MrFORB&TRIBUNl Owners, Gridders Agree on Philadelphia - (UPD - It isn't often that a sports of ficial can please both the club owners and the players in money matters, but that's just what National Football League Commissioner Bert Bell has done.

Cascade high lakes and coastal streams - those flow ing west from the Coast range do not open until May 30. The commission ad vised anglers to read care fully their synopsis when in doubt. Benefits benefit plan as an answer to the Players association de mand for pensions. It was a vexing problem which met a cool reception from the own ers for three years. The play ers were insistent. Deftly Skirted The benefit plan - Bell skirted the word "pension" as deftly as any end runner proved such a hit with both sides that the owners adopted it unanimously at a special league meeting Thursday. The players took all of one minute to decide they'd take it, with thanks. ' And the beauty of it all was - it doesn't cost the own ers anything, and the players don't have to contribute a nickel themselves. The Bell plan, to become operative this fall and to grant a monthly pension to players with five years or more league service at the age of 65, first gives the players hospital, medical and life in surance policies. The financing of the plan will come from the league's championship games, in creased television payments beginning in 1961, and half a dozen more money-raising plans stretched over the years.
