hand unraised in the Nazi salute,
Chancellor Adolf Hitler, of Ger
many, officially opened the 1885
Olympic Games at SIS O'Clock
this afternoon with the shortest
speech in his political career.
His words, 81 hereby declare
the games Of the eleventh Olym-
piad open, were carried to the
ears of 10000 spectators in the
gigantic Olympic Sports Stadium
by amplifiers. while radio broad
cast his salutation throughout the
world.
Rain Ends Tradition
A pelting rain shattered the Hit
Ter tradition Of clear skies when
ever he appears in public.
With Hitler were Rudolph Hess,
his Nazi party chieftain; War
Minister Won Blomberg. Lewald,
Air Minister Goering and their
respective aides.
Cannan fired a reSounding sa-
lutte and 10000 carrier pigeons
were released from boxes all over
the stadium. Then came the
olympic fanfare and the Olympic
hymn, after which Cpiridon
IouyS, winner of the first modern
Olympic Marathon in 1896 who
carried the torch on the last
stage of its journey from
Olympia. presented Hitler with
an olive branch.
AS the flags of participating
nations were raised, Ruloph
Ismayr, Germany's Olympic
weight-lifting champion, took the
sacred oath on behalf of all par
ticipants.

ing of the Olympic bells II times
to mark the number of these
games, and the parade of ath-
leteS began.
Behind Greece came Egypt
and then Afghanistan, with Ar
gntine fourth and Australia fifth.
The British Empire got a gen.
erouS hand.
Three men represented Bolivia
and Costa Rica'S team was a
one-man affair.
The Belgians removed their
hats as they went past Hitler
and the Bulgarians goosestepped.
Chile gave the Nazi salute and
China removed its hat and placed
it over the heart.
Estonia gave the Nazi salute
and Finland, with Nurmi as flag
bearer, turned eyes right.
Along the 15-mile route from
Berlin to the stadium hundreds OF
thousands lined the streets. and
in the stadium itself approximately
10000 persons gave vent to
roar Of welcome to the Fuehrer.
There was a brief furry of
excitement when the Chancellor
: and his retinue left the chancel-
lory. The huge crowd thronging
the sidewalks broke through 20,
lice cordons and for a while the
authorities were powerless. They
succeeded, however, in clearing
the Wilhelmstrasse and the pro-
cession wound its way through
the city.
Seen BY Thousands
The moment the Chancellor
stepped upon the tribune, visible
to all who packed the rows of
curving benches and the ten
thousand who fought for stand
ing room, he raised his arm in
the Nazi salute and shouted,
"EIeil."
Three thunderous "Heils" from
the mammoth crowd answered
him.
