|Karver-CIiffordD Duel
Threatens Mile Mark
BY the Associated Press

STATE COLLEGE, Pa, April 20
Penn States dual track meet with
Ohio State here Saturday may pro-
duce new collegiate mile record.
When usually cautious Charles
(Chuck) Werner, veteran Penn
State track mentor, goes out on a
limb something can be expected to
happen. And Werner is on record
as saying the meet may produce
something in the way of a new
college mile mark"
Werner, who has developed some
of the country's top track stars,
bases his assertion on the fact that
the meet brings together Penn
States Gerald Karver and Bill Cliff
ford, Ohio State flash.
Clifford currently holds the ma
tional collegiate record for the $780,
yard run. But Werner looks for the
possible new mile mark from his
protege, Karver.
Welner says Karver is at his best
under pressure and he thinks Cliff
ford is the man to extend Karver
to the limit.
Werner recalled that Saturday
will make year to the day that
Jack Dianetti OF Michigan State
pushed Karver to a 4.11:6 mile-the
best college mile in five years.

Irish in Britain Face
Loss Of Privileges as
Fire Plans 10 Cut Ties
BY the Assoeioisd Press

LONDON, Oct. 18.-About 2,000,-
600 Irishmen face the prospect of
becoming aliens in Britain If Fire
cuts the last thin link binding her
to the British Commonwealth.
Such a prospect arose, yesterday
at a surprise conference Of British
Commonwealth leaders at Chequers,
Prime Minister Attlee's country
home. A communique from the
residence said there was general
exchange OF views on matters Of
common interest arising out of the
declared intention of the Fire gov
eminent to repeal the External
Relations Act"
Act Passed in 1886.
This act was passed in 1896. 1t
links Fire to Britain, even though
Fire remains independent 1t pro-
vides that Fires diplomats abroad
and foreign representatives in Dub
lin are accredited through the Brit
ish King, just as British diplomats
are. 1t also permitted the Irish a
share in the preferential imperial
tariffs because of her status as q
member of the commonwealth fam
lily.
Sean, MacBride, Fires minister of
external affairs, and Patrick Nc
Gilligan, Fire finance minister, at
tended the conference. The fact
that they were there and that the
meeting was held at all indicated
Fire was ready to cut the tie.
