Raped by Tug Wilson

CHICAGO, Aug. 3 (R.-Avery
Brundage. president of the In
ternational Olympic Committee
has promised a statement by
Sunday explaining the anti-prc
pledge for Olympic contestants
which left athletes and some
officials bewildered.
Word of the newly contrived
controversial pledge which de-
Imands an athlete must swear he

intends to remain an amateur
came Wednesday out of Aus
tralia where it received wide
publicity.
News of the statement immed-
lately brought a very firm
protest from K. L. (Tug) Will
son, president of the United
States Olympic Association, and
various response from Olympic
contestants.
Some of the athletes shrugged
it off with a 80 what" attitude
while others felt they could not
sign.
Brundage Preparing Statement
The new rule requires all
entries in the 1856 Olympics tc
sign the following pledge:
Il, the undersigned, declare on
my honor that I am and intend
to remain an amateur and fulfill
the conditions stipulated by the
Olympic rules"
Brundage, a staunch supporter
of pure amateurism, refused tc
discuss the pledge, saying he is
preparing a statement on the
subject. However. Brundage die
say all entries must sign the
pledge or they cannot compete
Wilson met with Brundage
yesterday and said, Il registered
a firm protest with the execu-
tive committee of the IOC
against enforcement of the rule
stating 1 believed that further
study should be given to all the
effects of its enforcement"
Wilson said Brundage assured
him that "the IOC ruling had
not been directed towards ath-

CHARLES TOWN, w. Va,
Aug. "a West Virginia Racing
Commission ruling which per-
mits unlimited use of quiniela
betting was issued from
Charleston, without the knowl-
edge Of John Ambrose, chair
man of the three-man board.
Ambrose, who makes his home
here, said his first knowledge of
the rule change came from read
ing a report of the action in
the Morning Telegraph yester-
day.
Prior to the new ruling,
quiniela betting wagering on
two horses to run one-two or
vice versa was permitted on
only two races a day at West
Virginia tracks.
The Charles Town track
never has utilized its privilege to
conduct quiniela wagering and
the change permitting unlimited
betting in this manner will not
affect the tracks policy.
They are going to ruin the
game out there" Ambrose said
yesterday in commenting on the
move. He indicated he would
criticize the action further at
the commissions next meeting
He admitted, however, that there
was little he could do to prevent
the change. if the two other
commissioners. Ralph Lepore and
Roy v. Graham, were in favor
of 1t.

larized in Cuba. was introduced

Gains in Senate
BY GENE GOODWIN
Star Stafi Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 21.-South-
ern Maryland has passed the
first hurdle in its campaign be-
fore the Legislature TO increase
the number of judges on the
Court of Appeals from five to
seven. But the big test is still
to come.
The State Senate last night
voted. 10 to II. to accept fav-
orable report on a bill sponsored
by the five Southern Maryland
senator's to put proposed con-
stitutional amendment for the
larger court on the general elec-
ton next November.
One of the senators voting with
the majority, Senator James
Weinroth. Democrat of Cecil.
told the body later, however. he
intended to vote against the bill
when 1t comes up for final pas
sage later this week.
Since 10 votes are needed to
pass measure proposing to
amend the constitution, the
Southern Marylanders are going
to have to win over at least one
of last nights negative votes to
send their bill across to the
House.
Southern Maryland's interest
In the legislation lies In its pro-
vision that one of the new judges
would come from Southern
Maryland, and the other, from
Baltimore City.
Senator H. Winship Wheatley,
jr.. Democrat of Prince Georges
led the floor fight.
Delegates Perry o. Wilkinson
and Hervey G. Machen, Demo-
Gratis of Prince Georges, intro
duced a resolution that would
give the University of Maryland
authority to use faculty salary
increase money In next years
budget for initiation of social
security participation for men,
bers of the university's staff.
University employees have voted
Overwhelmingly to Join the Fed
eral Social Security program, but
the State administration declined
to appropriate the money needed
for the State share of the pro-
gram on the ground other State
departments would want to fol-
low the university's lead.

Northrop, Democrat of Mont
gomery, had ready for introduce

tend Public Service Commission
