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.
Some improvement over today
was seen, however, in grsdual les
sening of the strength of a cold
low pressure area off the aouth
west coast. A masa of cold air
laying at 5.000 to 20.000 feet, which
accounted for Klamath Falls' anow,
was expected to start dissipating.
But through the state generally
clouds are expected tomorrow.
Portland will get no rain, the
forecaster ssid, and will get occa
sional glimpses of the sun. But
the weather will worsen to the
south and will worsen somewhat
to the east.
The picture for tomorrow, the
weather bureau ssid, is cloudy and
occasional showers in eastern Ore
gon; cloudy and more frequent
showers in southern Oregon.

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.

Trouble Downs
Flying Bixbys
TOKYO, April . .P Engine
trouble broke up the flying Bixbys'
attempt to beat a world-circling
speed record and brake trouble
landed them in the mud on their
way ho.'e today.
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.
