Wednesday, April 25, 1984/The Battalion/Page 3 Soviets: U.S. violated Olympic Charter rules United Press International LAUSANNE, Switzerland — The Soviet Union formally charged the United States Tuesday with violating the Olympic Charter in its preparations for the 1984 Summer Games in Los Angeles. U.S. officials rejected the protest. The Soviets went before the International Olympic Committee to charge the United States is conducting an anti-Soviet campaign, not providing adequate security for Soviet ath letes and commercializing the games. And in a protest likely to arouse Californian sympathies, they complained about the Los Angeles smog. American officials told the IOC the allega tions of anti-Soviet bias and other Olympic Charter violations were unfounded, saying they welcomed the Soviet athletes and wanted their participation in the games. The world’s two biggest sporting nations presented their arguments to a top-level panel convened by IOC President Juan Antonio Sa maranch of Spain. The panel met at Moscow’s request but is not required to reach a decision. Tuesday’s exchange came four years to the day after the Carter administration an nounced a U.S. boycott of the 1980 Moscow Games because of the Soviet invasion of Af ghanistan. Soviet Sports Minister Marat Gramov care fully avoided threatening a Soviet boycott of the games. “We have just asked for direct (U.S.) obser vation of the Olympic Charter,” Gramov said after his 75-minute appearance before the five-member panel. “It is too early to say what we will do. Let us not be running ahead of events.” Peter Ueberroth, president of the Los An geles Olympic Organizing Committee, told re porters the allegations “are clearly not valid.” “It’s a case of telling the truth and that’s that,” he said. “They’ll be welcome in Los An geles if they care to come (and) if they don’t care to come, that’s their free choice.” Ueberroth, who IOC officials invited as a courtesy to present the U.S. position, said he told the committee the United States “is pre pared” for the Soviets to oarticinate. Chernenko says Soviets don’t want to boycott :« aimtik I £ course t; and I ust be til (I out of United Press International MOSCOW — Although the Soviet Union has formally complained about the U.S. hand ling of the Lbs Angeles Olympics, President Konstantin Chernenko said Tuesday Moscow does not want to boycott the event.

They lef t open the question of whether they would attend the Los Angeles games. Soviet Sports Minister Marat Gramov, said it was too early to say whether his country would or would not attend the games. But in a meeting with Italian Foreign Min ister Giulio Andreotti in Moscow Tuesday, Chernenko said the Soviet Union did not want to boycott the Los Angeles games if it could be helped. He said he would ask the president of the IOC, Juan Antonio Samaranch, to come to Moscow to discuss the Soviet complaints, according to Andreotti. The Soviet news agency Tass said the games are being organized against the back ground of “a large-scale anti-Soviet, anti-so cialist campaign, (which) is mounting with the blessing of official authorities.” The Soviets clearly appear to be still resent ful over the American-led boycott of their 1980 Olympics, which was joined in whole or in part by 64 other nations. Peter Ueberroth, president of the Los An geles Olympic Organizing Committee, con ceded as much in Lausanne. He said, “We cannot eliminate the hurt of what Carter’s boycott did in 1980 ... We can’t make it go away.” The Soviets have until June 2 to decide on whether to send a team to Los Angeles. Their decision either way is certain to be copied by other communist countries. Hobby, Briscoe supporting Mondale United Press International AUSTIN — Lt. Gov. Bill Hobby and former Gov. Dolph Briscoe, who previously backed Ohio Sen. John Glenn for the Democratic presidential nomi nation, threw their support Tuesday to former Vice Presi dent Walter Mondale. And while Mondale’s cam paign was stockpiling former Glenn backers in advance of the May 5 Texas political caucuses. Sen. Gary Hart’s campaign was seeking support Tuesday from Texas farmers and ranchers. Hobby, who was Glenn’s state campaign coordinator before the former astronaut withdrew from the race, and Briscoe were among 12 politicians and busi ness leaders who announced their endorsements of Mondale at a Capitol news conference. Others included former Lt. Gov. Ben Barnes, Dallas busi nessman Jess Hay, Parks and Wildlife Commission Chairman Edwin Cox Jr., Alice business man Lucien Flournoy, San An tonio attorney Lowry Mays, for mer Tyler state Sen. Peyton McKnight, Dallas businessman Ronald J. volckman, Tyler oil man Royce Wisenbaker and University of Texas regent Mario Yzaguirre. “A lot of people said we did not have business support for Walter Mondale in Texas, but this shows his conservative sup port runs deep and the business support does too,” Land Com missioner Garry Mauro, who endorsed Mondale earlier this month, said in announcing the endorsements. Meanwhile, Hart campaign officials announced the forma tion Tuesday of a steering com mittee comprised of Texas farmers and ranchers, bringing to nine the number of states to organize rural coalitions to sup port Hart. John Stencil, a Colorado farmer and agricultural adviser to Hart, and Doug Seal, chair man of the agricultural caucus of the Texas Democratic Party, said they would tour West Texas and the Panhandle this week to drum up more support for Hart from farmers and ranchers. “It seems like Ronald Reagan has created an evil empire in the USDA,” Seal said. “Presi dent Reagan is a total disaster as far as agriculture (goes). ” Immigration Law Firm Samuel PI.
