Berlin August 8 Eleanor Holm Jarrett the swimmer disbarred from the Olympic swimming squad on the day the American team arrived in Hamburg faces Europe wide amateur competition ban. Dr Leo Donath secretary of the International Swimming Federation said he acted on Brundage instructions who claimed Jarrett has been disqualified from amateur competition but details were not given.
