Soviet

athletes' safety
at L. A. Games
MOSCOW ( UPI) The Soviet
Union said Tuesday it would not par
bcmate in the 1984 Olympic Games
in Los Angeles because the tinned
States cannot guarantee the safety
of allathletes faking part.

respect their nghts and human dig-nity
and create normal conditions
for boJdmg the games, the official
lass news agency said.
Under those conditions, Tass said,
' the U. S. S. R. is compelled to de-clare
that participation of Soviet
sportsmen in the games of the 23rd
Olympiad in Los Angeles is impossi-ble
The Soviet move follows the Unit
ed States boycott of the 1980 Games
in Moscow which President Carter
said was to protest the Soviet inva-sion
of Afghanistan.
In Washington, the State Depart-ment
accused the Soviet Union of
trymg to turn me Olympic Games
into a political fonan and denied
Moscow's allegations of lack of secu-rity
Onr conscience is very clear,
spokesman JoanHughes said.
" The United States clearly regrets
the Soviet disregard of pontic opin-ion
around the world, and tbe
charges made in the Tass statement
are utterly without merit," Hughes
said, describing the move as a ' bla-tant
attempt to play pofiucs with
the Olympics, doe to stert July 28
Asked bow the Soviet decision to
pull out of the Los Angeles Olympics
differed from tbe UJS. deasxon to
boycott the 1980 Moscow games,
Hughes said. The difference is
something called Afghanistan. The
reason me United States stayed
away was the extraordinary brutali-ty
shown by the Soviets in Afghanis-tan.
There is no comparable acton
bythe United States here."

Don Miller, U S Olympic committee official, was ' saddened' by Soviet decision
Hughes said the United States
' had gone the last mile" to answer
Soviet requests for security and the
only unresolved disagreement was
over the US refusal to accept the
credentials of a single Soviet official
as their attache m Los Angeles.
Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley
saying he was " very disappointed
labeled the Soviet charges ' without
foundation. " Both the federal gov
emmmest, the LAOOC I and the
Los Angeles police department have
repeatedly given assurances to the
Soviets and everybody eke that men- athlete- s
will be welcomed, will be
protected, that we have every expec-tation
to be able to supply every as-pect
of security to all the visitors in-cluding
the Olympic athletes.
Tass said the Soviet Olympic Com-mittee
met with officials of the Inter
national Olympic Committee and
they agreed that the Soviet position
was just and substantiated."
But, it said, US authorities con-tinued
' rudely to interfere m affairs
belonging exclusively to the compe-tence
of the Los Angeles Olympic
Organizing Committee.
Tbe Soviet committee said the
Reagan administration was using
the games for political aims.

his quest and assured that the battle

Wefch, 22, of Moberly was treated for minor

threatened to kill Welch and set fire to the

Lyies was holding a razor that is commonly
used to open boxes no other weapons were
found m the apartment.
Lyies was arrested on two charges in addi-tion
to those filed assault with a deadly

earned a harsh enough sentence that the other
twocharges were not needed.
