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

among the entries. Only two
other former 100 winners tee
off in the 1958 tournament
Ted Kroll (1952) and Arnold

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.

By ELDON BARRETT
United Press International
Seattle (UPI) Midsum
mer madness, brought on by
the deafening roar of mon
strous hydroplanes, is about
to engulf the minds of every
person living in Seattle and
its environs.
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.

Irgens Moller explained.
Gets Wide Emphasis
Forest genetics work is get

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 is in cooperation with
U. ,S. forest service research
