Literature Offers Clues To Strife
An interpretation of the background of the Spanish civil war as levcaled in Spanish literature will bs the theme of Professor John F. Griffiths’ Wednesday lecture this Fftrmcon at 4:30 in the art and lecture room of Doheny library.
Sneaking on “Preludes to Civil Strife in Spanish Literature.-’ Pro-iessor Griffiths will examine the woiks of Spanish authors, from medieval times to the present in order to show the concurrent development cf social, cultural,- and economic life in Spain, as well as the part played by literature in determining the social attitude of the people. TYPES OF OPPRESSION
Especially empnasized by Professor Griffith;; will be those writers in various periods of Spanish history who showed cl:arly in their t.t. lings that they realized with a critical sence what was being developed in the way of social and spiritual oppression of the masses by ferial lords and monarchists.
Also to be examined are the writing of authors who strove to develop a ocial consciousness in various c cvn trodden clrsces of Spanish sore iy that would create a check to th"' forces cf oporession.
'ror?ssor Griffiths points out pr other c,ro'.’,p ol writers who endea-\c ed to b.ild up a revolutionary jp rit, believing that only through fo ce couid the mas*es gain control of th3ir own country.
E. RLY SP WISH LIFE
Tracing the st?ps leading up to prrseni civ;l strife, Prrfersor Griffiths will describe early Spanish life in whnh there was a struggle be-tw ran the f udalisi end monarchists wi h the mr ?ses serving as a cushion for one grov.p or the o^her, until the church finrily emerged as a unifying factor. Th? result was, in Professor Griffiths opinion, a factional combination that was able to maintain the trrditional order of things in the national life of Spain with f2" • interruptions, until the coming cf the republic in 1931
Finally. Professor Griffiths will sh^w hew the traditional forces of th? order objected to the changes hrtituted t" the republican government—objected so much that they were willing to go to war about it.

Nazi-Fascist Attempt To Delay War Action Is Halted by Parley
LONDON, Nov. 2—< ILE i—Efforts by Europe's Nazi-Fascist bloc to delay withdrawal of foreign “volunteers” from Spain, until the Insurgents’ big Aragon offensive is completed, received a set-back today in the non-intervention committee.
A special sub-committee of nine nations overrode Italian and German demands for a unanimous vote on a draft resolution and voted to send it to the plenary committee Thursday.
RUSSIA ASSAILS ITALY
Soviet Russia, bitterly assailing Italy for using “a new device designed to prolong indefinitely our talks and thus gain time for reinforcing the insurgents,” was permitted to abstain from voting.
The draft resolution, providing for neutral commissions on the Loyalist and Insurgent battefronts fco take a census of foreign combatants, was opposed by Russia because it called for simultaneous consideration of belligerency rights for both Spanish factions
The resolution will be placed before the full non-intervention committee of delegates of 27 nations. PLYMOUTH HEADS GROUP
Lord Plymouth, British chairman of the non-intervention group, probably will be given authorization to approach each Spanish side and ask their consent for the “volunteers"
withdrawal scheme.
The committee's decision to approve the resolution without a unanimous vote was regarded as a direct blow to the delegates of Germany. Italy, and Portugal, who sought to force Russia's submission to the behgereney plan or drive the Soviets from the committee.

La Guardia Re-elected For Four More Years,-Tammany Defeated
NEW YORK. 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. He was backed

Works of Eccentric Poetess Are Offered During Assembly Period
The poetry of Amy Lowell will be read by Dr. Frank Baxter of the English department during assembly period today.
Of Amy Lowell. Dr. Baxter says:
“All the things that made us conscious of her presence <the witty retorts, the famous black cigars that she smoked, the bullying way with little poetasters, and the heavy handed scourging of critics) aie nearly forgotten now, and we can examine her work to see what it has of lasting truth and beauty.”
YEARS OF STUDY There is still no better free verse than Amy Lowell’s, according to Dr.
Baxter. 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.

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

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.
