With Congress hoping to ad- journ next week ,and subcom- mittee chairman Eamuel Cel: ler saying he wants to “plumb the depths’’ of the merger plan, there appears little chance the House will get to act on the bill. Only the fact that a substan- tial majority of Celler’s subcom- mittee favors the bill keeps alive a faint possibility that it might still.squeeze through. If it doesn’t, NFL commissioner _ | Pete Rozelle says he will urge AFL-NFL Merger Talks Anti-Trust that the merger be cancelled.
