Pro Football Making Effective Case in Congressional Hearings By TOM NELSON United Press Sports Writer Washington ilfi Chairman Emanuel Celler of a House anti trust subcommittee said today professional football is making a very effective case for some exemption for anti-trust laws. The New York Democrat told a reporter witnesses who testi fied for pro football the past two days have presented a better case than did organized baseball in three weeks of earlier hear ings by the Celler subcommittee. Celler said football's witnesses. led by National Football League Commissioner Bert Bell, have Hospital Tests For Courchesne Springfield, Mass. (IP) Light weight Bobby Courchesne en tered a hospital Thursday to un dergo tests to determine if he had suffered a brain injury in a New York City fight last Mon day night.

The dive will be made by Harry Woolman as a feature event as he puts his car through a tough workout. Woolman is operator for the Chitwood west coast show. He is a stuntman from the old school which in cluded many who met their end because of miscalculation, a slip of the wheel or a small error at a critical moment.

Friday, July 28. 1SJ7 Lawmaker Fires Blast At Topping New York Ml Yankee own er Dan Topping got his knuckles rapped by a congressman today for trying to stake a gold claim in Brooklyn, and the whole mat ter seemed to be building into a baseball battle. Topping insisted Thursday that Brooklyn will become "Yankee tprrilnrv" if and u-hpn the 1 Brooklyn Dodgers move to Los Angeles meaning that no other American league team could move into Flatbush. Topping's claim was immedi ately blasted by Rep. Emanuel Celler (D-N.Y.) in Washington as "outrageous and selfish." Cel ler, chairman of the powerful House anti-trust subcommittee that is investigating whether baseball should be placed under anti-trust laws, warned that such statements "make it more diffi cult for us here in Washington to give relief" to baseball. The Yankee stand to make a lot more money next year, many observers believe, if both the Dodgers and New York Giants abandon New York City the revenue coming from in creased attendance and in creased fees for television and radio. been more than those frank and candid who testified for baseball. "Baseball took a holier-than-thou attitude and said 'You can't touch us,' " Celler said. He said he can't comment on what type of sports legislation he eventually will favor until all the testimony has been heard. But he said at least the busi ness aspects of professional team sports must be regulated under anti-trust laws. Bell and other pro football witnesses appeared this week to appeal for legislation exempting essential features of their game from anti-trust regulation. The football hearings will resume next Wednesday. Five football stars Thursday defended the draft system used by pro ball to divide the pool of new talent graduating from the nation's colleges each year. George Connor, former line man for Notre Dame and the Chicago Bears and now a Bear coach, said the system is nec essary to equalize the teams. The teams ranking lowest in the standings get first choice in the draft. new Chevrolets this year and Woolman has worked out some rugged events for both driver and car. While wrecked cars are cleared from the track, clowns of the show will appear. They are lead by String Bean, a bi cycle daredevil. As an added attraction it is planned to have a number of hardtoppers from the Rogue Val ley Racing association in a couple of races after the Chit wood thrill show.

At the end of 1956, according to Swimming Pool Age maga zine, there were about 90,000 pools in the U.S., against 2,500 in 1948. More than half the pools have been added in the past two years alone. The magazine estimated . that by the end of 1957 the nation will boast more than 135,000 pools. Don Prucss, president of In ternational Swimming Pool Corp., a leading manufacturer of pools, said sales this year have been reported in every state of the union.

He attributed the sharp in crease in swimming pools sales to such factors as the move to the suburbs, more leisure time, greater prosperity, and conveni ence. Pools come in every size, shape and price. There is even a S1.000 kit for the do-it-yourselfer. Industry spokesmen pointed out that thanks to ample financ ing, backyard swimming pools no longer are the hallmark of the rich. "These days farmers, school teachers, truck drivers and. ma chinists all are investing in their own 'swimming holes'," one offi cial said.

I had pressing debts in my home town of Freeport." On Wednesday, she said, she went to San Francisco and tried to pass the check at five banks, but had no luck. She had en dorsed it herself. Then she went to the apart ment of her sister, Mrs. Dorothy Ward, in the same building and said: "I hit Catherine over the head with a flat iron yesterday morn ing." Mrs. Ward called police. Miss Soule had been rooming with Miss Elvins for the past three months. Other tenants in the apartment said the girls had not been getting along.

These Lots Will Sell For the Next Three Months for Democrats For School Washington IW House Democrats bitterly blamed Presi dent Eisenhower todav for de feat of the Sl.500,000,000 school construction bill. House Republicans defended the President's role. But they admitted his failure to give strong support to the measure hurt its chances of passage. 1 The House killed the bill Thursday by a narrow 208-203 vote. Republicans said the close vote assured another attempt to pass the legislation next year. But Democrats said the measure is dead for a long time to come. No Senate Action Seen Even in advance of House ac tion there was no expectation the Senate would get around to the school bill this year, largely because of the long civil rights debate. Therefore, any final con gressional showdown on school construction was not expected before next year in any case. On a party basis 111 Republi cans voted to kill the bill and 77 to keep it alive. Among Democrats 126 voted to keep it alive and 97 to kill it. "I lay defeat of the bill square ly at the feet of the President," said Rep. Augustine B. Kelley (D-Pa.), chief sponsor of the com promise plan to have the federal government spend $300 million a year for the next five years on classroom construction. "The general ordered the re treat," said Rep. Edith Green (D-Ore.) . The House before killing the measure added an amendment by Rep.

"He didn't do anything as far as I can determine," Bailey said, "although as late as Wednesday I was promised a letter or state ment." Rep. Samuel K. McConnell Jr. (R-Pa.), chief Republican backer of the bill and an Eisenhower spokesman on education matters. blamed the defeat on "hard-rock opposition" by some House mem bers to all federal aid programs, the economy wave and the "lin gering argument" . left over the bill's fund distribution formula. This dispute remained to the end because of Eisenhower's reluct ance to fully support the com promise bill.
