Rozelle Question on Football Merger Left Unresolved
NEW YORK UPI The issue of whether the NFL and AFL merger needs congressional approval remained open as NFL commissioner Rozelle sought a merger exemption from antitrust laws in Washington. House Judiciary Chairman Celler said the leagues do not need legislation and Congress or the Justice Department has no intent to block the merger. Rozelle said he would press for specific approval while stressing commitments to 24 franchises in 23 cities and potential expansions. Celler suggested no plans exist to consider football only antitrust legislation.

Minor changes suggested in Indy Flying Start
USAC Rules Committee proposed small tweaks for the Indianapolis 500 opener. They banned turbine powered cars from championship events and allowed work on cars while the race is halted. The panel urged a pro driver to pace the pace car at a realistic speed and the pole car to hold a steady pace, plus moving the chief steward high in the control tower for a better view. The plans follow a 16 car crash last Memorial Day that sidelined many entrants, though no injuries were reported.
