John Pfiffner Honored With Service Award
War Conference Papers Stalled
WASHINGTON. D. C. (CPI — The State Department has given up hope of publishing the official papers on the Potsdam Conlerence and the fall of China before the Nov. 6 election, informed sources said today.
The documents, which the department originally intended to release early last summer, probably would have figured prominently in the presidential campaign had they been published on schedule.
But officials said they are being held up pending clearances from other governments involved and from agencies within the U.S. Government.
Record Published The series of historical record was ordered published shortly after President Eisenhower took office in 1953. So far. only one volume has been published—an account of the Yalta meeting between the late President Roosevelt, Britain’s Winston Churchill and the late Soviet Premier Josef Stalin.
The State Department had told Congress it intended to publish before last June 30 additional volumes dealing with World War II meetings at Potsdam. Tehran and Cairo and the first, part of a massive 10-volume series on the Communist victory in China.
But officials said it is clear now that the next volume in the wartime conference series—dealing with the Potsdam meeting —cannot he published until some time next year.
China Series They said there is a chance the opening volume of the China series may be published late next month.
The China papers are sure to touch off a new political wrangle over whether the United States could have saved Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Sheks
| by the Communists.
The Republicans long have Nationalists from being ousted contended Chiang could have been saved if the Democratic administrations had played their cards right. The Democrats have said the situation was beyond U.S. control.
Officials neither agree nor disagree that the China series is intended by the Republicans as a repudiation of the China “White Paper" issued by former Democratic Secretary of State Dean Acheson in 1949. The^ said only that the 10 volumes “will give the complete story.”
Colorful History Of Mutiny Told
“The Caine Mutiny Courtmar-tial,” to be presented by SCs drama department Tuesday, Oct. 30 to Saturday. Nov. 3. in Bo-vard Auditorium has quite a history.
The story was first published as a novel. “The Caine Mutiny.” and was later adapted into a motion picture starring Humphry Bogart. The book had a good reception but did not indicate in the first three months that it would eventually become ofte of the most successful novels of its time.
For over two years the book was constant!'" r>n 1hr> host-seller lists, a record matched by barely a half-dozen books of this century.

Polish Coup
Coastal Residents Panicked by Ships
WARSAW, — (UPt — Soviet naval cruisers steamed into territorial waters of independent-minded Poland during the night, official sources reported today.
The Russian officer in command of the Warsaw military district left abruptly for the Soviet Union, the same sources said.
Signs of Soviet military activity in the defiant country occurred as the*new Polish Politburo—the elite of the party—-met in the capital to decide what to do about Defense Minister Konstantin Rokossovsky, a Soviet army officer sent to command military forces in Poland in 1949. The new “Liberal” party leadership under Wladyslaw Go-mulka ousted him fropn the Politburo last night, hut retained his post as defense chief.
Official reports said the appearance of “two or three’’ Soviet cruisers in waters off the Baltic Sea port of Danzig (Gdansk) caused panic among coastal residents.
Missions Barred (In Berlin, the Soviet High Command barred Western Military Missions assigned to Red army headquarters from visiting the Polish border area.
Authoritative sources in Berlin reported “large numbers” of Soviet troops moving toward the Polish border located 60 miles from Berlin. These movements have been underway for several days, the sources said.)
The Polish army itself apparently was loyal to Gomulka. Students and the command of the Jaroslaw Dabrowski Military Technical Academy last night met to pledge “sunport of the democratic forces within the leadership of the party.” Disgraced “Titoist”
The general commanding the internal security forces, Waclaw Komar, is a friend of Gomulka, and, like the party chief, Komar was a disgraced “Titoist" who was hehabilitated and restored to high honors.
Komar’s men in the Warsaw Security Corps garrison tonight adopted a resolution stating that Poland wants friendship with Russia “on the basis of equality and sovereignty.”
The resolution rejected “all attempts to separate the army from the nation . . .”
The military and historical board of the Polish general staff demanded that the new' party leadership rush “democratization” of the army and “put this army under the permanent* control of the party and of the entire community.’'
The statement was a clear attack on such generals as Rokossovsky and Andriejewski who, with a number of Russian officers, hold high positions in the Polish armed forces.
Tax Shakeup
Attorney Predicts Code Crackdown
Taxpayers who engage in trading in so-called “loss corporations” to avoid Federal income tax will find the going somewhat rougher than in the past. Dean S. Butler, Los Angeles attorney and certified public accountant, predicted this week.
“Congress appears to have adopted a policy of permitting the offset of gains against losses among closely related taxpayers," he told 600 attorneys and accountants at the ninth annual Institute on Federal Taxation at the School of Law.
Income and Losses
“It is anticipated that we will no longer have the situation where there is taxable income in one pocket with nondeductible losses in the other,” Butler said. “Related corporations should have no trouble with the new sections.”
Regulations about “loss corporations” are still being awaited since passage of the 1954 internal revenue code.
It is impossible to read a net over-all profit from charitable giving, said Baxter K. Richardson, Fresno attorney.
The Gifts of Securities to Minors Acts provides a good practical way of making Christmas, birthday, and similar gifts of small amounts of securities to minors, said Frank L. Mallory, Los. Angeles attorney.
More,Tax Advice
“Gift tax consequences are certain and desirable,” he said. "Income and estate tax conse-I quences are uncertain and can i present serious tax traps for the | unwary if sizable amounts of I securities or income should be-J come involved.”
About one billion dollars of ! revenue is involved each year in the taxation of U. S. corpora-I tions doing business abroad, said Ira T. Wender, New York attorney. About S300.000.000 is collected on foreign source income and §700,000,000 on exports, he said.
Exempt Foreign Income
They are to exempt foreign income from U. S tax, reduce the U. S. tax rate on certain types of foreign income to 38 per cent, or defer U. S. tax on foreign income reinvested abroad by creation of a special class of domestic corporation which would function in a manner similar to foreign holding companies.
"The choice of the form through which business should be conducted abroad is of particular importance because foreign corporations once established cannot be reorganized tax-free w ith-out prior approval of the internal revenue service," he said. “This approval is rarely given."
Discuss Possible Uprising of Bitter Trojan Students
Four Trojan leaders flew up to Stanford Friday night to discuss with campus officials the possible eruption of violence and vandalism this week-end by SC students who are bitter over Sanford’s pure stand in the PCC football
scandals.
Carl Terzian, student body president; Chaplain Clinton A.
Neyman, acting dean of students; Jack Casey, president of the Knights; and Yell King Dann Angeloff flew from Los Angeles in the afternoon and returned late that night.
The student body president, dean of students, campus newspaper editor, business manager and rally committee chairman represented Stanford.
In a two hour session in the dean of students’ office, the group talked over preventive measures against possible trouble between SC and Stanford students.

