Spanish Gains
Government Reports Win'
In Southwest; Insurgents
Unchecked In Northeast
HENDAYE, France (At the Span-
ish Frontier), Jan. 7-(P)--Spanish
Government and Insurgent commands
tonight reported important successes
on widely separated civil war battle-
fields.
Government forces striking against
General Gonzalo Queipo de Llano's
army in the newly active Southwes-
tern or Estremadura zone announced
recovery in the past two days of a
large section lost to the Insurgents
last summer.
The Insurgents reported their 16-
day campaign in Northeastern Spain,
against Barcelona, Capital of autono-
mous Catdlonia and provisional seat
of the Republican Government, was
unchecked by the diversion attempted
by the Government in the Southwest,
Insurgent advices said no reserves
had been shifted to meet the Tre-
madura offensive. The two fronts are
375 miles apart.
Generalissimo Franco had ordered
the Insurgent fleet from the vicinity
of Gibraltar to support the Cataloni-
an drive poissibly by shelling Tarra-
gona, a major seaport aboutn50 miles
southwest of Barcelona.
Maneuvering by land and sea'
threatened to make Tarragona the
target of a converging land offen-
sive and a naval assault at the same
time.

One Out Of Ten
Students Is Ht
BIyPropaganda
Communist, socialist and fascist
propaganda among college students
is being felt mainly in the East Cen-
tral and Middle Atlantic states ac-
cording to a nation-wide poll taken
by the Student Opinion Surveys of
America.
The Student Opinion Surveys of
America for the first time point out
what the collegians, who are now
supposedly being besiegedwith a mul-
titude of "isms," have to say on the
subject. Although when the results
are taken nationally, one student in
every ten says there has been some
attempt to influence him, the poll
reveals that student bodies in the
West and South are very seldom ap-
proached with such propaganda.
Easterners Influenced
The question, "Has any attempt
been made on your campus to in-
fluence you with communism, social-
ism or fascism?" was put to a care-
fully selected cross-section of stu-
dents of all desciptions by a staff of
interviewers with the following re-
sults: In New England 8.2 per cent
answered "yes" and 91.8 per cent,
"no"; in the Middle Atlantic states
19.5 per cent replied "yes" and 80.5
per cent "no"; in the East Central
States, 12.2 per cent, "yes" and 878
per cent "no"; in the Southern states
5.2 per cent "yes" and 94.8 per cent
"'no"; and in the Far Western states
5.8 per cent "yes" and 94.2 per cent
no.
10:5 Per Cent Affected
In the West Central, Southern and
Far Western states, influence is al-
most negligible. But when all the
results are pooled for the entire coun-
try, sections with much higher per-
centages raise the total figure of
"yes" answers to 10.5 per cent.
On being questioned as to how
they were influenced, the students
named personal contact with other
students as the most frequent way.
Other methods included class discus-
sions, invitations to meetings, print-
ed material and professors who, as a
University of Minnesota freshman
put it, "are so progressive I believe
they tend toward communism."
White To Talk On
'Plastics' Tuesday
"Plastics" and their electronic and
molecular arrangement is the sub-
ject of a talk which will be given by
Prof. Alfred H. White, chairman of
the chemical engineering department
before Sigma Rho Tau, honorary en-
gineering speech society, at 7:30 p.m.
Tuesday in Room 319-25 of the Union.
As Lt. Col. and Associate Chief of
the Nitrate Division, Professor White
was largely responsible for the or-
ganization of the Muscle Shoals
plant. He has 10 U.S. patents on
subjects connected with gas manu-
facture, water purification and utili-
zation of waste liquors from pulp
mills, and is the author of a text as
well as about 60 research papers.
II Duce Slated To Help
Jews Leave Germany
ROME, Jan. 7 -()- American
circles are looking to Premier Benito
Mussolini for help in getting Jews out
of Germany.
It was thought Italian officials
might discuss a solution of the Jewish
problem with Walther Funk, Ger-
many's Minister of Economics, who
arrived today for talks with leaders
in finance and economics.
Among those who greeted Funk
was Felice Guarnieri, Italian Minis-

ter of Finance.
The German's conversations will
deal chiefly with t1alo-German trade
relations. They were expected to last
three days.
