Montreal, Munich, West Ger- many Detroit and Madrid are bidding for the Summer Games.

Mystery still surrounded Ma- drid’s bid. Rumors suggested Madrid would withdraw but work started Thursday night on the Spanish exhibit.

Col. Di Benito, technical di- rector of the Spanish exhibit, described as ‘‘sheer nonsense’’ reports that Spain would with- draw for lack of financial sup-

port.

The U.S.-Canadian ski federa- tion suggested in a letter re- ceived by Doughas ‘Roby, U.S. IOC delegate, ‘ that the I0C would be unlikély to grant any Winter Olympics site in the United States so soon after the Winter Games at Squaw Val- ley, Calif., in 1960.
