Major League Baseball players reject a 1 million dollar pension offer as inadequate and outrageous. Marvin Miller, MPAA executive director, denounces the proposal while noting it would not raise player benefits and would fund the pension only through expanded revenue streams. He says TV income must be shared and that the offer could derail 1969 contracts without a higher pension contribution.
