¡At a meeting of the Council of the Chinesa Na- tional Amateur Athletic Federation yester- day, Mr. Aw Ho suggested that a letter bo written. the "Chino Mail" còncerning the report the Federation Meeting hold on

June 1'7. While putting forward the suggestion, Mr. Aw Ho made a reference to "a question of business" and said that the word "dismissed" used in the "China Mai!" report of June 16, was in- appropriate.

Replying to Mr. Aw Ho's future, all letters would be do- Suggestion. Mr. Mok Hing re-livered by a "boy" and that the ferred to what had actually recipients sign a chit book. happened at the meeting in question and said that, as was quite clear from the Minutes of the meeting. Mr. H. K. Le had been, to use the Chinese phrase "chit chik" (meaning

'dismissed").

Another speaker pointed out that although the Federation could write a letter to the "China Mail" on the subject, it would not neces- sarily follow that the "China Mail" would take any notice of such letter. In fact Me "China

Lawrence will be Tony Lopes biggest challenger in the 150-back this year.

Back in training also, at last, Is George Saunders, the 50-free champion and record holder. George will be seen for the first: time this year in the 50 when En competes in the VRC mem- bers' league arranged for June 30. He seems, however, to be diving more interested in the event. He certainly has reasons to be, judging by his fine perform-! ance last Saturday.

Mr. Aw Ho also brought up the question of members of the Federation expressing views con- cerning the Federation to mem- bers of the Press. He suggested that in futuro, all information concerning the Federation should be announced only by the Chair- man of the Federation or his duly constituted representative.

Mr. Mok Hing strongly opposed and said that in the suggestion Hong Kong, the people were ai- lowed freedom of speech and were entitled to criticise what they considered to be wrong

Members were, however, free to express their own views, but such views would not be binding on Federation.
