O WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 7. 1360 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. C Y, BO ANGE B. REYNOLDS ES FRmGHISE By NORMAN MILLER United Press International St. Louis-iUPU-Gene Autry, the cowboy star turned base ball owner, rides into Los An geles today, come hell or high water, with the grudging ap proval of "sheritf" Walter O'Malley. So instead of the threaten ed showdown at high noon, the major leagues were ex pected to settle their expan sion by means of a compro mise in which O'Malley would permit Autry to invade his rich Los Angeles territory. The American league thus would complete its 10-tcam ex pansion program and solve the most strife-ridden squab ble in baseball history. Autry. the famed radio, mo vie and TV singer, and his partner, radio executive Bob Reynolds, were granted a Los Angeles franchise Tuesday and said they were "ready to go" as the "Los Angeles An gels" in 1961. Meets With O'Malley Reynolds, 46-ycar-old for mer Stanford football tackle, met with O'Malley in secret session Tuesday night in an attempt to reach an agreement that would dispel the influ ential Los Angeles Dodger owner's last remaining objec tions to AL invasion of his backyard. Unprecedented separate league meetings, designed to resolve the final details of the compromise, were sched uled today prior to the start of the regular joint meeting of the two leagues at 11:30 a.m. (EST). No Games Televised According to a National league source, here are the concessions that were to be made to O'Malley: 1 S The AL Los Angeles team would not televise its games: it would play at 22,000-scat Wrigley Field in 1961, and then would become a Dodger tenant for at least the next three years in the $15 million Chavez ravine stadium now being built. In addition, the new club would have to pay O'Malley 5400,000 in indemnity. The reason O'Malley insists on these demands is that he wants another profitable sea son of operation in the Los Angeles Coliseum so that he can ease his financing position for the Chavez ravine project. Not all American league owners were anxious to make those concessions to O'Malley, however. Boss Bill Veeck of the Chicago White Sox repre sented a group incensed at Frick for not supporting the AL expansion program and for being too solicitous about satisfying O'Mallcy's de mands. Autry and Reynolds said that Fred Haney, former Pitts burgh Pirates and Milwaukee Braves manager, will act as director of player personnel for the new team. Haney will select Ihe players from the pool made available by the other AL clubs. Would-Be Bank Robber Holds Off Arrest Long Enough To Call Mother Los Angoles-HIPIi-''lom, I'm in California and I'm In trouble again," said Edward P. Cosgrove, 23, by long distance telephone to his mother in New Jersey. Cosgrove and an accomplice, Henry Johansky, 25, were in a bank Tuesday holding 14 employees prisoner at gunpoint. Outside were about 50 policemen and FBI agents armed with riot and tear gas guns, ordering the men to surrender, Cosgrove, realizing the game was up, forced an employee to tell him how to make the long distance call on the bank telephone so he could wish his mother in Patterson a merry Christmas and tell her "everything will be all right." Then he and Johansky laid down their guns and surrendered. They had forced their way into the Security First National Bank branch shortly before opening, but while they wasted their time futilely attempting to open the vault and cash boxes, a silent alarm summoned lawmen. "Merry Christmas," Cosgrove said to bank employees as he and Johansky were led away. They were booked on sus picion of attempted robbery.

