GOLDWATER. of Arizona. wants Congress to waive the rule for two Hungarianborn gymnasts. Congressman CHARLES GUESER. of California. has appealed for two Hungarianborn fencers. Congressman SEYMOUR HALPERI. of New York. for a third. Like the bill for John Macy. they all involve questions of individual merits. hopes and aspirations. Some of these athletes. because of age. may never again have a chance for Olympic competition after the games of 1960. If these athletes were made eligible through speedy naturalization American chances of winning the Olympics would be improved. But the bills raise other questions for Americans. Russian jibes about the bootlegging of athletes?
