Avery Brundage, head of the American Olympics Committee, sailed for Germany shortly after midnight tonight aboard the Hamburg-American liner, New York, to investigate charges that the Nazi policies have debarred Jewish athletes from participation in training for the 1936 Olympic Games.

Largely on the strength of the report Brundage will bring back to the United States action will be taken to enter or withdraw American athletes from the 1936
