By GEORGE d. MANN

Los Angeles, CAL, July 2e.-Visitors
to the tenth Olympiad will wish that
Los Angeles was not some 400 miles
square and that the athletic battle
front did not stretch from Long
Beach to Pasadena. It is a long trek
from the various locale of Olympic
events, but distances are not so i'm
pressive to the Americans as to the
visitors. The athletes must be trans
ported miles every day to their train
ing centers and back again. Spec
tators who are Olympic fans or ia
natics will. after bucking traffic for
hours to see events in which they are
particularly interested. put forth al
most as much muscular effort as the
athletes themselves.
For track events there is the sta
dunn near the University of Southern
California with its imposing Grecian
torch atop the main turret. Lighted
at the opening of the games, it will
burn until the Olympiad is over. En-
larged recently and now surrounded
by formidable metal fence to keep
the mob away, it will seat some los 900
persons.
Near the stadium is the swimming
pool, surrounded by bleachers into
which some 10000 spectators can be
crowded. Both these buildings are in

pic activities.

ELY SWINGS into
n DEMOCRATIC FOLD
Numerous Republicans Study
RooseveIt's Saturday Night
Speech For Flaws

Washington, Aug. L. (AP) -
More political arguments and the
announcement that another sup
porter Of Alfred E. Smith had swung
into the Democratic fold Monday
kept alive the interest in Franklin
D. Roosevelt's latest camps & n
speech.
Numerous Republicans studied
that talk for flaws. but few COM
mented on the statement by Joseph
B. Ely, Democratic Massachusetts
governor, pledging loyalty to Roose-
welt. Ely's decision was not unex-
pected.
Democrats went ahead with their
planning, a close friend of the New
York governor-Frank c. Walker
being chosen to take over the drive
for money.
Walkers appointment as treas
urer of the Democratic national COM
mittee was announced by James A..
Farley.
Republicans also pushed their
campaign plans, Chairman Everett
Sanders of the national committee
saying in Rutland, Vermont, that
Calvin Coolidge would take part in
the effort to reflect President
Hoover. Just what the former
president would do had not been de-
cided, Sanders added.
It became known, too, that Roose-
welt will answer any Republican
charges Of radicalism with the as
sertion that federal financing of rail-
roads, currency expansion, the farm
board, and other things sponsored by
Hoover certainly are in that class.
