Times vs. Topping: a branch in Britain?
USC has definite plans to establish a branch campus in England, reported the Los Angeles Times yesterday.
USC has no definite plans to establish a branch campus in England, countered Dr. Norman Topping.
“The L.A. Times received an Associated Press release from London saying that USC, the University of Chicago and several other universities were interested in establishing schools in Cambridge,” he said. “Actually, this release was a bit of real estate promotion to perhaps get other American schools interested in the Chestnut Theological College in Cambridge, which is no longer being used.”
FUTURE UNKNOWN
The Board of Trustees at Chestnut has not yet decided exactly what will be done with the school, a three-story. U-shaped structure. A vote will determine whether the campus will be sold or leased.
Use of the college was discontinued because its function has been transferred to another unit of the Cambridge complex.
Dr. Topping pointed out that “for USC to establish a campus at Cam-
Phillip Watson slated to speak at tax institute
County Assessor Phillip E. Watson and five other tax experts will discuss the taxation problems of California today in Bovard Auditorium from 9 to 11:30 a.m.. as part of the 19th annual Institute on Federal Taxation.
The main topic of discussion will be the growing significance of property taxation, which may soon rival California's highest, the state income tax.
Sharing the platform with Watson will be James R. Vine, chief deputy assessor, Gerald W. Miller, assistant assessor for Los Angeles County, William C. Miller, certified public accountant, Francis H. O’Neil, attorney, and Thurston H. Ross. Sr., member of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers
In addition to real and personal property taxation, the panel will also discuss the significant 1966 legislative changes in California to standardize assessment procedures.
Irving I. Axelrad, Los Angeles attorney, will be the chairman and moderator. He formerly was a special assistant to the attorney general in the tax division of the U.S. Department of Justice.
The Taxation Institute is in its second day of the three-day program sponsored by the USC Law Center.
bridge, a great deal of planning would be involved. Arrangement would need to be made with, for instance, LAS to provide a worthwhile program for students. A faculty would need to be secured. And how many students would be interested in studying in England and able to afford the expenses?”
It is true, however, that a USC official went to England to survey the old campus, but outside of that, USC has made no attempt to secure the facility.
The Chestnut Theological College in Cambridge was founded in 1768 by the countess of Huntingdon to train
clergy for Protestant Evangelical churches. The present structure was built in 1913 as an adjunct to the original school.
Should USC secure the old school, it would operate in a manner similar to USC's present overseas campus in Vienna. Austria. Several students and faculty members travel there each summer for a combined program of travel and study.
The interest of other colleges in the Chestnut school results from the increasing trend toward full-year overseas study programs sponsored by major universities across the country.

Chinas Red Guard a crazy nightmare
Youths in Communist China perpetrating the Red Guard movement have been compared by some to the restless student activists on American college campuses today.
Madame Chiang Kai-Shek, in a speech Wednesday, did not agree, but instead called the Red Guard a “frenetic nightmare in a convulsion on the mainland'' which naay make Peiping the ultimate key in forming w'orld peace.
Madame Chiang spoke before a joint World Affairs Council-Town Hall luncheon in the Beverly Hilton Hotel's International Ballroom.
She cited the attempts of the zealous Red Guard in their “cultural revolution” as an attempt to save face “for the humiliation suffered in the Boxer Uprising of 1900.”
Madame Chiang arrived in Los Angeles Tuesday night aboard a Nationalist Chinese Air Force plane, concluding a year-long visit to the United States.
She also spoke on the subject of Peiping dominance of Hanoi and the Vietnam War. “The United States has with infinite patience and an ever-smiling visage favored every gratuit-
ous insult from the Chinese Communists,” she said.
“But the grandiose desire for world Communist domination by the Red Chinese leaders, makes timid tractibility unworkable,” she added.
Madame Chiang told the audience that Peiping wrants the Vietnam War to continue as part of its plan for world revolution.
Discussing the break between the world's two large Communist powers, the wife of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek said this enmity brings about a problem with geo-political dimensions
“Communist China, on Russia's southeastern border, will be a constant irksome threat and headache to the Kremlin, for Russia has found to her chagrin that China cannot be made a satellite,” Madame Chiang explained.
Madame Chiang emphasized that China has ceased to be the dumb, burly errand boy who answers every bid of its older brother, Russia.
“In addition,” she added, “the growth of Communist China keeps alive a reminder to the satellite nations that there is an alternative to Russian domination.”

that the present controller’s political machine of inheritance tax appraisers. siphons off over S3 million from the estates of those who die.
“No public official, including myself. should have such a plush fund to distribute to his political friends at the expense of the taxpayers,” he said.
Candidate Flournoy proposes to substitute a self - appraisal program which will save the inheritance taxpayers thousands of dollars by eliminating politics from the system.
Flournoy maintains that it is dangerous and absurd to propose that all control over our schools must be centralized in Sacramento to relieve the taxpayer. “Control over schools must remain at the local level.”
