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. "The late Avery Brun- Established 1919 NORMAN ALLAN t.

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 tremendous blow to the lofty principles of the Awarded Certificate By GIA in Grading & Evaluation GO 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.
