PHONE 1178 PIERCE FREIGHT LINES Our 26fh Year Vaslav Nijinsky, Famous Dancer, Taken By Death i LONDON. April . (. Vas lav Nijinsky, 60, one of the world's greatest dancers, died in a London clinic today. He had been insane for 31 years. I He wss admitted to the clinic Thursday suffering from nephritis, an inflamation of the kidneys. A member of the family said that was the csuse of desth. Nijinsky, a native of Russia, hsd come to England in his long search for mental health. Hia mind snapped in 1919, when he was at the height of his career. Many critics unhesitatingly called him the greatest dancer who ever lived. j His devoted wife, Romola, had nursed him throughout hia long years of mental darkness. i Nijinsky was born in Kiev on Feb. 28, 1890, while his mother wss on a dancing tour. His birth certificate was filed in Warsaw, Poland, how ever, to save him from Russian military aervice. j While in school, Nijinsky early demonstrated his athletic skill snd a dominant aesthetic sense. He wss nicknamed "Kitajec" (Chinaman) because of his oriental appearance. After his grsduation from the Im perial school of dancing he joined the Imperial Russian ballet, where under the tutelage of Sergei Diaghilev, he quickly became its brightest star. He stor ed Pans in a ballet organized by Diaghilev. Nijinsky married 'Romola Pulszky, the daughter of famous Hungarian actress, in Buenos Aires in 1913. At the start of the first world war he was arrested in Budapest, Hun gary, as a apy when detectives found in his rooms a series of draw ings they thought waa code but which he proved were the me chanics of his new dsnces. He was held in a concentration camp until 1916 when the late Otto Kahn, New York patron of arts, persuaded the Hungarian govern ment to parole him. Niiinsky'a de but in the Metropolitan opera house was a huge success. He was noted for his tremendous and grace ful leaps about the stage leaps that appeared to defy gravity. After a tour of the United States he went back to Europe where his mind began to fade. During this period he began to paint and drew unbelievably weird designs and compositions. He brooded about his suffering as a war prisoner. In 1919 he was pronounced inssne and confined to a sanitoriiim in Switzerland. His mental condition was diagnosed as schizophrenia, split personality. The first known performance after his mind failed him was at Sopron, Austria. 50 miles from Vienna, in 1945, after Russian troops released him from Hun garian interment. He broke his long silence, laughed, danced and capered like a youth Vfore a Red army camp fire. His wife said the Russian soldiers got him drunk, "which was naughty of them." While in England following the war, Nijinsky appeared to improve and danced occasionally for his wife when he heard music he loved. For a time she hoped he would be able to make a comeback. Rut he never did.

Snow Falls Again At Klamath Falls By The Associated Press Snow fell again today in Klamath Falls. It was more than sn inch deep at dawn and still falling as that city had the unususl reminder of win ter in April for the third straight dsy. It was an unpleasant prelude to Easter and the weather bureau aaid tomorrow'a skies would not be favorable for a parade of finery.

Italian Reaffirms Right To Trieste MILAN. Italy, AprU 8 f Ital ian Foreain Minister Count Csrlo Sforza warned the western powers today Italy would not give up her claim to Trieste. In a speech reflecting widespread Italian fears of an allied about face on the free territory, Sforza renewed his country's offers to set tle all differences with Yugoslavia which controls part of the Tri este territory by direct negotia tion. But he emphasized the starting point for any accord must be the return of Trieste to Italy. Trieste was established as a free territory by the Italian peace treaty. The United States. Britain and France proposed giving the territory back to Italy two years ago, on the eve of the Communist menaced Italian general election. Russia turned the proposal down. Since then Yugoslavia has broken from the Soviet orbit and there has been growing concern in Itsly lest the western powers back down on their proposal in a gesture toward Premier Marshal Tito.

Bob and Diana Bixby buzzed ia ' from Calcutta in their speedy twin engine Mosquito, a model which was one of the fastest bombers in the late war. They had averaged about 330 miles an hour en route. Then, as the wife prepared to put the plane down at Tokyo's Haneda airport, she and her husband heard a bang. They thought the hydraulic line to the brakes had snapped. Later they found that a valve in the air brakes had frozen in the high altitudes and had not thawed when they came in. The brakes ' were as good as ever a few hours later. In any case, they came in as slowly as possible. The plane rolled the length of the runway and wound up in mud half a foot deep. There was no damage. Engine trouble at Calcutta Mon day forced them to give up the idea of beating the late Bill Odom's arouno-uie-woria iecora. So. as Bixby put it, "we're in no hurry now. We're going to stay and see the town." Bixby disclosed they flew over Com' -.unist China without official clearance. They crossed at night and the trip was uneventful. He said that whether he and his wife mske a second assault on the record will depend "on how the airplane is." After taking a good look at Tokyo they will leave early Monday for San Francisco by way of Midway.
