 There have been numerous accusations leveed against the seeming autocratc methods of the Olym- pic committee Many people believe President Avery Brundages treatment of Mrs Jarrett overzeaous and unfair. On the other hand, there those who ognize the responsibility undertaken by the committee in protecting the erests of American competition world sports. Those persons would believe that disc- pine necessarily exercised in the performance of an unpleasant duty.
 It seems strange that the action taken in Mrs. Jarrett's would not have been sufficient warn ing to other athletes expecting to take part in the various events in Berlin next week No reason other
 than the violation of training rules given in the Church-Kng decision; further publicity of such an unhappy character must have been deemed unneces- sary. strict athletic regime must be reckoned with under any circumstances but particularly when breach of any sort might lessen the fitness of candi dates for world Long hours, champagne parties and dissipation generally not aids to any teams morale
 Teamwork is one of the most important factors in maintaining high athletic standards.
