Major Leagues Are Warned By Sen. Johnson WASHINGTON UP — Sen. Edwin C. Johnson warned baseball’s big leagues today congress won’t stand for them “destroying” mipor leagues by nationwide telecasts. The Colorado Democrat, who ir president of th% Western League, indicated a proposed game-of-the week program by the DuMont TV network would be d bean-ball pitch to bush league box offices. “It costs a lot of money to put. on a baseball game, and baseball charges less than any other form df entertainment. But the minors han’t meet free competition,” he. told newsmen. \ 4 1 ' Johnson supported all baseball, including the major leagues, when It was under attack in 1951 by he house monopoly Investigating subcommittee headed by Rep. Emanuel Celler D-N. Y, “I told the Celler committee baseball was not a monopoly, it was all one big, happy family,’ Johnson said. “But now, if' the majors are Agoing to inject themselves into eVery minor league ball park in the. country. I’ll testify we made, a mistake. “I told the baseball writers at a dinner in New York Feb. 1 I would testify before the courts and the congress that the majors were a cruel and heartless monopoly motivated by avarice and greed,” Johnson recalled. . “That’s no idle threat. If they go out and televise major league baseball into every minor league club, that’s exactly what I’ll do." Johnson would not discuss what legislation he might introduce if the majors proceed with their TV plans, but said chances are good congress would pass it. “I ddn’t believe congress Wants to see baseball destroyed,”' he said. “Regulations should come from the industry itself. Congress is the last resort — and not a very at-

tractive resort/ either. “But if baseball won’t protect itself, we’ll have to go to congress for relief." \ Costello, Two Reds Are Denied Paroles WASHINGTON UP — The federal parole board today denied pleas for paroles by New York gambler Frank Costello and two ■jlailed Communist leaders-Benja-min J. | pavis Jr., and Irving Potash. ■ / 4 4 Costello is serving a prispn term for contempt of Congress! Davis, former New York city councilman, and Potash, were among the 11 Communist leaders convicted in 1949 of conspiracy to advocate and teach \the overthrow of the government.
