TONIGHT (Friday, Feb. 26th) GRANGE HALL First Scots Volunteer Returns From Madrid Son of Rear Admiral Was Reported Dead Reported dead, David Macken- zie, 20-year-old son of Rear Ad- miral W. B. Mackenzie, first Scot to volunteer for service with Spanish Popular Front govern- ment forces, has returned to Edinburgh with a stirring story of the present conflict. “One of the most heartening ex- periences for me,’ he states, “was to see the grand way in which Brit- ish and especially Scottish, volun- teers poured into the ranks of the International division, for I felt T was a pioneer of my race in that body. “The British unit was formerly part of the German unit, but such are the numbers of Britons now available that-a separate fighting unit has been formed. A British artillery unit is also being built. @f the Scots there are many lads from Glasgow, and Edinburgh is well represented. The feeling in the governmnet forces is that the rebel resistance must inevitably fold up,” young Mackenzie says, “and when the crack takes place the war will be over in a matter of days.” Referring to his reported death, he said that he and John Sommer- field, young English author, were separated from their section dur- ing the fighting around University City and the report of their deaths was sent out before other mem- bers of the section came up to their position. ‘Dud’ Shells. “The great trouble is that friends sand foes are still very much mixed up,” reports the young Scotsman. “There are Many cases of enemy sabotage. “We were puzzled at first when we noticed that about half of the shelis sent over by rebel artillery were ‘duds.’. Shells were bursting and sending out nothing more dan- gerous that pieces of wood. Shrap- nel shelis yvould burst with a great roar, but no shrapnel would be in evidence. “We learned that this was the work of government sympathizers in rebel batteries who are tamper- ing with enemy shells to the ex- tent that we could be sure that every second burst would do no harm. “On the other hand. it was _ne- ecessary for government soldiers to shoot an artillery and tans mander who proved to be rebel sympathizers, so that no one is be- lieved to be entirely reliable until he proves himself so.” Class Of ’29 True To Life AKRON, Ohio (FP) — Replying to critics who claimed that Class of 729. Federal Theatre production, was seditious, Weathervane Play- ers, local theatre group, issued 4 questionnaire to graduates of the elass of 1929 of Akron University. Results of the questionnaire indi- eated that lack of opportunity and employment depicted in the play found its corollary in the lives of graduates polled. Thirty-five graduates were asked whether they stepped into posi- tions for which they had been pre- pared; if they had been forced to accept a makeshift job; and if they had obtained any job at all. Of the 19 who answered, ten said they were forced to take odd jobs, five stepped into their chosen field immediately but were later released, two found no jobs at all, and only two obtained permanent jobs in their chosen profession.
