Senate Begins Talks On Use of RFK Stadium

Former baseball owner and Suffolk Downs administrator Bill Veeck told a Senate subcommittee yesterday that the major league All-Star baseball game should be played annually in Washington's Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium.

Veeck, the first witness in re-opened hearings on the stadium, explained that the All-Star game is by nature a national event with national interest and since RFK Stadium is a national facility, it should be used for the only baseball game that is national in scope He also described himself as "a hustler."
