I.O.C. DISCUSSES VENUE OF NEXT OLYMPICS
Mexico City, Apr. 17.
The International Olympic Committee formal- ly opens its meeting today with the question of the Australian quarantine on horses holding the key to whether Melbourne will be allowed to hold the 1956 games.
Committee directors who heard Australian representatives in a closed meeting yesterday in- dicated that all other problems regarding the Mel- bourne site have been virtually solved.
But the IOC's Chancellor, Otto Mayer of Switzerland, called the horse quarantine "apparently the one remaining problem."
The question of whether Melbourne will be permitted to hold the 1950 Games as originally planned expected to be the most importent matter discussed
