(UPI) — Twoof the most powerful menin the world of amateur sport. believing that membersof the Carter administration have already made up their minds to boycott the Moscow Olympics, will try to talk them out of it Friday Armed with philosophical arguments as well as the bylaws of the Inter- national Olympic Committee, Robert Kane and F. Don Miller will meetthis afternoon with presidential aides in Washington Kane, president of the U.S. Olympic Committee. and Miller, the organization’s executive director, were expected to contend that President Carter has no authority to enact a boycott because the IOC charter specifies that no political leader can make such a decision. Before leaving for Washington Thurs- decided on the boycott issue. “It appears from what I read that day, Miller also left open the possibility that the USOC mightignore a boycott some individuals in Washington do have their minds made up already order.

He said the western Europeans “widely questioned the propriety of holding the games in Moscow at this time”’ and discussed the Olympics in terms of alternatives rather than a rules and regulations are under which we mustoperate.’’ Chief among those,Millersaid, is the bylaw which states that any Olympic policy must be determined by a er's governing committee and not litical leaders. “T have a besirylthey do not understand that,” Miller said. And when asked whetherIte felt Carter was “‘butting in’ on USOC business, he replied, “Yes,” Kane had said Wednesday that if Carter ordered the Americansto stay home, they would. Miller chose not to go along with Kane's statement, however. “By our charter. our statutes and our membership in IOC, any action taken must be within the duly designated body (USOC). Miller said. ‘Therefore. whenever the president (Carter) did make a decision, it would call for a meeting of our executive board. Then, with input from the athletes who will represent us in the games, our decision will be made. “Right now, our athletes are confused and have a burden imposed upon psy: chological impact.

The settlement requires the Jazz to pay Maravich $1.8 million for the 24% years left on his Utah contract. But Larry Hatfield, the team’s managing partner, said the financial settlement “will be spread over several years.” Utah will apparently pick up centerforward Jerome Whitehead of San Diegoto fill out the team’sroster. Jazz coach Tom Nissalke talked with the 6foot-10 Whithead last roadtrip to Southern fornia about replacing Maravich on the club. The team said an announcementon a replacement for Maravich would be made Friday.
