British plan to train 140 athletes in Swiss Alps for 1972 Munich Games
The British Olympic Association aims to raise 36000 dollars to send 140 athletes for three weeks of altitude training at 6000 feet before the Munich Games, matching moves by Russia, East Germany and others, despite opposition from some British officials and runners Ron Hill and Don Faircloth. Dr. Raymond Owen notes a 3,000-meter group trained at altitude can run about 11 seconds faster than sea level athletes.

Cotton Farmers Catch Up in Arkansas After Bad Weather
Arkansas farmers faced a busy week catching up on planting and replanting cotton after heavy rains and cold spells. East and North East Arkansas replanted 10 to 20 percent, while South East Arkansas saw up to 80 percent replanted. By week’s end most fields were in the ground as rain and better temperatures moved in. Through May 14, farmers pledged 127,383 bales of the 1970-71 crop to the Commodity Credit Corp loan.
