Reassem bling today to enact plans for ridding warring Spain of for eign troops, the Spanish neu trality subcommittee was con fronted with the possibility that Russia would refuse to cooper ate. Diplomats stationed in Lon don as representatives of the principal European powers were not concerned about Russia's ac tions. They actually headed the day's discussions in an atmos phere more optimistic than any since the Spanish war broke out 15 months ago. British and French ambassa dors acted together before the .subcommittee met in an effort to urge the Spanish insurgents to be lenient in their treatment of government troops captured in the fall of Gijon. . , Three predictions of eventual harmony among the nine pow ers represented: 1. British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's virtual assurance that Britain was de termined not to go to war. 4. WIctmUtMliUIl CLctLtUIieilU that he had received assurances that Italy had no territorial de signs on Spain, including the Balearic islands in the western Mediterranean. 3. The fact that the Spanish insurgents aided by - Italian and German interventionhad captured Gijon, center of the Valencia republican govern governmerit's last resistance in the Spanish northwest. The fall of Gijon will release thousands of insurgent troops for possibly a conclusive drive against the Valencia armies. Some felt that it may be im possible to get Russia to grant belligerent rights to the warring forces in Spain before all for eigners are withdrawn. This proposal won Italy and Germany to support the plan. SIN04APS AGAIN LOCKED IN CONFLICT Shanghai, Oct. 22. Along the 25 mile Shanghai front to day the Chinese and Japanese troops were again locked in a heavy battle with both sides claiming gains. , , Due to the confusion of at tacks and counter-attacks it was almost impossible for foreign observers to determine the exacl .situation. At middav it was announced V by a Japanese spokesman, that the Japanese had. forced the Chinese back several hundred . yards to occupy an important Unnese defense position, Position, Kwangfu. Chinese also made statements that the Chinese were on the of fensive and had forced Jap anese troops back at this same point.

The job is no small one to build the scenery for what he vehemently says is "the biggest thing the Playmakers have ever done." Approaching Mr. Davis in his lair is a ticklish business. If he doesn't load you down with lum ber and tools and tell you to get to work, he will walk all over your person while he tells you about the seven-page prop list which calls for everything from a Luger pistol to a peace monu ment. Scenery The scenery itself, however, is causing him the greatest con cern.

Some 22, 000 spectators are expected to witness the feature of Carolina's annual Homecoming Day. Tulane has been installed as a slight favorite by national prognosticators of the gridiron sport, but opinion in the south seems to mark the contest as a toss-up.
