Olympic speed skating trials became a farce Tues-" day when the 1 complicated electrical timing equipment failed and officials wound up with two sets of times for the 500 meter dash warmup races. Eugeni Grishin of Russia, the world champion in the 500, gotthe worst of the deal in an act no vaudeville team could have matched.

3 Times Differ The electrical timer had him in 40.3 seconds, but two stop watches had him at 40 flat and a third at 40.1. His record is 40.2, set at the 1956 Olympics in Italy. The announcer called out "40' seconds flat," and the Russians smiled. It wouldn't have been recognized as a Tennis Open BY ROBERT CROMIE The -possibility of a National Open tennis tournament, with Promoter Jack Kramer's professional players competing against the best of the nation's amateur stars, seemed very real Tuesday when George E. Barnes, president of the United States Lawn Tennis association, turned up as guest at a Bismarck hotel press luncheon held by Kramer to promote his current tour, which will play in" Chicago Stadium March 4.

Voices No Demurrer Alt ho Barnes refused to commithimself on whether he favored open tournaments, he voiced no demurrer when Kramer pointed out that a National Open tourney might pour as much as into the admittedly un-crowded coffers of the U. S. L. T. A.

Barnes, reminding his hearers that the U. S. L. T. A.

Kramer said, he wanted the United States to hold the first as early as next September if possible, and that he would see to it that his professional stars, who also include Pancho Gonzales, Ken Rosewall and Pancho Segura, were entered.

But they have a different twist here in Truckee, a tiny winter sports center where 'the snowy Sierras are hooded by flabby storm clouds. Here they ring the bells in both churches.

Those church bells pealed late Monday afternoon; when- the ceremonial Olympic flame, which" -originated in Norway, was borne into: Truckee for an overnight-pause. The bells pealed again.

m. and the snow underfoot was soggy as perhaps 100 gathered at Rocking Stone tower. A few una wed small boys were casting snowballs. The mother of a freckle faced Cub scout admonished him not to drag the American flag in the slush. The ink stained wretch from Chicago read a pamphlet attesting that on a moment's noticev Truckee can field two beverage distributors, two building suppliers, one optician, one mortician, two painters, and three doctors.

At that moment one of the doctors, looking up from his speech, promised we'd hear something pretty good if the public address system is working." Seconds later, with, a police car as escort, the ceremonial flame arrived at the hilltop. It was passed hand to hand. The wretch from Chicago passed it to a young blonde of six, who with missing front teeth said her name was Holly. On the steps an urrcoated honor guard of Cub scouts shivered while the wind whipped their flags. THE ORGANIST began promptly at 4 p.

m. While Bill Berry, the area's top expert on winter sports, introduced the celebrities, a fellow whispered: "That letter the doc is going to read will go 20 minutes, unless he skips most of it." With the Cub scouts shivering, the doc did condense the letter. Then the ceremonial flame applied to a gas-fed torch. A representative of one of the two Truckee gas companies pressed a button and Rocking Stone tower was illuminated with a licking fire. From this fire, on Tuesday, would come the ceremonial flame to be carried to Squaw Valley.

Casey Stengel's overcon-fidence last year contributed to the New York Yankees' descent to third place. No one could blame old Case for taking a superior attitude.

It. is primed for up to 100 casualties a day, from maimed skiers to swooning spectators. The organization covers the gamut from on the spot first-aid stations to base hospitals hundreds of miles away, and is geared, in case of major trouble, to the civilian defense organizations of California and Nevada.

The backbone of the medical organization will be 200 doctors and 50 nurses from all over the United States, who are getting a free look at the Olympics in return for working one day of three.
