Minor Leagues Ask Justice Dept. Aid • WASHINGTON <UP>— Top leaders of minor league baseball, turned down by Congress, today appealed to the Justice Department in a ‘‘last chance” attempt to rescue their game from death by television. The baseball officials had an appointment with. Justice Department officers and hoped to convince them to revise an anti-trust ruling against “blackouts” of major league games in their ureas. ; —• Without such blackouts, they argued, minor league baseball is doomed.--Already hurting badly from televised big league games, the minor league officials said a proposed Sunday "TV game-of-the-week” program by CBS would wipe out most of the 25 existing minor leagues and leave the rest on the verge of bankruptcy. The minor league officials, acting as a special committee, were George M. Troutman, minor league czar; Frank Shaughnessey, International League president; and Frank J. Horton, president of the Rochester', N.Y-, team of the it- - :~ They failed Tuesday to win more than the "deep sympathy” of House Judiciary Committee chairman Emanuel Celler (D-N.Y) and Rep, Kenneth B Keating ( RN.Y.>„ senior Republican on the committee. The pair ° effectively control anti - trust legislation moving through the House. But Celler and Keating refused their request to reopen the Judicial- CorjinaitteeX investigation of baseball to consider the proposed ’CBS nationwide program of a major league game every Sunday.

— — . — Cincinnati Redlegs Seek Parking Area CINCINNATI, Ohio (UP)—Redlegs owner Powell Crosley Jr. said Tuesday night he would recommend to the club’s directors that the baseball team remain here for five years if the city council will approve a proposal to buy a $2,000,000 parking area near the stadium. Crosley made the statement in a telegram from New York to Willis Gradison, chairman of a citizens ' committee, which has urged the city council to buy substandard property near Crosley Field for 2600 parking spaces. The committee’s proposal was favored by City Manager C- A. Harrell, who said he would suggest that the council pass it. . j Harrell said he could raise the necessary funds by trimmming $500,000 from city street allocations for the next two years and an equal amount from the proposed general bond issue. The growing tax duplicate should provide the remainder by i 960, he said. X. Redlegs General Manager Gabe Paul flew to New York Tuesday to present the plan to Crosley. Recently Crosley said he was for the first time in years considering moving the Redlegs out of Cincthnati unless - something was done about the poor parking facilities near the stadium.
