Jo Definite Word
' Qnfygene Burns
- Baghdad, Iraq d'PD The
United States Embassy said to
O there was still no definite
word about three Americans
who were taken from a Bagh
dad hotel by Iraqi, soldiers
during the July 14 revolt. The
Americans were never seen
again. '
The three including Eu
gene Burns, of Sausalito,
Calif., and George Alcock
were caught in the first hectic
hours of the revolution and
were believed killed by mobs,
along with three Jordanians,
a German and a Swiss na
tional. The soldiers entered the
Baghdad Hotel, which had
opened only two weeks ear-
G. lier, and led the Jordanians
out. The Americans and the
others were in the lobby and
wee asked to accompany the
group.
They did, believing they
would be checked at the police
station and then released. Ac
cording to one version of what
happened, the mob seized the
Americans and others some
where between the hotel and
military headquarters.
Oregon Wheat Said

wheat is preferred in India.
A fcur-member delegation

f ROVED HIS POINT
London lUPB Harry Pick
les got tossed out of a tavern
here when the hand of the
pub's clock reached 3 p.m.
closing time. Police said he

Showed the time was only

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.
Police Seek
Frank Carbo
New York (OPD Police in
15 states were on the lookout
today for Frankie Carbo, the
reputed underworld "Mr. Big"
of profesisonal boxing who
has been indicted by a New
York grand jury, on charges

The loss boosted the total
amount lost by three women

he was new to the city and
was afraid of not being able
to get money which he said
he had out of the bank,

Police said the man gave

Faubus Appeals
To End Injunction

Court to toss out a 1957 in
junction ending his use of Na
tional Guard troops in the Lit
tle Rock school integration
dispute.

"amounted to action against
the State of Arkansas" by
questioning his rights as the

Japan Concerned
By Military Action
Honolulu (UPD Koichiro
Asakai, Japan's Ambassador
to the United States, said
Thursday that U.S. military
intervention in Lebanon has
caused "apprehension" in
Japan.
Asakai said the cause for
apprehension might be based
on two points:
First, that we abhor mili
tary operations of any kind,
and second that the U.S. atti
tude might create a situation
that all of us are "anxious to
avoid: It might drive the Arab
nations into the other side
(closer ties with Russia).
Asakai said Japan had sided
with the United States in the
United Nations because "it is
still our fundamental policy
to cooperate with the United
States." ,'
