Chicago CAMP - There were
speculations last week that Amer

Joe Foss' statement to members
of the Senate Commerce Commit
tee in Washington hearing tesh-
monies on the equal accommoda-
tons section Of President Ken
nedy's civil rights bill that segre-
cation was no problem either
among the leagues players or
spectators, will be strongly chal-
lenged.
Foss and National Football
League commissioner Pete Rozelle
and baseball Commissioner Ford
Prick testified favorably on in
tegration in their respective sports.
Frick told the committee men,
bers, which included several die
hard, segregadonist senators, that
the major leagues Of baseball are
now almost totally integrated.
One of Tricks statements also
raised speculations for criticism.
He said baseball paid price" for
Indignation with the loss Of sew
eral minor league clubs In the
South. He explained, however, that
overall, Indignation has worked
out satisfactorily for everyone con-
cerned and was achieved without
any Of the tragedies" that had
been predicted.
When Branch Hickey signed
Jackie Robinson to a Brooklyn
Dodgers contract, making him the
first Negro to knowingly enter
organized baseball, several prop
hets Of doom predicted that the
so-called experiment wouldn't work
because baseball players live toe
closely, particularly on the road.
What Frick failed to tell the
committee was that whereas base.

teams which chung fast 10 segre-

far stronger and richer because OF
the signing Of Negro players.
Such super-stars as Willie Mays
Jackie Robinson and Ernie Banks,
in the National League, and pitch

he was far advanced IN age when
the Cleveland Indians signed him
in 1913, drew millions Of dollars
and fans for the majors.
They have done 1t not by being

Foss made a point when he said,

Maybe the Nation should stand
back and look at the progress
baseball has made in its evaluation
Of civil rights and indignation.
Last week Ford Prick testified
before the Senate Commerce Com
mittee on the Kennedy Admins
tration's proposal to ban discrtm-
nation in private Accommodations
open to the public. Some members
Of the committee said the results
achieved in baseball could be
achieved without violence In vir-
tually every other area Of Amer
lean society.
Senator Phillip Hart, (Dem.,
Mich) pointed out in friendly ques-
tioning Of Prick that before the
color line in baseball was removed
many people had predicted integ-
ration would bring tragedies" on
the diamond and in the stands.
when it happened all these
fears vanished" Prick commented.
THAT is true all across life"
Hart commented. Several other
members of the committee agreed.
Frick said the Major Leagues
were totally integrated, including
travel Accommodations for players.
He said the minor leagues
were integrated as to players
and in most Accommodations but
the matter Of seating was left to
local officials.
Mr.. Prick read a letter from the
manager of the Arkansas Travel
lers of Little Rock. The letter ex-
planned how the Travellers integ-
rated when the team switched
from the old Southern Association
to the International League last
year.
The managers letter mentioned
that the hotels in Little Rock
agreed to house Negro players and
the ball park was integrated on
opening night.
There was no trouble, no commo-
ton and no complaint" Mr.. FricE
said.
And none other than such segre-
gationist as Governor Orval Eau
bus was on hand to throw out the
first ball.
Baseball has come a long way
in the years it has lowered its
racial bars. The rest Of the Nation
should take heed!

DetrO1C lamp - Last season
at Knoxville (South Atlantic

one Of the most popular players in

the loops most valuable player
honors.
Until June IT, Smith, hurting
for Syracuse in the international

Right now, Smith Is in the majors
