/ HELSINKI, July 19.-The Pres
lident of the Republic of Finland
before 10000 rain-soaked spec
itators, today opened the 18th
|, Olympic Games. the biggest in
history and the first to be attend
ed by Soviet Russia.
President Juho K. Paasikivi
and two Olympic officials wore
formal clothes. the only ones to
hold to custom on this solemn,
but sodden occasion.
| As the band played the presi-
dental salute the trio walked
down the line of the International
Olympic Committee, shaking
hands in the downpour.
Only about half of the Olympic
lofflcials even bothered to wear
|raincoats. The Finnish Olympic
Committee stuck to its gray suits.
Despite the rain, which started
about an hour before the games
opened, the stands were practi-
cally full. Only one side of the
modernistic stadium is covered.
Olympic Slogans Flashed.
After greeting the Olympic Of
flcials, Paasikivi took his seat in
the Presidents box.
The parade of the 5,870 athletes
from 50 nations taking part in
the games followed the alphabeti-
cal order in Finnish, except that
Greece. as always, came first.
Finland came last as the home
team.
This brought the Netherlands
Antilles next after Greece. fol-
lowed by Argentina. Russia,

entered the arena. Norman C..

just behind him, leading the
American delegation, was Avery

dent. They did not dip the flag,
for traditionally the flag of the
