New York u. Favored
In IC4A Finals Today
BY the Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA, May M.-New
York University is favored to sup
plant Navy as the IC4A track and
field champion today, but the spike
shoe experts have soft-pedaled talk
that it'll be a runaway.
True, the New Workers dominated
yesterdays II events in which quail
flying tests were held, sending 10 men
direct into the finals and five more
into the semifinal round OF the 100
and 220 yard dashes.
But they received setbacks In
events in which they had expected
to show strength, including the low
hurdles. Warren Halliburton was
highly regarded for the 220-yard low
sticks, but pulled tendon in warm
ing up and had to withdraw. The
injury, recurrence of an old one,
also may hamper Halliburton in the
high jump today.
Michigan State, with small but
powerful outfit, threw a real scare
into the New York camp. The Spar
tans, paced by triple-threat Fred
Johnson, qualified only eight men,
but they were at the top or near the
top of their class.
One meet record was smashed
when the Army mile relay team
stepped off the distance in 3:15.5,
one-half second. faster than the
IC4A standard set up by N. Y. U. in
1910.
With N. Y. U. setting the pace,
Pennsylvania also qualified eight
men along with the Spartans. Har-
ward, Cornell, Pittsburgh and Yale
each qualified six.

Polish Troops Show
Scotch Tricks of Thrift

Polish troops, many of whom
still are stationed in Scotland. are
showing the natives a few tricks
in thrift and profit-making Most
of their efforts are directed to-
wards obtaining British pound notes
which they send out of the country,
one way or another, to relatives in
Poland. Because the clothing of
persons leaving England for the
continent and their luggage are
liable to X-ray examination, it ap-
pears that the old green issue of the
English note is most in favor. This
because modern pound notes have
metal threads running through
them, but the old green one does
not. The Poles haunt second -hand
stores, buying up old clothing and
such leather articles as old motoring
coats, gladstone bags and boots
which. once back to camp, they
turn into attractive handbags and
purses, which find ready sale in
Glasgow.

Herter Says U. 5. Policy
Is Uncertain and Confused
By the Associuted Press

Representative Herter, Republican,
Of Massachusetts asserted today
that the American foreign policy lis
characterized by uncertainty and
confusion"
Speaking at commencement eXer-
cises for the graduating class of the
School of Advanced International
Studies, Mr.. Herter said:
One might have reason to believe
that the domestic and foreign
policies Of this Nation would be
keyed together and would be so
directed as to allow us to put out
our maximum effort in combating
communistic influence. Clear-cut
policies to achieve an end at this
point became the primary RESPONSE
bility of power Uncertainty and
confusion undermine that power"
Mr.. Herter said he personally
doubted if the Greek Turkish aid
bill would have been approved by
Congress had it not been for the
fact that to have rejected the bill
would have served notice on the
world and on the Soviet government
that the American people were not
agreed as to the necessity of check
ing Soviet expansion.
The School of Advanced Inter
national Studies is conducted under
the auspices of the Foreign Service
Educational Foundation to give
graduate degrees in the field of
foreign relations.
