OLYMPICS
GERMANY-EXTENDS INVITATION
TO PARTICIPATE
Charges that Jewe might be dix- criminated against in the 1936 Olympic Games at Berlin have been disproved in convincing fashion by the President of the German Reichs Olympic Committer and
Sport Leader Captain von Tscham- mer-Osten, who recently made n point of personally inviting two Jewish athletes to join the Ger- man Olympic team.
•In a letter addressed to Miss Helen Mayer, the, German Jewish fencing expert who has already been a competitor at Amsterdam and Los Angeles and is now teach- ing languages at the University of Southern California, U.S.A., Cap- tain von Tachammer-Osten asks.. she would care to take part in next. year's games. The Captain als that, if alte nccepts, she may con- alder herself as a member of the preselected Gernian team which will be definitely composed in the spring of 1986 after anal test games. If Ming Mayer should be prevented from taking part in these test games, the Reichs Sport Loader will necopi American aparts tests as muelent qualification.
It will be remembered that Miss Mayer won a Gold Medal at. Ama- terdam, but failed to repent her performance at Los Angeles. She cannot compete in next year's Games for any other country but Germany, since it is a rule that an Olymple athlete may not change teams. Horr von Tachummer-¦ Osten has written another letter to Karl Ritter von Halt; who his i charge of selecting the German Olympic team, requesting him to invite the Jewisli athlete, Mins Burgmann, of Stattgart, to parti-
te in the elimination tests.
