Expect Salary Freeze to Thaw
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3 (UP)— Baseball players’ salaries are frozen just like almost everyone else's, an official of the wage stabilization board said today, but he added he expécts them to be thawed out soon. > “With the contract - signing season on us, many players are signing for larger salaries,”. the official pointed out. “In effect, they're not paying any attention to the wage freeze.” The official said the board was studying baseball players’ exact status under the law, but the problem is regarded as a Joiner one because only about 500¢ players are involved. At some point in .the fairly near future, the official expects the WSB to announce formally exemption of most pro athletes— including football and basketball players as well—who have an employe status. The board is authorized to make exemptions for categories of employes whose wages have no impact on the defense mobilization effort.
