the minors were In a period of

Trautman said at a press con-

only 40 clubs but still control
the same number of players.
Maybe the majors have
spread their talent a little too
thin in the minors. If the only
idea Of the minors is to channel
talent to the majors. we are too
widespread. I know where we
want to come out--we want to
preserve our structure.
"A major league scout is in

the player a potential major
leaguer?' There are plenty OF
good ball players who would
make fine minor league players
but do not have major league
potential.
Some think we have toe

dropped to 80 from an all-timt

1t reported that IS per cent of
the wreckage was recovered.
The Inflated plane, a four
engine Constellation of Air India,
was en- route from Hong Kong to
Indonesia at the time of the
crash.
The Red Chinese officials and
other passengers were going to
the Asian African conference at
Bandung. The three persons
rescued were all Indians - two
crewmen and another employe
of the airline.
Communist China accused the
Nationalist Chinese and "Ameri-
can Imperialists" Of plotting the
planes destruction to sabotage
the Bandung meeting. Peiping
also charged British authorities
in Hong Kong with negligence,
saying they had been warned
of an alleged sabotage plot. The
United States, British and Ma
tionalist Chinese governments
denied the charges.
There was no immediate COM
ment from Peiping today on the
Indonesian findings.
The Hong Kong government
said if it is proved that the bomb
was placed aboard the plane
there, "the government is deter
mined to do all in its power to
bring those responsible to JUS
tice."