Trojan Caravan Meets in Fresno
E.B. White Hailed as Literary Lion But Was Really Meek as a Mouse
By KEN MONDSHINE
E. B. White is considered by many as America's greatest essayist, it was pointed out yesterday by Dr. Julia Norton Mc-Corkle of the ..nglish department at the fourth weekly program of the English Noon Readings.
“E. B. White was far from being a literary lion in the cultural circles of New York. He was in reality a man shy of people, finding enjoyment in being alone, admiring the beauties of the countryside up at his salt water farm in Maine.” Dr. Mc-Corkle said.
James Thurber once said that White was a poet “half hidden from the public eyes due to his I shyness,’’ the English professor added.
Short Comments
“White is most thought of as the writer of short comments of amazing reasonableness on top-! ics from the merest human irn- ! pulse to world government,” she said.
A good example of this is shown in some of the poetry j
he wrote. One of the poems read was written by White on his first airplane trip on TWA, called “The Passionate'Passenger to his Love.”
Hemingway Poem Another poem read by Dr. McCorkle was one White wrote in response to what Ernest Hemingway once said. He shot lions that were “ultra strangers” to him. It was called “Law' of the Jungle.” A few stanzas go as follows:
“When hot for sport and ripe to kill
The average novelist shoots at will
But that my friends, I'm glad to say
Is not the case with Hemingway
Whose sporting life is ever so subtle
Where leopolds roam and lions scuttle
Whose foolery piece doth never bungle
The oldest law of Africa jungle
And only shoots a total stranger.
Ah friends beware the sportsman
Whose four fodled friends are worth a nickel
Whose ethics of the chase are phoney
Whose dachshounds are so much baloney
And clings to Ernest Hemingway
Who writes by night and hunts by day
Whose books with gore are fairly ruddy
But not with gore of pal or buddy
And wh in time f darkest danger
Will overly dominate a stranger.”
“One Man’s Meat”
Dr. McCorkle also read from White's “One Mans Meat,” o aided by the Limited Editors Club as the book which is considered most nearly to alter the statue of a classic.
Excerpts were read from his essay, “Waldon, a humorous comparison of the Waldon home of the American philosopher Henry Thoreau, of the 19th Cen-
tury and the present.
Another excerpt was read from an essay of his boyhood summer vacation home in the woods of Main. The essay gives a vivid sensual description of places around home in his boyhood days and a comparison of the same places today.
New Yorker Worker White has worked most of his literary life for the New Yorker. His pieces have been gathered in a number of volumes: “Is Sex Necessary?” with James Thurber; “Everyday is Saturday.” “One Mans Meat,’ “The Wild Flag.”
With Mrs. White he edited a “Subtreasury of American Humor.” Since 1938 White retured from the New Yorker to his farm in the state of Maine which he calls “only a private zoon since I like to play with animals.”
Next week, selections from Stephen Spender, a modein English Poet, will be read by Dr. William II. Davenport of the English department at the Noon Readings in 129 FH.	i
Thirteen members of the SC family and the academy award "Oscar” won by the Department of Cinema will meet in Fresno tomorrow night for the third in the Fall series of Trojan Caravans.
It will mark the first Caravan visitation to the northern city and is expected to become an annual celebration, according to Caravan Director Allen A. Arthur.

Reservations for the banquet, which will be held at Fresno's 1 Sunnyside Country Club, are expected to reach 250, Arthur revealed.
