To MacArthur's left are: William P. Russell, U.S. Track & Field president;AAU attorneys, Pincus Sober and Albert Wheltle; Don Hull, AAU executive director, and Louis Fisher, AAU president. In change of scene, competitors are seen in the women's 60 yard dash at the Olympic Track and Field trials in Los Angeles. It is won by Marilyn White, who poses smiling for the camera.
