FW-ASCH-7RR-1444 contains a short dramatic reading, about an American volunteer in the Spanish Civil War. Probably, it is a reading from the novel, "For Whom the Bell Tolls" by Ernest Hemingway. Told in the first person, the speaker is rather bitter and sad about the loss of Spain to the fascist generals, but he is ultimately confident that fascism will eventually be defeated. During the Spanish Civil War, Hemingway was a reporter in Spain. The back of the tape box says, "Hemingway" and "transfer from 13" 78 rpm. Apparently, the recording was not used by Folkways. The reader is not identified and further information isn't provided.
