Funds needed to send U S athletes to Los Angeles
Detroit Olympic committee treasurer George Graves warns that $350000 must be raised by July 1 or the U S team, over 400 athletes, will be reduced. With only about $36000 on hand by May 86, New York City faces a $100000 quota and other cities have sizable targets. Graves appeals to citizens to donate at 223 John R Street, Detroit, for a costly international bid that may push tickets and local events as funding options.
