Athletes al HeIsinki
By the Associated Press

HELSINKI, Aug. 2.-American
Negro athletes were boiling mad
today over reports in the leftist
European press using them as
"alibis' for Uncle Sans sweeping

One Helsinki newspaper, the
Vapaa Sana peoples Democratic
'FRONT.', said:
American Negroes, which at
home live as bad pariahs. now in
the Olympics are good for saving
medals for the American banner
. :. . We are happy about their
victories but they should do 1t
for their own part of the world
Africa"
Other papers played up the
role of American Negroes promi-
nently and referred to what they
called prosecutions of the black
man in America"
Russian papers, in detailing
American triumphs, never failed
to- emphasize those achieved by
the Negroes.
Could Send Only Indians.
''This is ridiculous said John
Henry Davis, Negro heavyweight
weightlifting champion from
Brooklyn. N. Y.
What do they mean? Do they
think Italy should get the Amer
Iican gold medal in the 100-meter
dash because Lindy Remigino was
born of Italian parents.
I IF you followed that theory, the
United States wouldn't send any
body over here but Indians"

London in 1948.
/ OF the IA gold medals won by
the United States in mems track
and field, the Negro champions
were Andy Stanfield in the 200
meter dash. Nal Whitfield in the
400, Harrison billiard in the no.

in the broad jump.
Negroes made up half the mems
