T ISN'T the type of thing
j one would read about on the
sports pages of commercial
newspapers, but there’s some-
thing of an international move
afoot to strike down all racial
color bars in sports.

It may, however, even break

into U.S. and Canadian sports

pages shortly.

The reason: the matter is on
the agenda of the International
Olympic Committee, which
meets this month in Rome.

Quite a few names are in-
volved in the campaign.
Among them, for example are
philosopher Bertrand Russell;
former United Nations secre-
tary Trgve Lie; and Emil Zat-
opek, the great Czech runner
.and Olympic champion.

BERTRAND RUSSELL

They are among the 30
signers—15 intellectuals and 15
athletes—of a letter to the
committee requesting simply
that there be no discrimination
in sport against anyone be-
cause of color, religion or
politics.

Actually, the Olympic
Games themselves have not
been an instrument of discrim-
ination. The teams of the vari-
ous nations have been accepted
as sent. Discrimination comes
from the participating nations,
like South Africa.

Such a declaration of policy
by the IOC, African sources
note, “is likely to have far-
reaching effects on South Af-
rican participation in inter-
nationa] sporting events,” to
cite but one example.

There is even an organiza-
tion known as the Campaign
Against Discrimination in
Sport, which is heading up the
drive and of which Anthony
Steel is secretary. Headquart-
ers are in London.

Other signers of the letter

include the Archbishop of
York and Albert Moravia,
Italian writer,

Additional support is com-
ing from other organizations.
The Bristol Rovers, a British
soccer team, and other such
groups in Britain have adopted
resolutions supporting the pro.
posed policy declaration.

Brian London proved a
game punching bag for Floyd
Patterson, but the big question
“Ts Patterson a real champ or
a cheese champ?” remains un-
answered.

Patterson looked sharp in
the first few rounds, then mis-
sed often and took far too long
to’ put his man away. London
failed to jar Floyd—his stab-
bing lefts carried little power
—and gave no one an oppor-
tunity to view the titleholder
under fire.

Letter from an oldtimer in
Pitt Meadows this week, blast-
ing the paper for running an
article on horse racing last
week.

Another letter from Moscow
in the same mail, with Mark
Frank, the Canadian Tribune
correspondent in the USSR,
Saying the racing season is
on in the Soviet Union, and
wondering if we can give him
“a hot*tip. or two.”

“Am waiting for an assign-
ment from you to take the
races in and put that rouble
down on the nose to win—they
do, you know, here,” writes
Mark. :

Of course they have horse
racing in socialist countries,
and the workers like to bet
just as they do here. They also
have state lotteries, which are
banned in this capitalist coun-
try.

The London Daily Worker,
one of the finest socialist pap-
ers published in the capitalist
world, devotes a great deal of
space to horse racing, and
boasts, the best “tipster” of
them all-in Cayton. It is said
that when Winston Churchill
goes to the races he sometimes
buys the Daily Worker to take
a peek at Cayton’s selections.

Every man has a right to
his own choice of sports. But
no man has a right to tell
another worker that his favor-
ite sport—whether is be base-
ball, golf or horse racing—
shouldn’t be allowed.

Horse racing is the favorite
sport of millions of workers,
both in capitalist and socialist
countries. The Pacific Tribune
therefore, will continue to
comment on racing is this col-
umn, as well as on all other
popular sports.

A man entered a restaurant

and ordered a plate and a glass

of water. Then he took out a
package of sandwiches and
began to eat.

“Here,” roared the manager,
“what are you doing?”

“And who are you?” inquir-
ed the diner.

“I’m the manager.”

“Good,” said the man. “I was
just going to send for you. Why
isn’t the orchestra playing.”
