House-Passed Anti-Trust Exemption Questioned by Senate Sub-Committee By JOHN A. GOLDSMITH United Press International Washington (UPI) The lenate sports bill,- treed from tie whirlwind oi casey Stengel's syntax, today en countered more serious prob lems which could jeopardize its legislative future. I Members of the Senate anti-monopoly subcommittee f voiced doubts about the J House-passed anti-trust ex I emption. Their comments raised the prospect oof sub stantial changes in the bill and resulting delays. Delays could be fatal to measure despite the 45 sena tors who have joined in spon soring it. Most members of the House and Senate hope to wind up the congressional session in about a month Stengel's discursive ramb- lings were the big story Wed nesday as the subcommittee launied hearings on the bill. The New York Yankee man ager won some kind oi con gressional Oscar for his double-talking performance But the reaction of sub committee members to his re marks, and those of other baseball greats who testified, was not one to brings joy to sponsors of the bill. Kefauver Worried Chairr&an Estes Kefauver (D-1fenn.) said several features of the House bill "worry me considerably." He specified the bill's complete waiver and anti-trust laws of federal reg ulation oi broadcasting and telecasting of sports events Sen. Sfeseph C. O'Mahoney (D-Wyo.) said he would not suppffrt the bill in its present ofym. He expressed special interest in testimony by major player representatives that they swltcBed their sup port from a rtilder exemp tion bill after talks with their employers and witfr Baseball Commissioner Ford Frick. That Qtatement-by Amer ican League player repre sentative Ed Yost of the Washington Senators and by Robin Roberts of the Phila delphia , tPhililes, .National League representative to gether with the testimony of other baseball stars also drew some pointed questions from Sens. William Langer (R N.D.) and John A. Carroll (D-Colo.). Back Up Owners Bost Yost and Roberts went down the line for the House-passed bill which would give broad -anti-trust exemptions to team sports baseball, football, basketball and hockey. Both spoke up for baseball as It is with farm systems, player drafts and reserve clauses to bind players' forever to' the team Insurance City Open Gets Underway Today Wethersfield, Conn. (UPI) A field of 125 of the world's top professional golfers tee off today in quest of the $25,000 prize money in the seventh annual Insurance City Open at the Wethersfield Gountry club. Last year's champion; Gard ner Dickinson Jr., was not among the entries. Only two other former 100 winners tee off in the 1958 tournament Ted Kroll (1952) and Arnold Palmer (1956). Palmer, the 1958 Masters champion, is the top money winner in the nation so far this year. WORLD'S CHAMPIONSHIP ?4 ' , Approved PCCHA k L Approved which holds their contracts. Roberts quite frankly testi fied the players want the basebal club owners to have whatever powers they want in the anti-trust field. Similar endorsements for baseball's status quo also came from three of the game's top sluggers Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox, Stan SOTA Slates Drag Races at West CW Drag races sponsored by the Southern Oregon Timing asso ciation will be held Sunday, July 13, on the SOTA drag strip located on Drag Strip rd. in West Camp White. Time trials will open at 9 a.m. and no entries will be ac cepted after 12 noon, club of ficials report. Eliminations are scheduled for the after noon. Officials expect a record turnout of drivers to be on hand striving to brek the strip record and collect the $75 Savings bond that SOTA has posted on the strip record for this week's competition. A winning driver will have to gun his car faster than the present record of 134.24 mph to claim the reward.

