Mounting sentiment against holding of the Olympic Games in Berlin reached a climax today during a soccer match at Vincennes Stadium near here when a group of sportsmen paraded around the field in an anti-Berlin demonstration.
The paraders carried posters bearing the inscription:
“Transfer the Olympic Games from Berlin elsewhere.”
Formation of an anti-Olympics committee, called “Fair Play”, was announced today. M. Campinchi, attorney, was named chairman of the committee. Among the foreign members listed on its board are Sir Robert Mond of London and Judge Louis D. Brodsky of New York.
