By a 6-5 majority the Australian Olympic Federation's executive decided yesterday that Australia will send a team to the Moscow Olympic Games. The decision was announced in a closely-guarded board room at the Sheraton Hotel by the president of the federation, Mr Syd Grange. Outside, a group of Olympic athletes cheered and drank champagne as the decision reached the street, which was packed with people.

The decision was a rebuff to the Federal Government which has pressed strongly for a boycott of the Games as a protest against Soviet intervention in Afghanistan, Mr Grange said: "There's always been conflict in our loyalties to the Government and our loyalties to amateur sport "The great problem the executive faced was to try and reconcile these loyalties, and it wasn't an easy task." The Prime Minister, Mr Fraser, said on ATN 7's Willesee at Seven last night: "I can't give them my blessing to go but I can say that I hope that any athlete who does compete in Moscow makes damn sure that he or she beats everyone else in whatever the event maybe."

The Full Bench of the Arbitration Commission warned earlier that it would not continue the wage case hearing unless the Amalgamated Metal Workers and Shipwrights' Union called off its campaign. The union has decided to hold national stoppages for five hours every fourth Friday, beginning next Friday, in support of its campaign for a 3J-hour week. Mr Halfpenny, Victorian secretary of the AMWSU, said last night his immediate reaction was to proceed with the campaign. He could see no possibility of the campaign being called off.

The fate of the wage hearing now binges largely on Mr Hawke, working through the ACTU, persuading the union to at least postpone its Friday stoppages. Mr Hawke, the president of the ACTU, intervened in the wage case hearing on Thursday to try to keep it alive. Hearing adjourned After the hearing of Una submissions from the Federal and State -Governments yesterday, the President of the Arbitration Commission, Sir John Moore, adjourned the hearing until Thursday, to allow the employer groups to prepare their case. Giving the Commission's reasons for not immediately adjourning the wage case hearing. Sir John said: "We have considered the submissions of the parties and interveners and we have decided that we should not cease hearing the present claim simply because of the prospect of industrial action "We will therefore continue to sit while there is an opportunity for the proposed industrial action scheduled for next Friday to be called off.

"However, In the event of such action not being called off, these proceedings win be adjourned at the conclusion of next Thursday's sittings and on June 2 Mr Justice Williams will resume the conference relating to the various notifications concerning the shorter week which were before him on May 18. "In the light of developments arising from the conference, this Bench will reconvene on Tuesday, June 3, to decide the future of these Sir John stressed that the Commission's ruling should not be regarded as touching on the merits of the shorter working week claim. Sir John ended his ruling with this appeal: "We ask that all parties, including the ACTU, take what steps they can to have the campaign of industrial dislocation called off so that these proceedings can continue without interruption." oik 4i I v- ml i over your home and your heart They will also try to take over your bed unless you're very firm.

Ted and P.P.; it teems, had an ugly incident which Ted sincerely regrets. He's offered to meet the lady in- question in Hoyts Entertainment Centre at 10.30 today and is prepared to wear handcuffs if required.

Mr Grange said the executive reached its decision "after a long and very critical discussion." "We looked at the attitude of the Government, we looked af our responsibility and we tried to reconcile the two and we decided we should send a team," he said. "Our relationships with the Government have always been very cordial, and, in fact, in his most recent letter, Mr said the executive had been most courteous and clear-minded 'for the hearing it has given ministers." Mr Grange said the Government had been most generous in giving $800,000 to die team. "We have been very conscious of the frustrations our people have had to tolerate right through this unfortunate experience," he said. "They have been living in a limbo for a very long time." Mr Grange was asked if there was any section of the team which might withdraw. He referred the question to the federation's secretary-general, Mr Judy Patching, saying: "Do you know of any section that might? Do you want me to mention the Mr Patching said: "No, I do not." Mr Grange said he did not believe Mr Fraser or the Government would be vindictive towards future Australian teams.

The latest information from the International Olympic Committee was that on Tuesday a total of 73 countries had said they would contest the Games, starting on July 19. Another 30 were expected to join them by today's deadline. By comparison, be said, 84 countries took part in the Montreal Games which boycotted by several African nations. "I want to make this point," he said, "because there is some talk about what, constitutes an effective boycott. "That, of course, was a question to which, we had.

'There won't be any hurt," be said. "We won't ask them to justify it We accept that in the proper spirit of Olympisnt" (Several athletes, Including the swimming star Tracey Wickham, have indicated they would fear for their personal safety in Moscow. Others have said that uncertainty over Moscow has seriously affected their training. To march and carry flag Mr Grange said any withdrawals must be made immediately.

The Australian team would go as normal, would march and carry the flag and observe all the usual formalities. Mr Grange conceded that the federation would have to use up all its available resources. "The cost of sending a team to Moscow is very, very high," he said; "Mr Patching almost had a heart attack when he learned of the cost." Mr Grange said he was confident that Australian athletes would perform better than in Montreal. "We have been able to spend almost a million dollars on their training and preparation," he said.

He hoped others would join them. "The Government had stressed to the executive of the Olympic federa- tion that the decision being made today was not one involving sport and sport alone," he said. "It was one involving the future of all Australians, 'especially of young Australians." The Leader of the Federal Opposition, Mr Hayden, said the federation executive bad made a proper decision. "It was a decision that took a fair bit of courage," he said. The executive had been subjected to enormous pressure, and not a little bullying, from the Government.

Mr Hayden said it would have been unfair to ask the athletes to sacrifice their Games hopes while Australia continued to trade in wheat and wool with the Soviet Union. CANBERRA. The Prime Minister, Mr Fraser, said last flight: "I pray that those Olympians who do go to Moscow do not pay the price many of those who went to the Berlin Olympics paid since the world war started in 1939." Mr Fraser had received by telephone the Australian Olympic Fed-; eration'i decision to send a team to the Moscow Olympic Games. He said: "I pray that the Soviet Union does not interpret this and decisions of other Olympic federa-. tions around the world as a weaken-.
