Picked by Experts
New York -flJTO- The Chi

but the Los Angeles Dodgers
will be dethroned by the San
Francisco Giants.
That's the forecast for the
two I960 pennant races made
by the United Press Interna
tional's 50-man board of base
ball experts. The board is com
posed of United Press Interna
tional Sports Editor Leo H.
Peterson and UPI baseball
writer Milton Richman in ad
dition to 48 writers, three
from each city in the leagues,
who saw the teams in spring
training.

Sherry Set
As Starter
Wednesday
By FRED DOWN
United Press International
The Los Angeles Dodgers
cleared the decks for the open
ing of the National league sea
son today with World Series
hero Larry Sherry, the great
"finisher" of 1959, slated for
duty as a starter.
The 24-year-old right-hand
er was listed as a possible
starter against the Chicago
Cubs on Wednesday after a
final tune-up Sunday in which
he allowed one run and one
hit in three innings against
the San Francisco Giants. A
crowd of 10,139 at Sacramen
to saw the world champions
complete their exhibition cam
paign with an 8-4 victory over
the Giants.
Manager Walt Alston, who
promised Sherry he would get
a chance to start if he had a
strong spring, indicated the
big right-hander had won his
battle. Sherry, who won two
games and saved two others
in the World Series after corn
oiling a 7-2 record over the
second half of the 1959 sea
son, argued that his career
would be shortened if he was
used primarily as a relief
pitcher.
Moon, Larker Had
Wally Moon hit two doubles
and Norm Larker drove in
two runs to lead a 13-hit at
tack that brought the Dodgers
their 12th win in 22 exhibi
tion games. The Giants finish
ed their Grapefruit League
season with a 13-13 record.
The St. Louis Cardinals
completed one of their most
successsful spring seasons in
history with a 5-2 victory over
the Chicago Cubs that gave
them an 18-8 Grapefruit
mark. Ernie Brogllo limited
the Cubs to one run and five
hits in seven innings.

do feel, however, that there
will be more clubs in the
pennant race until the closing
stages of the season than last
year. I also feel the pennant
might be won in 1960 with
fewer victories than the rec
ord low of 88 wiUi which the
Dodgers won in 1959.
"A study of annual at
tendance figures provides
positive evidence of the con
tinued growth of the popu
larity and appeal of major
league baseball," Giles con
tinued. "Prior to 1946, the
National League never drew
as many as 6-million in one
season and not since 1946 has
our attendance been less than
6-million. The National league
has drawn more than 9-mil-lion

Top Condition
"All American league clubs
will be in top condition by
opening day and a tremen

pect, said Cronin. ' M any
brilliant newcomers will take
their places alongside the
familiar American League
veterans and the several play
ers who battled to stardom
during the memorable 1959
season.
"To attempt a prediction of
the 1960 pennant race seems
truly fool - hardy," Cronin
went on. "Several clubs are

Public Disaster
Map Received by
Local Chamber
Copies of a public disaster
map from the Consulting En
gineers Association of Oregon
have been received by Med
ford City Manager Robert A.
Duff and Don McNeil, man
ager of the Medford Chamber
of Commerce.
The consulting engineers
some months ago set up a pub
lic disaster committee, to be
called upon in case tragedy
should strike an Oregon com
munity. The map has divided
Oregon into disaster districts
with the name and telephone
number of a disaster contact
engineer. Medford is in a dis
trict headed by W. J. Mar
quess, Medford, telephone
SPring 2-7115.
The association, composed
of enginers in private prac
tice, suggested to Medford of
ficials that copies of the map
be kept available. In case of
disaster, the general proced
ure should be for a Medford
official to call the district dis
aster contact engineer.
May Be Designated
He, in turn, will notify the
president of the Consulting
Engineers Association of Ore
gon or an officer he may have
designated. The disaster con
tact engineer will then go to
the scene of the disaster.
Meanwhile, the association
will assign additional consult
ing engineers to the stricken
area, depending upon the
types of specialists needed.
Consulting engineers are spe
cialists in engineering works,
such as water systems, sewers,
roads and highways, electrical
and mechanical equipment of
buildings and electrical power
distribution systems. These
are the types of installations
which are often destroyed
first in a disaster, the associa
tion noted.
The consulting engineers'
public disaster committee was
formed following experiences
at the Roseburg explosion last
August, when engineers had
an opportunity to discharge
their professional responsibil
ity in such cases to the public
at large. Consulting engineers,
on a volunteer basis, exam
ined the wrecked structures
and advised Roseburg city of
ficials which buildings and
facilities could be used imme
diately. The volunteer work
drew warm praise from Rose
burg city officials.

