Both the American and National leagues are expected to finish their separate business parleys and then get together in joint session with Commissioner Ford Frick to act l*>n various items on the agenda. (JJfiginally, the joint meeting was booked for Wednesday, but the magnates indicated they have just about concluded their necessary discussions and are ready to act on the measures. This includes a vote on whether or not to retain the present controversial bonus rule, a number of resolutions, players' requests and legislation passed by the minors at »:heir convention last week. That the majors will “do nothing” on TV and once again turn down the minors-passed resolution calling for curbs on radio and tel- | evision broadcasts Into minor league territory was strongly indij cated Monday by Frick, himself. ; The commissioner said the just--1 ice depar;ment thwarted a bid by ' baseball to bring about a test cast in the Supreme court on broadcasting restrictions. Frick said the majors want a decision or “a set of ground rules." ‘They (the justice department) tell you what you can't do, but they won’t tell you what you can do,” the commissioner complained. Among the TV items up for disctMiop before the owners was the ■proposal of Brooklyn Dodger President Walter O’Malley for pay-as-you-see television. This is one of those legal “hot potatoes” the owners have been trying to avoid. A survey released by Frick last night showed that approximately 40 per cent of the fans quesiioned wouldn’t mind a reasonable charge for watching baseball on TV. The present bonus rule — which requires a club to keep bonus players on its roster for two years-is likely to stand. The minors turned down .three proposals to change the rule. Apparently headed for defeat are proposals for “free trade” days in July and August and one which would permit the scheduling of exhibition games the day before and the day after the all-star game. Under the free trade resolution, clubs would have a 24-hour period in July and August in which to make an iir.ra-league deal that didn’t involve waivers. Presently the trading deadline is midnight June 15, after which only waive) deals can be made. MEMO Io the BOSS! Need some Christmas remembrances for your employees?

Honus Wagner Diesel Home In Pittsburgh PITTSBURGH, Pa. (INS) — John Peter (Honus) Wagner, the greatest shortstop in baseball history and one of the game’s finest 1 hitters, died today at the age of 81. I Death came to the bowlegged, I ham-handed Wagner shortly before i 1 a.m. at his home in Carnegie, I just outside Pittsburgh, the city I where he made hi* name a* one of i baseball's immortal*. Wagner had been in poor health * for the past few years, but two months ago he fell and injured > himself. Since then he*had been confined to his bed. ’ He was unable to acknowledge the stacks of card* extending best wishes for his recovery from thous- , ends of admirers and friends in the ’ baseball world. Wagner was famous as a player ' with the Pittsburgh Pirates long before the current generation of fans was born. But he was known to them as a baseball legend and ’ because of his service as a coach. One look at his bowlegs and huge hands, and the picture stayed in the memory despite the passage > of time. ; Wagner put in 21 seasons as a I major league player and departed ; in 1917 —at the age of 43—with an i armful of National League records L and a slender bankroll. He drew , his top salary—6lo,ooo—with the I Pirates in 1908. i He always said philosophically I that the money went farther in his . day because he didn’t have to pay ( income tax. At 53 he was still playing sandlot ball in Pittsburgh. > In 1933 he rejoined the Pirates ; as a coach and became a big gate I attraction during spring training and at Forbes Field for the next ( 16 years. I Curiously enough, the youngster l who became the game’s greatest l shortstop broke into the big time * in 1897 as an outfielder with LouisI ville which was then a member of i the 12-team National League. Louisville bought Honus from I Paterson, N.J.. for $2,200 on the recommendation of the late Ed Barrow, general manager of the i Paterson club who later became a ; famous New York Yankee execui tlve. Barrow always contended i that Wagner was the greatest , baseball player he had ever seen, r When the Louisville franchise was shifted to Pittsburgh in 1900, Wagner moved from the outfield to shortstop. His lifetime fielding average was .946 with 799 error* in 14,794 chances. His batting average for the big league career was .329. He hit above .300 for 17 i seasons. Wagner was called the “Flying i Dutchman” because of his ancestry and his fleetness. During hi* i career he stole more than 700 , bases.

Churchill Suggests Red Visit Cancelled Questions Wisdom Os Visit By Reds LONDON (INS) — British reaction to Sir Winston Churchill's suggestion that a scheduled visit to England by Soviet leaders be reconsidered was highlighted today by one newspaper which said, “Let them come ... we don’t give a damn." Another newspaper however agreed with Churchill in questioning the wisdom of permitting Soviet premier Nikolai Bulganin and party boss Nikita Khrushchev to visit Britain next spring. Churchill said Monday night in speech at Woodford that the British government “will no doubt study carefully” the reports of the current visit to India and Burma by the Russians “before they allow’ it. with suitable variants, to be repeated here.” The Soviet leaders in their four through the east, always sensitive to the qeustion of former colonial rule, have hammered away on the topic of colonialism, linking it with the western powers. Khrushchev said the British regard the Burmese as “savages" and have "sat on their necks.”

The Indiana committee, headed , by Dr. Groesbeck, is expected to ' ask the national institutes of health for permission to expand the ages eligible to obtain the vaccine up to 21 years from the present one to 10. Expectant mothers also are eligible now.

Broady Testifies In Wire-Tapping Case Lawyer-Detective Denies Indictment NEW YORK (INS) — Ambassador to Italy Clare Boothe Luce, international intrigue and a striptease artist have entered into the wiretap trial of John G. Broady. - Mrs. Luce hired the lawyer and private eye to see if her phone was being tapped, Broady testified Monday. He said he reported to his “client” that an "unauthorized” tap was being made in January, 1953. The 52-year-old detectlve-for-hlre said he never performed an illegal tap and denied categorically the 17-count indictment charging he engaged in an illegal wire-tapping conspiracy. Broady told an all-male blue-rib-bon jury in general sessions court that he rented two apartments on the east side under an assumed name when he was hired by Nationalsit China to track down $7 million believed stolen by a Chinese air force officer. Strip teaser Ann Corio was mentioned when Broady, picturing himself as Dan Cupid, said he tried to prove Miss Corio was “cheating” on William Nicholls so that Nicholls might return to his wife and their "marriage would be saved.” Cumberland Gap was discovered in 1674 by Gabriel Arthur. ?
