ENTRY LIMITS IN OLYMPICS
Suggestion Bv Committee
(N .Z.P. A.-Reuter—Copyright)
CHICAGO, May 9.
The president of the International Olympic Committee (Mr Avery Brundage), said today it was not his suggestion that limits be imposed on the number of athletes competing in the Olympic Games. “It came from the committee.” he said. Mr Brundage was commenting on criticism by the vice-chairman of the Soviet Olympic Committee (Mikhail Peslyak) of “curtailers” of the Games. Mr Brundage said that a large majority of delegates approved a resolution in 1957 that they should study the 1960 Olympics and be prepared to discuss the subject of reducing the size and expense of the Games. Meetings would be held next month in Greece with all the sports federations and all the national Olympic committees, and the subject would be on the agenda for discussion at all these meetings.
