Police said he arrived back a few minutes ater with a clock which Showed the time was only . 2:50. Now he's going on trial on charges of stealing the clock after smashing a shop Mindow to get it. before a Senate subcommittee Thursday and urged that group to junk a House-passed bill that would give sweeping anti-trust exemptions to pro fessional baseball, football, basketball and hockey. Celler said the biggest lob by he ever has seen had been mustered by the play-for-pay brigade. "They descended upon Washington like locusts," he said. "They were in every nook and cranny." Celler accused big league baseball owners of trying to become "federal lords with the right to treat their play ers like serfs" and maintain ing "a public-be-damned atti tude." He noted that many of the baseball players who testified at the committee hearing were high-priced stars and held "a sort of canine loyalty to their owners." Unfettered Control Celler asked the Senate to approve his original bill, re jected by the .House, which would make anti-trust exemp tions for professional sports pass the test of being "reason ably necessary." He protested the current measure would give a small number of private club own ers "unfettered- control over the interstate business of pro fessional team sports exhibi tions." He said House files on sports legislation hearings are "replete with instances where baseball club owners have abused their powers." Bert Bell, commissioner of the National Football League, denied professional football was against the best interests of the players and public. He said "we are convinced our practices are reasonable" and that enactment olf the House bill would save the NFL the costs of proving this in court. Professional football has not been as adamant as base ball owners in seeking blan ket exemptions from anti trust laws. However, it does desire some relief from a Su-j preme Court decision which subjects it to anti-trust stat utes.

Portland Woman Swindle Victim Portland OJPD A swindler made off with SHOO belong ing to an elderly woman, po lice reported today.
