TranSlatOrS Lean
Towards American
BeSt-SenerS'

TOKYO, Japan, Oct. 21-The age
of American literature is coming to
Japan, according to the consensus
of Japan's book publishers. Many of
the larger advertisements of new
books in the Japanese newspapers
concern translations, especially tran
stations of American literature.
There is a distinct tendency for
translators to concentrate on Ameri-
can beSt-sellers.
The popularity of some transla-
tions of foreign literature owes much
to the film versions of the stories.
In this category of translations is
Little Women" by Louisa Alcott,
the publication Of whose translation
was timed with the release of the
technicolor picture Of the story.
Among the works which are
thought to have been selected by the
translators for their merits are
"Kingsblood Royal" by Sinclair Le-
wis and THE Last Chapter" by
Ernie Pyle.
The list of American books which
have been translated since the end
| of the war suggests that there are
many splendid American books
which have yet to be introduced to
the Japanese. Among such books are
works by Theodore Dresser and Sim
clair Lewis, who were-active during
the '20's, by Ernest Hemingway,
John Steinbeck, John dos PaSSos
and others who represented the main
| currents of American literature dur
| ing the '30's. There are the writer's
who developed American literature
into what it is, comparing favorably
with the best English and French
literature.
Donald Richie, literary critic, in
his book on contemporary American
literature which has been translated
gives five books as representing the
best literary efforts of Americans in
the goth century. The books are
'U.SA." by Dos Passos, "Absolom'
by William Faulkner, Rabbit" by
Sinclair Lewis, Grapes of Wrath
by John Steinbeck, and short stories
by Ernest Hemingway.
The American novelist who is en-
joying the greatest popularity Of any
American writer with the Japanese
is Steinbeck. A translation Of his
Grapes of Wrath was published
before the war. Japanese publishing
companies have vainly tried to make
An arrangement for the translation
of some of his recent novels. Not
one Steinbeck novel has been trans
lated since the war.
There has been decline in the
quality of translations. The whole
| situation arises from the inability
of publishing companies to pay an
adequate amount of money in royal
ties on translations. This inability in
turn is due to the fact that they
have to pay high rates of royalties
to the owners of the originals copy
rights. Publishing companies would
not be able to publish well-paid
translations unless payments to the
owners of the copyrights of originals
are limited to somewhere between
five and eight per cent.

South Korea.
President Syngman Rhee of the

Second Destroyer Damaged By Floating Mine

WASHINGTON, (P)-A second American destroyer has been damaged by mine explosion off the coast of North Korea. the navy announced late Monday. It said the U.S.S. Mansfield struck mine last Saturday and that seven men were injured. The incident was located 40 or 50 miles north of the 37th parallel and off the east coast of Korea.
 The skipper of the Mansfield is Cmdr. Edwin H. Headland, Jr., Tacoma, Wash.
 Admiral Forrest P. Sherman, chief of naval operations, told the House armed services committee Monday that "a great many" float ing mines of Russian type have been found in Korean waters.
 The navy had said earlier that the destroyer Brush was damaged when it hit mine in the area last Wednesday. The toll in that ex- plosion, revised Monday, was II men dead, 10 injured and three missing.
 The navy said the Mansfield, af- ter emergency repairs, made port at Sasebo, Japan, as the Brush had done.
 Meanwhile, a navy spokesman said that "no evidence is in hand that any submarine or submersible was sunk or damaged by U. N. forces"
 This was in reply to Congress mems questions aboue reports that a U. s. ship had sunk a submarine in Korean waters.

Korean Situation At A Glance -..
Tuesday. October 3. 1850 (By Russel Brines)

TOKYO, (P)-The Far East Air Force reported Allied warplanes pounded heavy traffic columns rolling southward today in Red Korea from Communist China's Manchuria border.
 The reports came as South Ko- reans pierced nearly 50 miles northward into Red Korea on a drive aimed to carry all the way to the Manchuria frontier.
 Then the South Korean pene- tration army commander confer red urgently with two top U. S. generals who flew to Koryo air field, just south of the parallel 38 border on Korea's east coast, to meet him.
 Pilots making the strike along the international highway to the North Korean capital of Pyong- yang reported they destroyed 56 trucks and five other vehicles.
 They claimed damage on 12 other trucks and a dozen other vehicles.
 The increased traffic on the road from Antung, Manchuria, to Pyongyang was first noted Mon day evening, an airforce spokes- man said.
 At midnight, B-26 night intrud- CT planes failed to find any trace of the vehicle columns.
 Fighter-bombers were sent to the area shortly after dawn Tues day. The first flight failed to sight

Yankees Favored In World Series

NEW YORK, (P) - Baseball's brain trust-the major league managers - yesterday lined up about three to one behind the New York Yankees to win the world series.
 But Philadelphia's Ph Hi e S found strong support in the Ma tional leagues 1850 Brides Maids"-Brooklyn Burt Shotton and Leo Durocher of the New York Giants.
 Shotton and Durocher both pre- dicted the Phillies' tight-squeak finish would provide psycholGg- ical lift that would propel them past the confident Yankees.
 ''In seven games," said Burt.
 Eight of the managers, heading for the opening game in Philadel- phia or relaxing at home yester- day, said the New Workers had toe much sock and savvy for Bob Car penter's youngsters.
 Three-The Phillies' Eddie Saw yer naturally joining Shotton and Durocher - picked the National league champs.
 Jonnie Mack, A m eri c n Leaguer and Philadelphian deftly evaded the question:
 "I'm neutral" he said.
 The four other shippers were in transit somewher and not avail able for comment.
 Lou Bourdreau of Cleveland and Zack Taylor of the St. Louis Browns said flatly New York would win in five games. Others hedged a bit.
