to all of the moral tenets of JUS
