REGRET EXPRESSED
HITLER HAS NOT MET OWENS. INCONSISTENT GERMANS. Received Aug. 5, 10.30 p.m. BERLIN, Aug. 5. The Australian Associated Press special correspondent says: Many Olympic representatives regret that Hitler has not met Owens—a real champion if ever there was one—like German winners. They feel that there is a tendency to make the Games a vast patriotic demonstration. For instance, all German victories are greeted not only by singing “Deutschlana Über Alles,” but also the Horst Wessel song, helping to delay the programme. The other winning nations are content with one anthem, though negro spirituals might justifiably be added to ‘ The Star-Spangled Banner."
