Kennedy spoke at a news con ference shortly after the State De- [irtment reported Communist tia had spurned the Kennedy itainistration’s initial attempt to mow the bitter gulf between the ijo countries.

Reject Pleas The Reds also rejected U.S. fa for freeing the five Ameri- as held in Red Chinese jails, and they declined to renounce use of force against Formosa. Asked if he had hoped to move toward more harmonious relations with Communist China, Kennedy replied: “That was our hope. They are unwilling to do that.” He added: “They (the Red Chinese) have been, as we know, extremely bel ligerent toward us, and they have been unfailing in their attacks up on the United States. Of course, I think part of that has been be cause they recognize that the United States is committed to its own defense and the defense of freedom.

That was our hope from the beginning. “But we are not prepared to surrender in order to get a relaxa tion of that.” ganized crime and corruption.” The most controversial issue Wednesday was the position of candidates’ names on the ballots in different counties. Maury Mav erick Jr. of San Antonio took a stand for the alphabetical order as the only way voters “can track their man down.” “I believe that the Maverick voters will come looking for ine,” he said. Supporters of U.S. Sen. William Blakley of Dallas also called for the alphabetical order. Wilson’s workers urged county election of ficials to draw lots “in fairness to all of the candidates.” State Sen. Henry B. Gonzalez wants to place the candidates in the order they paid their filing fees. Gonzalez was the second of 71 candidates to file. In a Fort Worth sneech, Wright quoted Rudyard Kipling and Wil liam Shakespeare. In discussing standards of political conduct he recited lines containing Kipling’s “If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,” and Shake speare’s “. . . to thine own self be true.” Verbal Poke He also took a verbal poke at Blakley. Wright said in a prepared speech “our interim senator in Dallas last Saturday joked about unemployment and boasted that he has found only one item on which he could vote with the Pres ident . . . the confirmation of one appointment.” Maverick, in Temple, called for distribution of U.S. farm surpluses abroad and the protection of farm ers from “price-manipulating mid dlemen.” L R. Advises Qualified Help According to the Internal Reve nue Service, taxpayers seeking help in preparing their 1960 re turns should consult only qualified sources. Members of the accounting and legal professions usually provide top-notch assistance, an IRS rep resentative noted. Frequently, taxpayers find busi ness associates in their bookkeep ing and accounting departments, and in banks or other financial in stitutions are qualified to help them, he said. The IRS representative suggests that taxpayers 'seeking assistance of a tax advisor in the preparation of their returns should: 1. Be sure the advisor has a permanent place of business or ad dress where he can be reached in case IRS subsequently questions data on the return. You are re sponsible for the information on your return and you may need to counsel with the person who pre pared it if question arise later. 2. If a refund is involved, insist that the refund check be sent to you, except where circumstances require a power of attorney rela tionship. 3. Beware of those advisors who claim the ability to get large re funds, or who ask a percentage of an anticipated refund as a fee; and 4. Reject those advisors who suggest claiming dependents or de ductions to which you are not en titled. THE BATTALION Thursday March 9,1961 College Station, Texas Page 3 BRITISH PACIFISTS UNIMPRESSED Submarine Breaks Underwater Record By The Associated Press HOLY LOCH, Scotland—The U.S. nuclear submarine Patrick Henry proudly sailed into Holy Loch Wednesday with a world un derwater cruising record of 66 days and' 22 hours. Four British pacifists were un impressed. By canoe and rowboat they moved out toward the great ship but were shooed off by Brit ish launches. One demonstrator's canoe sank. He was hauled out of the water and arrested for dis turbing the peace. The Patrick Henry—with a full load of 16 Polaris missiles aboard —eclipsed the old mark of 66 days set by a sister submarine, the George V/ashington. Efficiently and quickly the Pat rick Henry moored alongside the depot ship Proteus to take on a relief crew and fresh supplies. The Patrick Henry is the first American Polaris submarine to ar r rive in the Holy Loch. Basing facilities are provided under a re cent U.S.-British agreement that has touched off “ban the bomb” demonstrations from Scotland to London. Sailors aboard the Proteus lined the rail and gave a hearty cheer for the Patrick Henry as the sub marine glided in through the early morning mist. Happy crewman on the subma rine, wearing red and yellow life jackets, balanced on the black hull and waved back. The Patrick Henry made the 11,000-mile cruise from Charles ton, S.C., with 140 men aboax-d— 13 officers, 122 enlisted men and five civilians representing manu facturers of some of the equip ment. The commanding officer, Capt. Harold E. Shear, said the voyage was made under fully armed pa trol conditions with the submarine capabfa of launching the missiles at any time. Liz Shows Improvement By The Associated Press LONDON—Film actress Eliza beth Taylor was on the road to recovei’y Wednesday from a nearly, fatal bout of double pneumonia, her doctors said. Dr. Victor Ratner, one of a team of seven medical men who have been treating the brunette star since she was stricken Fri day, told a reporter: “Miss Taylor is definitely im proving. She is still, of course, on the danger list but I would not describe her condition right now as critical.” Ratner said Miss Taylor’s tem perature, which x-eached 103 de grees, “is now near normal—in fact, only slightly over 99.” Nor- ! mal temperature is 98.6. Ratner said the 29-yeax , -old Hol lywood star is still using an arti ficial breathing apparatus and is being fed intravenously thx’ough axx ankle. “We are all much encouraged.
