GERMAN GREETING.
KEENLY DEBATED.
Seeming "Razz" of Yankees
May Have Been PIaudits
of Own Rooters.
BY GAYLE TALBOT.
Associated Press Sports Writer

~ ERLIN, August IA debate
- over whether the American
delegation received the Ger
IL man equivalent of the Bronx
cheer" shortly after passing Chancellor
Hitler in the parade of the nations,
opening the eleventh Olympiad, shook
the press section as the athletes left
the Olympic Stadium today.
Dozens of groups argued the ques-
tion of whether the outburst Of whis-
ting in the "right-field" bleachers was
meant the way it sounded in German
ears. The American marchers, thank
fully, we're blissfully ignorant of the
fact that whistling is the Germans
favorite method of expressing disap-
proval.
Nazi officials paled when the first
birdlike notes Smote their ears, but If
Uncle Sans athletes heard the short
lived demonstration they probably
thought they were being given an extra
big hand.
At that, there still Is a question
whether the whistling emanated from
Germans, possibly disgruntled because
the American standard-bearer, Alfred
Jochim Of Union City, N. j., failed to
dip the American flag, or from enthu-
siastic American spectators Of whom
there were several thousand.

LMDBERGHS IN DARK
Spurn Honor Seats at olympics,
but See Inaugural.

BERLIN, August P).-Col. Charles
A. Lindbergh and Mrs. Lindbergh
were obscure figures among the 105,-
600 spectators who attended the open
ing of the eleventh Olympic games
today. They planned it that way.
The Lindberghs had honor guest
seats, but didn't sit with the high hats
In the honor tribune, nor did their
names appear on the honor lists. They
occupied cozy corner near the honor
tribune, reserved for them at the colo
nel's request.
After the ceremonies the Lindberghs
went away unrecognized. His Ameri-
can host denied, however, that Lind
bergh slipped through the Olympic
gantlet with disguise.
The Lindberghs leave tomorrow for
Copenhagen.

Opinions Are Divided.

A SCORE of American, British and
"A and German newspaper men, as
well as spectators, were asked their
opinion and were about evenly divided
on the delicate question.
One leading German journalist was
positive the warbling was of the barbed
variety, but said: You must excuse
them, because they don't understand
Americas rule that its flag must not be
dipped"
Still another school clung to the be-
lief that the whistling section, which
included several hundred Brown
Shirts" did not like the fact that the
Americans redonned their straw hats
while the band was playing the Horst
Vessel song in greeting the German
contingent, which brought up the rear
Of the parade.
The Americans apparently were un-
aware that Germany now has two ma
tional anthems and evidently thought
they had done their full duty by
Deutschland Uber Allies"
Eleanor Holm jarrett, swimming
star who was disbarred by the Amer
ican Olympic Committee of violating
training rules, was certain the band
had struck up the deafening German
hymns with intent to drown out any
demonstration the crowd might have
given the Americans.
They were just starting to yell for
our team" she said, when the music
threw them all out of step"

Nv evoked among onlookers as
nearly half Of the delegations, num-

Nazi salute with right arms extended
appraised in contrast with "eyes right"
given by most of the remaining pa

The United States was one of four
nations not dipping their flags, the
others being Bulgaria. Iceland and
India, which did not manifest a
salute of any kind while passing Hit
lers reviewing stand. Great Britain
was among 81 nations giving "eyes
right" but her dominions were by
no means in agreement as to just what
was the proper thing for the cere-
monial sporting occasion.
Canada and Bermuda delighted the
crowd, giving their idea of the Na1
salute, as well as dipping their flags,
but other representatives of the far
flung British Empire were much less
demonstrative. New zealanders, for
example, doffed their hats, while
Australians gave "eyes right"
The Greeks, with S. Louys, Olympic
marathon winner of 1896, in the line
up, set the Nazi saluting pace, but the

GITTING in the press section, Mrs.

the American flag passed She jerked
away angrily, however. when a French
cameraman attempted to snap her.
Generally rated the snappiest look
ing group in the parade were the
Belgians. They were attired all in
gray and wore straw hats. Canada
would have placed high up on the
list except for the fact that one lone
member Of the contingent lost his
crimson jacket.
Equally conspicuous was one tired
Uruguayan who squatted on his
launches throughout the ceremony.
The Swiss not only dipped their
official banner while passing the
Fuehrer, but carried along an expert
fag-waver who tossed an extra stand