Women's Open Begins Today in Minneapolis Minneapolis (UPI) The American Women's Open, a brand new turn on the female golf tour, gets underway at Brookview Country club to day with Mickey Wright and Patty Berg heading a field that included all the top play ers in the business. Miss Wright, who this sea son captured tne. u.s. . wo men's Open and the Ladies PGA. was rated the "gal to beat" in the 72-hole tourna ment over BrookView's 6,282 yard par 76 layout. Others entered were Ben Hanson, Louise Suggs, Kathy Cornelius, Betsy Rawlj and Fay Crocker. Research J ticist and research leader, pointed out. aoday, it is re cognized that there are great variations within the species and that seed from one region may not be suited for use in a nother depending on climate, and other environmental fac tors. Looking ahead, forest gene ticists see tremendous poten tial for improvement of trees, he continued. Rate of survival, growth jate, and wood quality all can likely be made better by applying the principles of plant breeding that have brought such spectacular ad vances in farm crops, Irgens- Moller believes. 'Applied Research' Before such a program of "applied research" can get underway, however, a vast a mount of basic research' must be done on Douglas fir and other spcies, he said. The new OSC study on variation in Douglas fir is designed to pro vide some of that information, Irgens-Moller continued. The project is supported by a $12,400 three year grant from the National Scienae Foundation. It will involve collection of seeds from individual trees throughout the entire growth range of Douglas fir, includ ing Oregon, Washington, Bri tish . Columbia, Idaho, Mon tana, Wyoming, California, and Colorado. Special atten tion will be given to variations in growing conditions north and south slopes, high and low j elevations, and coastal and continental habitats. Climatic Data Collection areas will be sought near stations so that climatic data will be avail able. Samples of plants from each source will be planted in the college's McDonald for est, giving OSC the largest single collection of Douglas fir - types for later breeding work.

This phenomenan " can be predicted accurately because it has happened every sum mer since 1950 when the late Stan Sayres and his unlimited class speedboat, Slo-Mo-Shun IV, brought the Gold Cup here from Detroit. Even persons who have no use for hydroplanes are af flicted. They can't help them, selves. They are in the same position as bridegroom sitting down to his wife's first culin ary effort. He may not like it but he's got to take it. " Symptoms Increasing Already there are signs the madness is beginning to take hold. The brain-washing be gan with the Apple Cup Race a few weeks ago on Lake Che lan in Central Washington. It increased when the Seattle boat, Miss Thriftway, won the Detroit Memorial and it multi plied during the first Diamond Cup Race on Northern Idaho's Lake Coeur d'AJene.

Hel ton reported that play will continue throughout the day and a large number of en tries, are anticipated. There fore it is imperative that all golfers planning to take part in the event sign up at the Pro shop no later than July 15. Program Project arpai uHl h nlanterl also in the greenhouse and plants will be exposed to various periods of light to note differences be tween the types in their re sponse. Future studies may re veal certain correlations be tween the response to light and other characteristics af fecting survival and growth, Irgens Moller explained. Gets Wide Emphasis Forest genetics work is get ting wide emphasis through out the nation and world, he St noted. Considerable work has been done with Southern pine and European countries with their intensive forestry meth ods have been concentrating on developing better trees for decades. The day when the good trees are cut and the poor ones left to serve as re-seed ers will soon be gone forever, Irgens-Moller pointed out. Em phasis today is on quality. Special "seed orchards" that are used ash'e source of high quality tree seed are finding increasing use, Irgens-Moller said, and will be an essential part of forestry of the future. Irgens-Moller, originally from Denmark, started work on the project two years ago as part of his doctor's degree study program. That work was financed by two $4,000 grants from the Forest Genetics Re search if oundation. His re search is in cooperation with U. ,S. forest service research staff members located on the OSC campus.

But these are only prelimin ary attributions to this mass madness that will reach a fan atical stage the first week of August during the qualifying iriais ior the Gold Cup. The entire city will go completely nuts on the day of the race it self, Aug. 10. The Gold Cup is the Ken tucky Derby, th. Indiananolis '500', the World Series of speedboat racing. Women Affected At least a half-million crazy, mixed-up fans will crowd the perimeter of the Lake Wash ington course thousands on boats and countless more on the beaches -to watch this classic which invariably has its climax at the start. This madness,, which speed boat aficionados proudly diag nose as "Gold Cup fever," re sults in small boys and girls, too, for that matter, knowing the intricate differences be tween an Allison G-6 and a Rolls-Royce 2250. Housewives gossip about quill shafts and gear box ratios. And men, big grown men, will stand for hours just to get a glimpse of champion driver Bill Muncey, a transplanted -Detroiter who came west with the tide, of hydroplane enthusiasm..

One bartender here has in vented a new drink called a "rooster-tail," guaranteed to send you flying as high as the plume of water that spurts out from behind a speedboat going 200-miles-an-hour.
