Minor Leagues Debate Radio Impact On Attendance Drop
In Columbus Ohio on October 24 Bob Finch of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues argues radio broadcasts hurt minor league attendance by about eight million. Gordon McLendon counters that major league games aired daily in 1950 helped attendance. Commissioner Chandler and Walter Mulbry offer no comment while noting the rule on broadcasts remains unchanged. The next major league meeting in Cincinnati on November 16 may consider revisions.

Minor league broadcasts blamed for gate loss says Finch
Finch argues radio saturation hurts minor league attendance with Liberty network and Mutual’s game of the week. McLendon counters radio aids minor leagues and promises a forthcoming report to support his view. The study relies on 300 of 441 teams with limited distribution to Justice Dept and baseball officials. A broadcasting rule bars major league airings during minor league home games and vice versa.

Gas from lignite sparks new fuel possibilities
Drs Burr Holt Oppelt and Harrington explain a 18 foot high red hot steel gas bottle converting lignite with high pressure steam into water gas. The unit yields power for a town of 10 000 and the gas can become gasoline diesel fuel ammonia and more. A steam squeeze lowers water content in the coal. A gale is a 39 to 54 mph wind.
