China may enter
~ Olympics

LONDON Reuter - Lord
Killain, president of: the
International Olumpic
Committee, returned home
from China on Tuesday
convinced he had made
progress on restoring the
world's largest country to
the Olympic movement.

“The important thing is
that we have established a
dialogue with Peking,” he
told reporters during a
stopover at London airport
en route from Tokyo to his.
home in Ireland.
“We are tr ng to restore

relations with

thro intermediaries.

_ Killain’s five day visit to
China was aimed -: at
bringing that country back
into the Olympic movement,
which it left in 1958 because
of the continued mem-
bership of Taiwan in the
Ioc.

. Taiwan remains the ob-

stacle to a solution, he said.
“The position is that the
Peking attitude is, and
remains, that there is only
one China. There is not a
China and a Taiwan, they
made that point very clear.”
Taiwan walked out of the
Montreal Olympic Games
last year when the Canadian
government refused to
permit its team to compete
under the flag or name of
Republic of China, the of-
fical name of the island
territory, which remains in
the I0C through the
Republic of China Olympic
Committee. .

Several of the 26 in-
ternational federations
which govern individual
Olympic sports have been
looking at their stand on the
China-Taiwan question.

Taiwan is a member of 17
of these federations. Peking
is accepted fully by nine an
offered. membership in
several others only if it does
not demand the expulsion of
the Taiwan body. -

BOSTON (AP) — New
York Yankees are miffed
that Tuesday's rained-out
game in Boston against the

rescheduled as a night game
at Fenway Park on Wed-
nesday.

our fratests,” Yankees’
president Gabe Paul said,
when informed of the
rescheduling. ‘‘We very
definitely wantto play in the
afternoon Wednesday.

“They (the Red Sox) know
that,”” he continued, “We
went on the record, both
verbally and in writing.”

was a better chance of
playing the game at night in
view of the predicted
weather for the Boston area
on Wednesday. The forecast
was for rain to continue
through Tuesday night,
ending during the day
Wednesday.

In the event the game is
not played Wednesday, it
may have to be held over

do with that,” he said.

windup between the two
clubs, was postponed about
3% hours efore the
scheduled start after the
field was inspected by Dick

pires, and Chylak.
