HOAD ADMITS HE BROKE A CONTRACT
But Sees No Reason For Feeling Guilty
Philadelphia, Sept. 10.
Low Hoad of Australia, in a magazine article entitled "I was a Tennis Slave,” said today that no player could stay on the international tournament circuit unless there were payments in violation of amateur rufes.
"The big payoffs are mostly fiction," he said in the latest issue of the Saturday Evening Post. "I don't say there are not payments in violation of amateur rules. No player could stay on the circuit if there were not." They are not "under the table payments necessarily, but right out in the open. The players know it. The tournament directors know it, the ten- nis associations know it."
However, Head said that `ex-; Hood, often reported in news- } when and where to play.

ROMANS WILL MAKE 1960 GAMES AN UNFORGETTABLE EVENT FOR ART LOVERS
Says ERNEST SAKLER
Rome.
Italy, the land of art, is preparing to display all its beauties during the 1960 Itome Olympics to make them an unforgettable event for art lovers,
Italy's top artistic brains are already at work to map a worthy setting for the first Olympic Games ever to be held in the Eternal City. Special arrangements are being made to show Rome at its best to the hundreds of thousands expected to con- vene here from the far corners of the world.
Sports facilities already exisiting or under construction are generally re- cognised as being among the world's boat. Plans are being considered to increase hotel accommodation and funnel traffic to the Olympic sites by special routes to avoid the traffic-jammed streets of downtown Rome. But Italians feel this technical pre- paration is not enough. This is not "any" Olympiad. It is a historic occasion, the last jewel that had still been missing from the crown of the mother city of Christjan- ity and Western civilisation.
Rome has seen Cicero and Cardinals, warriors. scholars, centre of the world and a graz- Virgil, Caeter and St Peter, | natalers, reufptors, triumphs and| ing ground for cows. An Olymple Michelangelo and Raphael Pepes, defeals. Its Forum has been the Games was about the only thing the cl'y had never seen, and now It has obtained it, it wants to make sura, the celebration bo something fore.

Dulics told his press confer- ence that the United States was currently trying to find a 'meone by which to authorise spuris mien from these Communist countries to participate in the Squaw Valley Games.

Wrestling events are scheduled among the ruins of the Basilica of Maxemtlus, a towering struc- ture bulit on the fringe of the Forum by Roman Emperor Maxentius and completed by Constantine, first Christian ruler of Rome, who delealed Maxon- tus in a historic battle after dreaming of a cross with the Inscription "In hot signo vinces" (Under this ensign shalt thou win).

The trium- phal arch of Constantine facing the Colosseum and the Forums, will be the finish line.
The Rome newspaper I Messaggero suggested to add to all this the Stadium, litle known even to Romans because of sta distance from the city and vir tually abandoned. Yet, 11 Messaggero said, it is the only well-preserved stadium of an- cient Rome. The outer walls and lowers are still intact, and li can hold an estimated 18,000 persoas.

A BIG ROLE
Art also plays a big role in planned side events of the Olympics, including an exhibi- tion of "Sports Art" to be held st the Mussolini-built World Fair grounds South of Rome, site of miny Olympic events. The show will Include paintings and sculp Iure works portraying sports scenes from the times of the fabulous Etruscans to the Renaissance and the presen. day.
Il Messaggero is extrpaigning to add to all this an "Olympla of World Folklore" to be staged simultaneously with the Olympic Games, The Felklore Olymples would be a display of truditionel' Gostumes, folk dances and songs from all continen's, rangleg from Italy to the Far East and from Eskimocs to Africas negroes and American Indiana.
"The Olympics are not only display of pure strength," -I Messeggero zaki. "In their cen« turies-old-tradition, they hav rather been the highest and most exquisite expresión of the spirit which considers viciory crown, not conquered · by fareo, but corned through morale through self-denial, through that ancient poul which to tho dia- tinguishing mark of a poople,”
