Mundt Bill To Fight Moves
Washington Senator Karl Mundt said he is drafting an amendment to keep club owners from thumbing their noses at the public in franchise shifts. He urged executives of professional teams to assume responsibilities to the public and the public interest when moving from city to city. Mundt spoke against plans to move the Senators base ball team from Washington and said owners should reconsider obligations. He maintains sponsorship of a broader anti trust exemption bill for professional sports while opposing special treatment for baseball clubs for private profit. Senate opponents pressed for witnesses to explain a proposed shift to Minneapolis and expected Cal Griffith to testify.
