Lecturer to Discuss Controversial Death Of Young Romanticist
The complicated and controversial subject of the death of John Keats, English poet of the early 19th century, will be discussed by Dr. Harold E. Briggs, assistant professor of English, at 3:15 tomorrow afternoon in the art and lecture room of the University library.
Entitled "What Killed John Keats?” the lecture will be the third of the current Letters, Arts, and Science series.
Dr. Briggs, who is engaged in writing a biography of Keats, declares that the program has been specifically prepared for students, faculty-members. and outsiders who are interested in the poet. “The discussion,” he said, “will be centered about Keats’ illness and hew it affected him, medically and psychologically.”
MANY FACTORS
“But there are many other factors that entered into his death,” continued Dr. Briggs. “There were the effects of criticism on him, worry over money, a not-too-happy love affair, and the sorrow occasioned by the death of his younger brother, Tom. The thing that is interesting, however, is that we learn a lot about ourselves and about human nature by studying one whose life we know more thoroughly than that of our best friend.
"Thousands of pages have been written by and about Keats, and we can see how things start, develop, and end; modem psychologists cannot know how the case they are treating ends.”
BIOGRAPHICAL STUDY
Dr. Briggs empha.si7.ed the fact that this was to be primarily a biographical study and that Keats’ poetry would only be brought in as a sidelight, as a means of interpreting his life experiences.
Consultant in 19th century English literature for the Modem Language association. Dr. Briggs has published numerous articles in the publications of that organization. Modem Language Quarterly and Modem Language Notes.

Delayed Test Given Today
The Man and civilization la test which was postponed last Monday as a result of the Los Angeles tran-j sit strike will definitely be given today.
1 Although many inconveniences have been imposed on the students and faculty of 3C by the street car and bus tie-up. it has had little effect on attendance. Mr. Russell L. Caldwell, lecturer in speech, who conducts one of the Man and Civilization lectures said, “The 9 and 10 A.m. lectures in Man and Civilization last Monday had negligible absences.” The strike had practically no effect on any of the large classes as far as attendance was concerned.
Although Monday s test was postponed because of anticipated absences, the large attendance convinced the genera! studies department that few will miss today's examination.
It is evident that many SC students are sharing their cars with those students who have no method of getting to school.
Announcement of a new scholarship worth *300 to the student 'who has done the most to promote inter-faith and inter-racial understanding on the campus” at SC was made by Irl G. Whitchurch, dean of the School of Religion yesterday.
The award will,be made annually by Mr. and Mrs. Alfred E. Hart, known for their interest in promoting inter-group understanding, and will be known as the Hart Foundation.
THREE GROUPS ADDED
Identical awards will be made on ! the campus of UCLA and Los Angeles City college.
The original idea of having the scholarship committee, which is made of the advisers of the various religions that are represented on campus, Helen Hall Moreland, dean of women, Carl Hancey, dean of men, and Irl G. Whitchurch, dean of the School of Religion, make ihe award was revised.
DEAN GRATEFUL
“This venture in human understanding seems to me to have special significance at this time," stated Dean Whitchurch, “as it tells of the vision of the people who gave the money in these troubled times.”

Heated Discussion Expected of Ideas !n Political Novel
Continuing the weekly series of reviews of significant contemporary novels, this afternoon at 3:15, in the art and lecture room of the University library, “T h e Anatomy o f Peace,” by Emery Reves, will be interpreted by Dr. Eugene Harley, professor of political science.
Rated an outstanding contribution to contemporary political thought by critics, Reves’ most recent work has been the subject of great controversy. The author's approach in treating the dual topics of war and peace is vigorous, and his ideas are expounded with notable forcefulness.
WAR INEVITABLE Taking a dim view of past and present measures for the prevention of war, Reves declares that capitalism, socialism, and religion have all failed to attain that goal. He also asserts that the United Nations organization will be unable to eliminate war.
World unification is the answer to the problem, according to Reves, who believes that it is an inevitable development, either by lawful process or by conquest,.
Preliminary to the development of his conception of the world state, the author outlines the viewpoint of the different world powers, and concludes that a strong spirit of na-<tioi.«ilism is undesirable. DISTORTED PICTURE “Nothing can distort the true picture ot conditions and events in the world more than to regard one’s own country as the center of the universe, and to view all things solely in their relationship to this fixed point,’’ he asserts.
In support of his contention of the desirability of the evolution of a world state, Reves points out the “fallacies” of internationalism, self-determination of nations, and collective security.
Discussion which will follow Dr. Harley’s interpretation is expected .o be interesting and heated, in view of the wide comment which “The Anatomy of Peace” has inspired.
The meeting is open to the public. and attendants may participate in the discussion.

Truman Averts Airline Strike
CHICAGO. May 7.—(U.R)—The first airline pilots’ strike in the nation's history was scheduled for midnight tonight against Transcontinental and Western Air, Inc., but President Truman look steps to avert it.
The President appointed an emergency board to investigate a wage dispute between 13 airlines and the AFL air line pilots association.
A spokesman said the association had not been advised of the President's action but added that appointment of a board “probably would cancel the TWA strike call.”
The strike would force cancellation of all domestic and overseas flights on TWA’s 28.0C0 mile network. About 1000 pilots woud be affected.
The union is seeking an increase in the maximum annual wage from $13,200 to $16,000 and proportionate increases down the line. David Behncke, associate president, said only a few pilots on TWA's new Constellation and skymaster ships would be eligible for the maximum wage.
