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.

don’t want to boycott

years after
President Char
ter announced
a U.S. boycott
of the Moscow
Olympics be-
cause of the
Soviet invasion
of Afghanistan, the Soviets went before a
I meeting of the International Olympic Com
mittee in Lausanne, Switzerland to accused
the United States formally of violating the
Olympic Charter.
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). ”
