T h-e statement continued: "The NFLPA believes this ac- tion is not in the best interest of pro football. It could mean the splitting of teams and we are acting now to present such a thing from happening. "The NFLPA has called this meeting for all 26 representa- tives and other members of the ossociation at which time the entire matter of negotiations will be -thoroughly discussed as well as our immediate course of action. "We will do all within our power to resolve this dispute in accord with the wishes of all NFL players. "All players should be aware of the facts that they cannot be penalized of fined for not re- porting to camp and that their right to strike and their stand- ard player contracts are pro- tected by federal law. "We are confident that all NFL players will support% the NFLPA and we will be in touch with the players as soon as our meetings have ended here." An association spokesman es- timated that already 40 players had gathered at the meeting site. Club owners earlier yesterday, in a move obviously aimed at cracking the holdout of veteran players said that they will open their training camps to "any player wishing to report. A joint statement issued Wed- nesday by owners George Halas, president of the National Foot- ball Conference, and Lamar Hunt, president of the American Football Conference, said: "The training camps of all member clubs of the National Football League are being open- ed at 6 p.m., local time, today. to any players wishing to report and contribute to their squads' 1970 team development. "We are making this an- nouncement on behalf of the 26 clubs who believe it necessary that supervised conditioning and properly trained squads nust be developed now so the entire 1970 season can be played as sched- uled. daily sports NIGHT EDITOR: - PHIL HERTZ "On July 25th, the National Football League Players Asso- ciation publicly stated it had not called a strike. Accordingly, we expect the Association to ad- vise its members to live up to their individual playing con- tracts." "The issue here, as the Asso- ciation has been told, is econo- mic. This action is not a power move to break the Association but an essential step to properly prepare for and carry out the 1970 season. "Also, the loss of any portion of the clubs' preseason revenue must be necessarily reflected in the offer made by the owners' negotiating committee. "There is a continuing role for the Association in profes- sional football, but the econo- mic stability of the 26 teams must be preserved."

Major League Standings charges of police AMERICAN LEAGUE NATIONAL LEAGUE By BILL ALTERMAN Detroit Police Commissioner Patrick Murphy has ordered an investigation of the actions taken by Detroit police Tuesday night in quelling a disturbance in Balduck Park. Murphy took this step after several people informally charged the police with unwarranted brutality. Balduck Park has been the scene of un- rest most of the summer. After-receiving complaints from park area residents, the authorities decided last Monday to change it's closing time from 10 p.m. to 8 p.m. Since then, almost 200 people have been arrested at the park after clashing with police when they refused to leave the park at the new closing time. Tuesday's clash resulted in the arrest of 22 with six people hospitalized. Ap- proximately 200 people threw rocks and bottles at the 80 to 100 policemen. Police then smashed in the windows of a car owned by Dale Honecker, 20. The three occupants of the car, Hon- ecker, John Nash. 21, and Annie Zwolin- ski, 14, were -then reportedly beaten by police. Honecker suffered two broken shoulders, a broken arm and a leg wound which required six stitches. Nash reportedly needed 18 stitches in his head. Rick Walker was running with the crowd when he stopped and yelled to the pursuing police "I give up, I give up!" He was beaten over the head and six stitches were required. Rick Gold, who was charged with fe- lonious assault, was also reportedly beaten. Last night, disturbances broke out anew with 24 arrests. According to police, windows on five cars, including three police cruisers were smashed by "thrown missiles." Witnesses report however that one car had its windows destroyed by police nightsticks. One of those arrested last night, Has- kel Cantor, 18, was charged with felon- ious assault. He was taken to the hos- pital with unknown injuries. Earlier in the day, Assistant Prosecutor Arthur Kuscinski threw out four charges of felonious assault arising from Tues- day's incident. He also lowered two other felonious assault charges to misdemean- ers. Commenting on Tuesday's action, In- spector Teddy Sikora of the Conner Pre- cinct Police, described it as "just one of those things." He denied that anyone was injured. The police involved in the disturbances are assigned to the Tactical Mobile Unit, especially trained to handle disturbances. None of the policemen have been injured in any of the incidents up to date. M Murphy announced the investigation last night while he was addressing an -ad hoc police action group. Balduck Park is located in a predomi- nantly white part of East Detroit near Grosse Pointe. Meanwhile, in New Hartford, Conn., roving bands of black and Puerto Rican youths ranged the streets of Hartford yesterday for the second straight night, setting fires and throwing rocks and bottles at police. ' The disorders apparently stemmed brutality from Tuesday's outbreak, prompted in part by the city's not opening some fire hydrants for children's hot summer play. Yesterday's disorders were reported at their worst in the predominantly black North End section, but they also spread to other sections police said. Officers used tear gas to d i s p e r s e crowds. About 25 arrests were reported, at least seven of them on felony charges. Police said there were no reports of injuries.