Bill To Give Free TV Time
To Politicians Has Trouble
By A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune Washington
Correspondent
Washington (Special)
Sen. Warren G. Magnuson ID
Wash.) is running into heavy
opposition from the television
industry to his
bill that would
in effect pro
vide for week
ly debates by
the two presi
dential candi
dates on TV
this fall.
The bill
would imple-

A. KodL Smith .
advanced recently by Adlai
Stevenson for giving each par
ty's presidential nominee a
weekly half hour of free net
work television time in which
to give full expression to his
views on the issues confront
ing the nation.
The TV networks them
selves have not protested di
rectly to Magunson about the
proposal. But many TV sta
t i o n s have communicated
their opposition. Magnuson
said it looks like the networks
have stimuated local stations
into expressing unfavorable
views to members of Congress
from the states in which they
are located.
Hearings Planned
Magnuson is going ahead
with the legislation, however.
His committee. Senate Inter
state Commerce, has tenta
tively scheduled hearings for
after the Easter recess. The
Washington state senator said
he hopes to have Stevenson as
the lead-off witness, along
with any other former presi
dential candidates who might
enlighten the committee and
the country about the burden
of conducting a nationwide
campaign.
Magnuson has already had
a conference with the nation
al chairman of both parties,
Paul Butler for the Demo
crats and Sen. Thruston Mor
ton for the Republicans. He
said they have both agreed to
the free TV idea.
Stevenson advanced the
idea as a partial solution to
the growing high cost of po
litical campaigns. He main
tained that brief appearances
on TV and radio for the sake
Tiros Discovers
Full Hurricane
Washington-IUPl) - Tiros I,
America's seeing eye satellite,
has discovered a fully-develop
ed hurricane or typhoon east
of Australia.
Dr. F. W. Reichelderfer,
chief of the U.S. Weather Bu
reau, said Sunday night the
discovery "gives hope that
with future weather satellite
camera systems" man will be
able to obtain advance warn
ings about tornadoes.
The bureau said that its
scientists at Ft. Monmouth,
N. J., received pictures of the
hurricane Sunday morning. It
said the storm was placed
about 800 miles east of Bris
bane.
Reichelderfer sent a tele
gram to Dr. L. J. Dyer, direct
or of the Australian meteoro
logical bureau, notifying him
about the hurricane.
Confidence Men
Charge for Census
Los Angeles - (UPD - Confi
dence men are trying to col
lect $10 from unsuspecting
residents as a fee for taking
census reports.
C. W. Baker, of the regional
office of the U. S. Census
Bureau, said the con men are
following real census takers
around. Shortly after a census
count has been taken, the con
men rap on a homeowner's
door, and say, "your census
has just been taken and I'm
here to collect the $10 fee."
So far no one has paid up
as far as Is known, Baker said.

lip
of economy result in over
simplified speechmaking for
the sake of necessary brevity.
The TV industry is object
ing on financial grounds chief
ly. Although the networks
haven't officially given their
view to Magnuson, CBS Vice
President Richard Salant re
cently said in a speech that
this proposal would cost the
Industry $8 million in TV
time that could be sold to
commercial sponsors.
This estimate is doubtless
based on the requirement in
Magnuson's bill that the time
allotted to the candidates
shall be "in prime viewing
hours." which means after
dinner as a rule. During the
eight weeks preceding the
election, the networks would
be required to provide a one
hour program, equally divid
ed between the two candl
dates "without intervening
commercial material." The
night of the week would be
up to the industry, but the
final program would have to
be presented Monday night
before election day.
At Candidates' Expense
The only other political
candidates who would benefit
by this bill would be the vice
presidential running mates.
They could, if their party
wished, utilize no more than
two of the half-hour segments
allotted to their party.
The bill provides that in
cases where the program
could not be carried simulta
neously with its broadcast
presumably in Instances of
stations that are not affiliated
with a network, "any ex
penses incurred in recording
and distributing such simul
taneous broadcast for later
use shall be borne by the can
didates."
The power to enforce the
provisions of the bill would
come under the authority of
the federal communciations
commission to observe each
station's compliance when
considering renewal of broad
cast licenses.

Some station operators have
protested that it seems to be
"open season" on TV broad

wrote to Magnuson that "it
seems we must be punished
for our sins" by giving "a gift
to the politicians." He esti
mated it would cost his sta
tion $6000 or more in gift
time.
Other Free Time Seen
Others are fearful free TV
time for presidential candi
dates will lend in turn to the
same provision for congres
sional and local candidates for
office. Another argument
from the TV industry is that
there is no similar require

Magnuson isn't impressed
with this latter argument. He
points out that TV stations re
ceive a free grant from the
federal government of the
right to broadcast on assigned
frequencies which no competi
tor can then use. Anyone with
the capital can start up a com
peting newspaper or maga
zine, but no amount of capi
tal will permit a new competi
tor to enter the TV Industry
If all the frequencies have
been granted to others In ad
vance, he observed.
With industry opposing the
bill, despite bipartisan sup
port for it, it will be nip and
tuck if the Magnuson bill can
get through both houses be

let the big campaign begin.
