American Club Owners Discuss A's Transfer
New York—(U.P.)—Owner Roy Mack is scheduled to explain the problems of his Philadelphia Athletics to his fellow American league club owners today and the group is expected to discuss the possibility of transferring the franchise to another city.
Arnold Johnson, Chicago reams who heads a group seeking to buy the Athletics and move them to Kansas City. They're meeting to explain his group's offer
According to one league spokesman, Roy Mack was expected to give his fellow club owners a full outline of the situation today—including the present financial status of the team, what the prospects are of boosting the attendance in Philadelphia, and precisely what offers have been made for the franchise.
The Athletics were close to bankruptcy on the playing field this season as they finished in last place. And, despite civic-backed efforts by the state, the team drew only slightly more than 300,-000 paid admissions for the season.
It will be the first time that the Athletics' woes, almost all of them financial, will be considered by the rest of the league assembled as a body. And the meeting comes exactly one year after a similar meeting approved the switch of the St Louis Browns to Baltimore.
Roy Mack and his brother Earle are now the principal stockholders in the club run for so many years their father, Connie. But they are reportedly split on whether or not the club should be kept in Philadelphia and the stock set-up is such that neither can sell his share without the approval of the other.
Mr. Johnson, who owns the Kansas City ball park now used by the New York Yankees' farm team in that city, was accompanied here by seven-man civic group from Kansas City.
It was considered highly unlikely that a transfer would be brought about at today's meeting. But even persons most hopeful of keeping the franchise in Philadelphia admitted that this meeting could lay the groundwork for such a transfer before the end of the year.
Before leaving Kansas City he conferred yesterday with Mayor William E. Kemp about terms under which he would lease the Kansas City ball park to a major league team and the steps that would be taken to enlarge the stadium to major league capacity.

In a resolution coinciding with the censure recommendation by the Watkins committee of the Senate, the delegates declared that Sen. McCarthy (B-Wis.) had committed him to resign in general had shown himself to be "unworthy of the American tradition."
AFL president George Meany and other top officers were re-elected by the delegates in a move considered to be an endorsement of the union's official hostility to the Republicans in Washington.

Bobby Greenlease had not lived long enough to find out that alcohol and a depraved desire for money could human beings into animals. His innocence ended that day in a few terrifying seconds before he died.
On Sept. 28, 1953, Bobby was kidnapped and murdered by a spendthrift alcoholic and his plump, doting mistress whose last big binge made an entire nation sick.

in St. Louis the last big binge ended for Hall and Mrs. Heady. They were arrested in separate hotels, confessed almost immediately and told their story to incredulous police.
Although a year has passed since
the kidnaping the case is far from closed.
Half of the $600,000 ransom money has never been found. Two St. Louis policemen, Louis Shoulders and Elmer Dolan, who arrested the kidnapers, are serving prison terms for lying about what they did with the money.
