NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-A mild
rally spread through the stock
market today. Nearly all sec
tons of the list participated.
Trading was fairly active.
Selling to establish tax losses
again was in evidence: a number
OF issues selling around their
lows for the year had trouble
maintaining even fractional
gains.
Better-acting groups included
the steels, motors. rubbers, air
crafts. coppers, chemicals and
rails.
Brokers said they were not

day

was narrowly mixed. but United

tinued to rise.

Bell Testi1fies Today
After Myers Calls Suit
Death Threat 10 NFL
BY ths Assoeiafed Press

ey me ASSoelote0 FfoSS
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. IS. =
Commissioner Bert Bell Of the
{: National Football League was
expected to take the stand today
in the Governments antitrust
suit against the loop.
His appearance was awaited
after one defense attorney,
Francis j. Myers, former Sena-
tor from Pennsylvania, said
Government victory would mean
the death knell of pro football"
Myers, one of seven NFL law
yers. opened the defense in Fed
eral Court yesterday after a 10
day recess. He accused the JUS
tice Department of being a "be-
nevolent despot" after Judge AL
Ian K. Grim turned down a Sec
ond plea to dismiss the case.
The NFL asked for dismissal
on the basis of the recent United
States Sixth Circuit Court deci-
sion ruling that baseball is not
a business and is not engaged
in interstate commerce. Attorney
Bernard Nordlinger claimed the
same immunity for professional
football. Judge Grim denied the
motion, merely saying he wished
to hear the entire case before
making a decision.
.. Boycott Charged.
According to the Government,
the NFL radio and television
policy is a boycott of stations,
denies the public opportunity to
hear broadcasts and to see tele-
casts Of certain games, and re-
strains trade and commerce.
The Government is attempt
ing, Myers charged, to extend it's
''paternal protection sufficiently
far as to guarantee to every one
of our 160 million citizens a free
seat at every one of our football
games, a free seat mind you, even
though the granting of that free
seat might empty our ball parks,
bankrupt our clubs and thus
eventually assure those 100 mil
lion Americans a Western movie
rather than a football game"
Under the present league
policy as many people hear and
see telecasts Of league games as
Is permitted by the circum-
stances of the league operation" 4"
Myers said. IF the Government
is successful in the present suit
no one will see telecasts and no
one will hear broadcasts of pro-
feSsional football.
Calls CurbS Reasonable.
Restrictive provisions of the
NILS radio and TV policy are
reasonable, Myers said, because
OF the necessity of protecting
good will of team in it's home
territory and to build up local in
tereSt. He added that the re-
StrlctionS were necessary also be-
cause no responsible sponsor
would buy radio and TV rights
without them.
The league cannot live with
unrestricted radio and TV.
Myers said. and the former SEN
ator quoted figures.
He said the Los Angeles Rams
televised no home games in home
territory in 1949, and that the
average gate receipts per home
game amounted to more than
$4,000. In 1850, he told the
court, Los Angeles televised six
nome games with an average
ticket sale per game of $41.781
In 1850. Myers continued, Los
Angeles did not televise two of
It's home games in it's home terri
tory and the average ticket sale
Tor those two games was $177-
939. This represents a differ
ence Of $136,157 over the receipt
per home game televised," he
said. I'm 1851, Los Angeles
averaged $105, 900 per home game
with no TV in it's home area
rs miles from the scene of the
game"
