Baseball Investigators Did Comprehensive Job-Frick NEW YORK, N. Y., May 23 UP. Baseball commissioner Ford Prick admitted today that the House Monopoly Committee did a "comprehensive job" investigating the sport, but pointed out its report is so long a hurried analysis cannot be made. "It is a report that must be studied in detail before baseball people can draw definite conclusions," Prick said in a prepared statement released by his office. The Celler Committee, headed by Rep. Emanuel Celler D., N.Y., concluded its 10 months investigation yesterday by voting to reject any legislation which would make baseball exempt from the Federal anti-trust laws. "It is not to be expected that baseball people will agree 100 per cent with the findings of the committee," Frick said "but I cam assure the public that basebal has a keen awareness of the problems discussed in the report, and that every effori will be made to solve those problems."