Along with Boiling, Detroit turned over to Milwaukee a minor league player to be designated on or before March 1, 1961. Washington (UPD The Su preme Court begins hearing arguments today on Sunday "blue laws." These are state statutes harking back to colonial times which restrict retail sales on Sunday. For many years the high court shied away from at tempts to test their constitu tionality but an unusual com bination of commercial and religious interest has suc ceeded in lining up four cases for high decisions. Two are from Pennsyl vania, the others from Massa chusetts and Maryland. Jew ish merchants and a cut-rate department store chain are the contestants. The religious argument is that blue laws constitute an istablishment of religion-that is, the religion of those Chris tian sects which observe Sun day as their holy day-in vio lation of the religious freedom guarantee In the Constitution. The contention is that they Heart Attack Can Occur Without Painful Symptoms Chicago - (Science Service), tion's Archives of Internal An estimated 10 per cent of 15 per cent of heart attacks among urban, middle-aged men occur without cAising any signs of distress, four Chicago doctors reported here. Their estimate is based on three cases of heart attack found among 20 middle-aged men who did not have any distress. In a comprehensive study of 756 medical case records of a Chicago utility corpora tion s employees during four-year period 41 new cases of coronary heart dis ease of all types were diagnus ed. Of these, 20 definite cases of myocardial infarction were verified by electrocardio graph, but three, or 15 per cent, were without symptoms. A total of 756 men from 50 to 59 years of age were studied, of whom 667 had no evidence of heart disease. Drs. H. A. Lindberg, D. M. Berkson, J. Stamler and A. Poindcxtcr, all of Chicago, re ported their study in the American Medical associa- Medicine. They made the in vestigation with the coopera tion of the Chicago Board of Health, the Heart Disease Control program and the "e partment of Medicine, North western university. Painless Attacks Autopsies have previously shown "silent," painless or unsuspected cases of myo cardial infarction that have escaped detection but the phy sicians said there arc few re ports describing totally asymp tomatic cases during life. They said that routine periodic electrocardiography would uncover "a significant number of cases which would otherwise go unrecognized." This is particularly important at the present time among adult men, they reported, when effective "secondary prevention of coronary heart disease may be a real possibility." About half the American tourists traveling abroad go alone, one-third travel in fam ily groups, and the rest with friends or business associates.

Casey Stengel Still Undecided St. Louis - (UPD - Casey Stengel, the man who the new Los Angeles club wants for its manager, said today he is "undecided" whether or not he will return to baseball next year. Cowboy star Gene Autry and Bob Reynolds made it plain they would like to have the 70-year-old Stengel man age the Los Armeies team which was approved as the American league's newest member Tuesday. United Press International AMERICAN LEAGUE A tie game usually leaves both teams dissatisfied, but the Rochester Americans are happy exception today. Although the best they could do was to hold the Que bec Aces to a 3-3 tie Tuesday night, they gained a point and moved up to fifth place in the American Hockey league. WESTERN LEAGUE United Press International The Calgary Slampeders stayed on top of the Western Hockey league standings Wednesday "night bystaging a last-period rally to defeat the Edmonton Flyers 6-5. The loss dropped the Flyers to third place. In other league action Van couver stayed in second place with a 3-0 victory over Winnipeg. violate the religious freedom of such groups as Jews, Sev enth Day Adventists and Sev enth Day Baptists, who keep Saturday as the sabbath. This approach was taken by Crown Kashcr Super Market of Springfield, Mass., which won a ruling in a lower fed eral court overturning the Massachusetts blue law. This case, appealed to the high court by the Springfield chief of police, is the first one up for argument. The non-religious argument is that the blue laws discrim inate in favor of certain types of sales and certain sellers against others. For instance, the lower court noted that the Massachu setts law, which has been amended 70 times, permits digging for clams but not dredging for oysters. Although stores like Crown Market must close after 10 a.m. on Sunday, news dealers and druggists may sell milk and tobacco all day. Bakers also may stay open. i Those who favor the laws argue that the slates under their police power may decree a "day of rest" for the wel fare of all the people. The National Retail Mer chants association told the high court in a brief that if Sunday becomes "just another business day," the additional expense of keeping open sev en days a week will drive marginal retailers out of bus iness and possibly increase prices. Livestock Market Changes Suggested Salem-State departments of agriculture have some respon sibility for accelerating need ed changes In livestock mar keting work, according to a report brougt back from a national marketing service workshop by Paul Rowcll, State Department of Agricul ture. Rowell, chief of the market development division of the slate department, took pait In work groups on promotion and livestock at the Novem ber meetings. The promotion group agreed that trained in formation specialists are nec essary to marketing programs; commodity groups should fi nance information for con sumers; and producers should accept some responsibility in the movement of agricultural products from the farm to the consumer.
