London, July 22.

International sportsmon and Olympic teams poured into Britain by sea and air today, the athletes looking amazingly well and eager for training. All were in high spirits for the 14th Olympics, all had a kind word to say about Britain and expressing delight at their welcome. The "boss" of the arrivals was the octogenarian, M. Siegfried Edstrom, President of the Inter- national Olympic Committee, who landed at Northolt Airport from Sweden accompanied by his daughter.
