More than 80,000 people crowded the huge modernistic stadium for an event that was not on the program when the 29th Olympic games were conceived. They came for a memorial service for those who died in terrorist strife between Palestinian guerrillas and Israeli athletes.

There were speeches by dignitaries, the soft obligatto from the translators. There was the solemn music of Beethoven. And long after the stadium was filled the crowds continued to file in. Normally inflexible guards and police were not holding anyone back today. Most of the traffic stilled, but those cars which did move carried the message to the streets on their radios.

The Canadian reaction generally was that the Games should go on, possibly as the best kind of memorial for the slain Israeli team members. Canadian team manager Ken Murray, who spent a day as a prisoner in his own headquarters during Tuesday's strife, said: "Don't stop the Games. That's what they wanted all along." Pat Ramage, a chaperone who had a ringside seat to the drama, said: "Those who were killed were athletes. They would want the games to continue.

Benoit's future uncertain By RICK LYONS Mayor Benoit's political future remains uncertain today.
