TOKYO (UPD This biRgi'sl
city in llic world is suffering
from "Olympic hysteria as i
Japan prepares or llic sluKini!
ncxl year o( the first Olympic
Games ever to he held in Asia.
The XVIII Olympiad will be
the larKcst and costliest since
the first games were held at
the fool of Mount Olympus
more than 21 centuries ami.
Because they are bcinfi held i
in the carlh s most populous,
congested and disorganized city,
the l4 Tokyo Olympics could
turn out lo be a chaotic night
mare for sportsmen and public
alike.
Or they may be, as Tokyo
Gov. Uyotara Azuma has re
pealcdly pledged, the "most
colorful and successful Olym
pics in the hislory of the
games."
Al slake is Japan s prestige
as a world power and the im
perial honor of Empcrior lliro
hilo, who has arccpled the hon
orary presidency of the liMi'l
games which open Oct. 21.
Pressures Orip City
Inwardly all !hc pressure,
emotion and huge slakes in
volved have given rise to what
a Ja,.ncse medical journal
calls "Olympic hysteria."
The entire city is afflicted
wilh "Olympic hysteria," the
journal says, from the prime
on street corners and in train
stations, blissfully unmolested
by police.
It's this indifference that gov
ernment and civic leaders are
f'ghting to counteract before
I'.ic visitors descend. The cry is
civic pride.

oity is progressing rapidly in
some sections but lagging in
others. Work on six of the 2fi
roads has been halted, apparent
ly because of the lack of funds.
Sections of the two key super
highways linking Ihe Olympic
village with the main game sites
and the airport have already
been open to the public. Both
roads are expected lo be com
pleted by August.
Work on the other IS roads
has slowed to a crawl in many
places because of the refusal of

government this month. It will
be made into an Olympic village,
where athletes will be housed
and fed.
Work is progressing well on

Washington Heights which will
house an indoor swimming pool,
judo and basketball court; and

put up wilh for llic Olympics:
The high prices he has to pay,
the scaffoldings he has to duck,
the lorn up streets mound
which he has to detour.
The major worry of govern
ment, civic and business lead
ers is not the unfinished proj
ects. It's the impressions of the
Japanese people which Ihe vis
itors lo the games are likely to
lake home. Will they remember
Ihe Japanese as dignified, cul
tured and courteous, or as a
people beset wilh social ills?
Thousands Lxprctrtl
About 49,1100 foreigners, in
cluding 9,800 athletes and offi
cials from 100 nations, arc ex
pected lo come to Japan (or
the games. Most of Ihe visitors
will nol be Ihe elderly, cultural
minded tourists Japan is accus
tomed lo. For llic most part
they will be young, thrifty and
less tolerant. Unless some dra
matic changes are made, lhcy
arc in for some rude shocks.
In the cities and Inwns of
Japan, one of the world's most
industrially advanced and liter
ate nations, urinating in the
streets is a common and toler
ated practice. The majority of
Japanese, especially Ihe young
er generation, do nol. But Hie
sizeable male minorily which
does is enough to make a bad ;
and lasting impression.
