Olympic movement. It
would ba an admission
that sports cannot be
held aloof from politics.
It would be vengeful and
jingoistic, and it might
signal the end of the
Olympic Games as we
know them. These are
only a few of the reasons
why I am in favor of a
boycott.
"I do not assume that a
boycott will Ialter the game
plan of a single Soviet tank
in Southwest Asia. I am also
aware of the sacrifices that
will be forced on the
athletes who have trained
so hard for this summer's
Games. But a boycott looks
like the only logical option
we've got.
"To participate in the
Games would be to
legitimize a propaganda
charade and to help divert
the world's attention from
the reality of Soviet aggres-
sion. And although it will be
inconvenient for our
athletes to seek new places
in which to run and jump for
glory, their problems tend
to pale next to those of
people dying in various cor-
ners of Afghanistan .. .
"The lesson of history is
compelling. In 1936, the
Olympic movement faced a
problem somewhat larger
than amateur purity or rule
enforcement. It was Called
Nazism.
"Three years before the
Berlin Olympics, Jews
had been excluded from
German sports clubs. By
1935, the Nuremberg
Laws deprived ,Jews of
their citizenship and pro-
tection under German
law.
"In response, U.S.
Olympic officials were
content to extract prom-
ises of token Jewish par-
ticipation on the German
team.

Pete Axthelm, Newsweek
magazine sports editor, in
an article entitled "Boycott
the Olympics" in the Jan. 21
Newsweek, states in part:
"A United States
boycott of the Moscow
Olympics would be a

dage toured Germany in
1934 and pronounced
himself impressed; Brig.
Gen. Charles Sherrill,
an American on the In-
Olympic
ternational
rejected
Committee,
boycott proposals by U.S.
Jews on the ground 'that
it would be overplaying
the Jewish hand in
America as it was over-
played in Germany be-
fore the present suppres-
sion.'
"As a result of this kind
of reasoning, the Berlin
Games went on as
scheduled. The best ac-
count of them, Richard D.
Mandell's book 'The Nazi
Olympics,' is recom-
mended for some chilling
reading.
"His conclusion: Hitler
used the Games, the
athletes and the benigh-
ted Olympic officials to
stir his Aryan followers
to new heights of frenzied
and evil patriotism.
"The propaganda circus of
Berlin stood for decades as
the darkest episode on
Olympic history. Then it
was almost matched in
1972, when Arab terrorists
used Munich as a stage for
the murder of Israelis —
and Brundage, never one to
be mellowed by his mis-
takes, obscenely insisted,
'The Games must go on.' "
The Soviet Union's top
sports newspaper this week
accused President Carter of
p'olitical blackmail in
threatening to boycott the
Olympics. The paper said
Carter met with a powerful
rebuff, citing the state-
ments of athletes and sports
officials in Asia, Africa,
Western Europe and the
U.S.
Over the weekend, a New
England cable television
sports network polled its
subscribers on whether the
U.S. should stay out of the
Moscow Olympics. Some 69
percent of the 6,000 people
-who responded backed an
Olympic boycott in response
to the Soviet invasion of Af-
ghanistan.
U.S. Secretary of State
Cyrus Vance said Wed-
nesday that the U.S. will
have to make a decision
on a U.S. boycott by
mid-February. Vance
said U.S. participation in
the 1936 Berlin Olympics
was a mistake and said
the U.S. should not par-
ticipate in the Moscow
Games if Soviet troops
remain in Afghanistan.
The Israel Olympic
Committee has not yet de-
cided on whether to take a
stand on the proposed
boycott.
Yitzhak Offek, the com-
mittee's chairman, said th-+
Israel was in a delicate posi-
tion since its very participa-
tion in the Olympics was in
danger. The Soviet Union
and East European coun-
tries have in the past sought
to exclude Israel from Euro-
pean events on the grounds
of security problems.
Meanwhile, Amnesty In-
ternational last week re-
ported that the Soviet
Union has arrested 40
human rights activists in
the past three months.
