Writer Spent Mony
Years in America
BY the Assoeiused Press

ROME. Sept. 27.-George San
tayana. 88. philosopher and poet
who ranked as one of the 10th
century's greatest thinkers, died
here last night in a Catholic con-
vent.
The brilliant Spanish writer,
who spent many years in America,
died in the sheltered solitude in
which he had lived during the
final quarter century of his life.
During the past few years, age
had enfeebled him, but lis
philosophers mind had stayed
sharp and alert. His final book
and one Of the most important
'Dominations and Powers" was
completed and published only last
year.
Mr.. Santayana died at the clinic
of the Little Company of Mary
overlooking the ancient Roman
Colosseum. The clinic had been
his home here for the past Is
years.
Always Spanish Subject.
The famed philosopher was born
in Madrid December 16. 1853. He
lived in the United States from
the time he was 9 years old until
1911. Practically his whole life
was spent outside Spain, but he
was Spanish subject to the end.
He attended Brimmer School,
Boston Latin School and Harvard
University and from 1899 to 1911
was a professor of philosophy at
Harvard. He then returned to
Europe to lecture at Oxford Uni
versity. England, and the Sor-
bonne in France.
As a child Mr.. Santayana chose
the life of a scholar. He played
no games. but stayed at home,
reading and drawing. He never
used typewriter, never drove an
automobile. never danced, never
played musical instrument and
never built anything. He also
never married. In later years he
said he once considered becoming
an architect or painter.
At the clinic here he lived q
life. But until his health
began to fail he enjoyed enter
tanning visitors in his room, hold
ing a kind Of Socratic "open
house" for any one who wanted
to chat with him.

Urged by Truman al

Efforts to build a Washington
opera house had new impetus
today-from President Truman.
Mr.. Truman strongly urged a
big auditorium, opera house and
music hall for the Capital yes
terday. He also said he hopes to
see the National Symphony Or
lchestra become zone of the great
symphony orchestras of the world"
The President delved into, the
musical subjects in which he said
he is "very much interested" at
Ia luncheon launching ticket sales
for the National Symptoms new
season.
Suggests World Center.
He said the city should have
an auditorium seating 10000. with
a music hall and opera house in
addition. He said it should be
developed into the worlds greatest
music center.

interested in a move started last
spring to build an opera house.

expected to press their efforts

Mr.. Truman, in his talk. re-
called that, as a Senator, he had
helped push through the Senate

ciate the fact that Washington
was to be the capital of the
world" .....
The President contrasted facili-
ties here with those he has seen
in Mexico City, Rio de Janeiro and

There isn't a reason in the
world why Washington shouldn't
have a place where the greatest
symphony in the world can play
for the public"

dent, expressing appreciation for
