Nov- 2—(ILE)—Fu-sionist Mayor Fiorello H LaGuardia was reelected mayor of New’ York tonight in an election that insured at least four lean years for Tammany Hall and by some was considered its doom as a dominant force in New York politics. He carried into office with him Thomas E. Dewey, special rackets prosecutor, whose election as New York county district attorney was conceded by his Tammany opponent, Harold W. Hastings. OVERWHELMING FAVORITE Indications were ^hat the total vote would give LaGuardia, an overwhelming favorite in pre-election forecasts, a plurality of 400,000 votes. The LaGuardia victory, accomplished in the face of charges of Communism launched by Mahoney early in the campaign and continued despite the warnings of his advisers, was made with the backing of Conservatives and Laborites who joined in endorsing him on his administrative record.

It is interesting that behind her free rhythms ’ay long years of poetic discipline in the old traditional verse forms. She was a sensitive and a bold artist, and she knew her craft. In her books we meet much that is true and fine. Amy Lowell was born February 9, 1874, at Brookline. Mass . and was the youngest of five children. At the age of eight she Was taken abroad and rushed through Scotland, England, France. Belgium. Holland. Italy, Germany, Norway, Denmark, and Sweden. The trip excited her so much that she became seriously ill. CHILDHOOD IDEAS Ever since her childhood. Amy Lowell had entertained vague ideas of becoming an author, but made no serious attempt to write poetry un- i til her twenty-eighth year. “About 1902 I discovered that poetry was my natural mode of expression,” writes Amy Lowell, “and from that moment I began to devote myself to it seriously, studying chosen as representative of the as hard as possible, and endeavor- chamber music so popular during FRANCO LOSES CONTROL OF KEY HIGHWAY HENDAYE, Franco-Spanish Frontier, Nov. 2—(ILE)—Guerilla bands of Asturian miners were reported tonight to have revolted against Generalissimo Francisco Franco’s insurgent command i n northwest Spain, and to be holding the strategic Ujo-San Justo highway. The surprise .counter-assault of the remnants of the Asturian Loyalist army, conquered last month. Was luaunched in the craggy Europa mountains, near Oviedo. The guerillas, massing at Sama de Langreo. withheld their attack until Franco had dispatched his Navarre Requete (Monarchist) brigades to the eastern Aragon front after the “mop up” of Asturias province. The insurgent headquarters at Gijon, on the Biscay coast, rushed reinforcements to the Pena Mayor sector around Oviedo where the Asturians were said to be putting up a stiff fight. The Ujo-San Justo highway, strategic line of communication between Franco’s Leon base to the south and Asturias province, Was described as being under the raking fire of Loyalist machine guns.

BRAHMS VARIATIONS The theme of the “Variations of a Theme of Haydn” by Brahms Was taken from a collection of Haydn’s work. Brahms preserved the character of the music, but softened the scoring so that it became suitable for use as chamber music. The recording was made by the New York Philharmonic orchestra under the direction of Arturo Toscanini. Prof. Pauline Alderman, director of the weekly Listening Hour programs, has announced that scores of the three compositions wrill be available at the door to students who wish to read the music as it is played Eugene Wolman, 25-year-old UJS. C. graduate, w'ho experienced “days of continuous fighting with almost no sleep, and writhout food and water,” was killed on the battlefield while fighting for the Spanish government. It was just revealed that he fell on the Brunete front last July 23 News of Eugene’s death was sent in a letter written by another Los Angeles man who fought by his side and who was later wounded. The letter was received here by Roy Spector, secretary of the local lodge 1549 of the Steel Workers Organizing committee. Both men were active members of the committee before they sailed for Spain last March to fight for the Loyalists. CAME TO U.S.C. IN J3 Wolman came to the University of Southem California in September 1933 as a transfer from Amherst college in Massachusetts. While a student here he majored in philosophy and was a member of the Argonauts chapter of Pi EpsUon Theta, national honorary philosophy. He graduated in June 1936 with a good scholastic record. Dr. Ralph Tyler Flewelling, director of the School of Philosophy, who taught Eugene in several of hls classes, said that he was a good scholar- Dr. Flewelling said he knew that Eugene wanted to travel. In the summer of 1934. Dr. Flewelling and his wife saw Eugene and another U.S.C. student at Le Havre in France. The boys said that they had worked their passage over on a steamer. RUSSIA WAS GOAL Russia was one of Eugene's goals, but it is not known whether he ever went there, or was on his way to the Soviet nation When he stopped in Spain. After graduation from the university, Wolman worked for the American Can company here and became active in the union. He formerly lived at 925 West 41st drive, where neighbors said that he Wa* a quiet, studious man, who kept to himself most erf the time-Spector said that the letter telling of Eugene’s death was a personal one and refused to make puWic the name of the writer. LETTER QUOTED The letter said: “Qene fell at Brunete front J’tly 23. Our brigade Was at the front from July 5 to July 27. There was days of continuous fighting with almost no sleep, sometimes two or three hours, sometimes none at aM. They were days writhout food and days without water, but it is surprising how, when you fight for a cause that is just, you can overcome fatigue and the needs of the body. “The Fascists brought out their shock troop6 to halt our advance and I can soy without false modesty that I was very proud of the Oeorge Washington battalion of which we were members. It was formed with green troops, international volunteers, most of whom had never had a rifle in their hands before coming to Spain. And Brunete was as good fighting as the best.” Spector said that the letter was written from a Spanish Loyalist hospital. The unnamed author was wounded September 4, he said.
