(he MS-stadon network, announced
over the air Thursday night that
LBS was forced to go off the air
peting broadcasts.
"I charge that organized base-
ball violates the bill of rights, free
speech, the anti-trust laws, and is
at war with free enterprise,” the
young network executive said.
Filed $12 Million Suit
The network, founded in 1947,
was silenced at 9:45 p.m. Thurs-
day. The final program was 30
minutes of organ music.
McLendon, who started Liberty
at Dallas, Tex., with a handful of
stations, filed $12 million in dam-
age suits early this year against
13 major league ball clubs, charg-
ing them with monopoly and con-
spiracy. The suits contended that
the club owners wrongfully refused
lo let LBS broadcast their games.
In Dallas a spokesman for the
network said Liberty could not con-
tinue broadcasting without carry-
ing daily major league games.
“We are not going into bank-
ruptcy. but we are suspending op-
erations,” he said. "To tell the
truth, we are running out of mon-
ey. This network was founded on
baseball and without baseball it
can't operate.”
Used Sound Recordings
McLendon began the Liberty net-
work in Dallas by “re-creating”
baseball games from telegraphic
reports, using recorded sound ef-
fects to give the impression that
broadcasts were originating from
the ball parks. As the network
grew, it began carrying play-by-
play accounts of games direct
from the parks, and other types
of programs were added to its
schedule. At its peak, a total of 458
radio stations were members.
SCT. GENERAL - Sgt. l/c
Russell K. Haight, of Denver,
Colo., now a military police
platoon commander in Frank-
furt, Germany, recalls days when
he wore uniform of a brigadier-
general in the Kashmirian army,
^ in 1948 during Kashmir’s war
for independence. Haight, who
served in the U. S. Army from
194T to 1946, returned to the
U. S. and re-enlisted in the
Army when advised he would
lose his citizenship if he contin-
ued fighting for a foreign power.

Tye Air Base Is
Tentatively OK
WASHINGTON (IP) — The House
Armed Services committee is ap-
proving almost without change Air
Force plans to build and expand
its bases.
The committee has been consid-
ering behind closed doors a $3,-
027,752,000 base building program
of the Air Force, Army and Navy.
All actions are tentative until the
committee finally approves the
whole program. The program then
goes to the House and, later, to
the Senate, for approval. Thursday
the committee okayed Strategic
Air Command projects which in-
cluded Tye Field, Abilene, Tex.,
$32,273,000.
U. S. Highway 80
Gets Improvement
Extensive improvements on U. S.
Highway 80 across the state of
Lcuisiana from Shreveport to
Vicksburg are projected, accord-
ing to word received here by the
Board of City Development high-
way committee.
This important road, the only
through road across northern Louis-
iana, has been a bottleneck in a
sense in the transcontinental high-
way and the improvements will
have much valuable to the traffic
route.
CONVICTION UPHELD
ALBUQUERQUE, N. M. (IP)—The
circuit court of appeals in Denver
has upheld the conviction of James
Edward Van Huss on charges
growing out of a huge multi-state
auto theft ring.
Van Huss, a Brownwood, Tex.,
resident, was sentenced to five
years in prison by Federal Judge
Carl A Hatch. He operated an auto
wrecking yard in the Texas town
and furnished members of the ring
with titles from junked cars for
use on their stolen vehicles.
