ITALIAN PAPERS
 RENEWATTACKS
Campaign Against France, Great Britain Is Again
 Out in Open ss.
BY JOSEPH B. RAvoTTo

(United Press staN Corresp0ndent)
 Rome, Feb. i3-(UP) - Italian newspapers returned to their cam paign against France and Great Britain today after but brief in- terlude caused by the Pope's death It had been predicted in foreign ca- pitals that Q considerable truce would follow the Pope's death. But in presumable confirmation of Pre- mier Benito Mussolinis determin- ation to push his campaign for realization of 'Italy's aspirations J the truce proved 0 short one. Not only editorials in the newspapers, closely supervised, but dispatches from European capitals showed dis trust and bitterness particularly as the result of British and French negotiations with the Spanish Ma tionalists. The Democratic govern ments were suspected of ulteriof motives in their approaches to the Nationalists after their long refusal to recognize them. Also hints that the Nationalists would be recognized fully by Britain and France after all foreign troops had left Spain were of particular interest to Fas- cists.
 Italian Troops Remain
 virginio Gayda, often regarded as a mouthpiece for the foreign office reiterated in Voce D'Italia. the weekly edition of his Giornale D. Italia, that Italian troops would res main in Spain until the Nationalist had won a complete political vic. tory"
 This statement recently caused anxiety in London, and was under. stood to have led to an official res quest for a definition of 8 politica! victory as opposed to a military one.
 Gayda in the new article said:
 Italy intends to assist Gen Francisco Franco wherever 1t is found necessary to defend his mill tary victory which is still threat.

HOW 1T HAPPENED
"Kun Little ChilluH'" is the
brain child of Hall Johnson ma
tionally famous choir leader, now
residing in Los Angeles. It was
e feeling of altruism that promp-
ed Mr.. Johnson to write this
play. In 1882, many persons in
Harlem attracted by the glamour
of his wax and driven by pre-
vailing lack of employment came
to rehearsals and asked for trials.
He divided them in groups under
older members of the choir. And
soon found himself with a choir
training school on his hands. To-
defray expenses, he formed a male
sextet that appeared on the radio.
Ho purchased a book for self
instruction and taught himself to
play well enough at the end OF
a year to play second violin in a
l. cal dance orchestra. At 20, he
had his first violin lesson at the
Hahn school of Music in Philadel-
phia In 1909 he entered the theory
classes at the University of Penn
slyvania, and because of his
knowledge learned through self
instruction completed a four years
course in a summer ana a full
year.
A tall lanky mar with light
brown skin, Mr.. Johns''n is a iypi-
cal artist in every sense of the
word. He is unassuming, modest
and n~cnchalant. His conservation
is incoherent-his mind SO wrap
ped up in his word. His mode OF
living is typical A La Greenwich
Vaillge. He resides in a bungalow
court which reminds one vaguely
If the artists conoly in New York.
As one approaches the court. mu-
sic emanating from his cottage
catches ones hear. Upon entering
one is reminded of Green
witch Village. Every chair and
table is filled with music and
books. A chair is cleared for you
to sit upon. If yea ask for some
thing, he reaches over, and like
a magician who pulls a rabbit
out of his hat, puts his hands on
what you want Out of somewhere
or other, members of his choir,
appear. They are just a jolly set
of typical artists. They regard
Mr.. j. hnson as a colleague rather
than as a boss, they work with
rather than for him.
HIS NAME WILL GO DOWN
In addition to having his name
go down in posterity as choir di-
rector, composer, and arranger,

will always be in the MEM ny of
future generations will be his
