Olympic squad frets over scraps aboard roosevelt trip
The 234 American Olympic athletes and officials aboard the Roosevelt route to New York face a potential clash as New York invites a weeklong stay for a parade and reception.

Internal tensions rise with criticism of management, including calls to reorganize, and disputes over U S officials control. Boxing officials defend coordination while noting missed boxing championships in track and field decisions.
