sooner or later baeeball may
have to borrow q page from pro
football II 1t hopes to satisfy
disgruntled lawmakers who are
taking Q dim view Of franchise
hop.skip-and jumping.
The thinking in some quar-
ters on Capitol Hill seems to be
that baseball needs a stay-put
regulation that will prevent
owners FROM picking up their
marbles and moving to more
profitable fields when the mood
strikes them.
There were smiles and sar-
castle comments around the
Senate Antitrust and Monopoly
subcommittee hearing table
yesterday when word reached it
that the Washington club d.
rectorS went on record to pro-
hibit further negotiating to
transfer the franchise.
There was no attempt to
conceal the irritation caused
by Sundays news that Cal
Griffith might take the team
to Minneapolis,
Senator O'Mahoney Of wy
orning was the most outspok.
en- opponent of the pending
bill which would relieve most
pro sports Of antitrust restric-
tions. He feels It would ask
Congress to give UP its power
to protect the people, fans and
players and turn over all its
power to the owners" And he,
for one, isn't willing to do 1t.
+ \ y Il
O'Mahoney made much Of
the fact that baseball had not
expanded since he was q college
student in New York when
Clark Grifnth brought the
Highlanders TO battle the en-
trenched National League
Giants. He and other Senators,
whose constituents probably
want q franchise in their town,
think 1t is time the major
leagues expanded.
When questioned about this,
Casey Stengel said he thought
expansion would come "in 10
or 20 years"
But Congressional pressure
may force the issue, and that's
where football comes into the
picture.
II the Two major leagues find
it necessary to expand and
don't want q third league, they
can add two clubs each. The
10 teams would form two divi-
sions in each league, as the Ma
tional Football League has
done, and the winners Of each
division could play a three
game title series at the end Of
the season. The survivors would
meet in the World Series.
To maintain interest it wouic
be necessary to schedule inter-
division games, which would
count in the standings as they
do in pro football. Interleague
games, now advocated by some
would be even more attractive
but that might be too radical
for baseball.
&.&&
Baseball club owners are
looking more and more envious-
ly at footballs draft system
which doesn't cost NFL teams
9 penny. Baseball has had toe
many expensive bonus ''husts'
and the owners would like to dc
away with bonuses. However
Eddie Yost yesterday told the
Senate committee the players
when asked for suggestions on
how to end this costly prac-
tice, couldn't make any.

Of competition which has been

That includes the automatic

The first step toward bolster

would be to acquire q solid

The big noise of jet trans
ports may come from taxing
not takeoffs.
Thus, a major problem looms
for airports which will be used
by the giant passenger Jets
when they come into COM
mercial operation.
This was reported today to
the AcouStical Society Of
America by physicists Laymon
| N. Miller and Robert M. Hoover
OF Bolt Beranek & Newman,
Inc, Cambridge, Mass. The
group is meeting at the Will
lard Hotel.
Their findings were based on
sound measurements during
operations of two European jet
transports, the twin-engine
French Caravelle and the four
engine British Comet. There
are no American Jet transports
now in operation. But the two
physicists noted that the
French and British jets are
smaller and have engines of
lower thrust than American
transports that will soon go in
operation.
Mr.. Miller and Mr.. Hoover
found in their tests that the
ppise from the transports was

louder when they we're being
TAXED than when they were
taking off.
For takeoffs, they reported,
the noise at a distance of 1000
feet ranged from 100 decibles
in the lowest frequency band
to about 80 decibels in the
higher bands. This was slightly
less than the taxing noise at
100 feet in the low frequency
bands and less by a greater
margin in the higher bands.
At a distance of 1000 feet,
the scientists said. the takeoff
noise was generally less than
either the idle engine or tax
noise at 100 feet.
The data from these two
aircraft show that taxi opera.
tions at 100 feet will generally
produce the highest noise lev
els outside terminal buildings
if the terminal facilities are To-
Gated more than about 1000
feet away from the runways,
the scientists said.
If the jet airliners are not
allowed to taxi closer than
about 400 feet to the terminal
buildings then the takeof noise
levels at 1000 feet would be
more comparable to the taxi
