Wilt to lead NBA All-Stars NEW YORK UPI —A veteran 10-man squad led by un-animous-selection Wilt Chamberlain and three members of the Boston Celtics was named today to represent the Eastern Division in the National Basketball Association’s 18th annual East-West All-Star game

on Jan. 23.

Chamberlain, the Philadelphia center who has made the AllStar game every year since he came into the NBA in 1959. was the only player to receive a perfect 12.000-point total in voting by sports writers and broadcasters from each of the

division cities.

They also selected three members of the Celtics, the maximum allowed from any one team. Representing Boston in the Madison Square Garden
