Austen Chamberlain, One Of Great Imperialists,
111 Few Days
Noted Political Career Ends
Statesman Twice Missed Gaining Premiership of English Empire
LONDON, March 16.—(UP) —Sir Austen Chamberlain, one of England’s greatest imperialists, who twice failed to attain the goal of his life— the premiership—when it was almost within his grasp, died tonight in his London home.
Death, which came at 6 p, m. il2N CST), was due to a heart attack.
The tall, sharp-faced statesman, who had been confined to his Eger-ton terrace residence for several days, arose from his bed and started to descend the stairs to his library w'hen he collapsed. He died a few minutes later without regaining consciousness.
Triumph Frustrated Sir Austen, a half-brother of Chancellor of the Exchequer Neville Chamberlain, had been ill only a few days. He was 73 years old.
His death drew the mantle on a career In which he frequently was the talk of the moment but never the man of the hour. His was a l life of climax and anti-climax, the i tragedy of a man whose personal power in parliament was enormous but who always was frustrated at I the moment when his great triumph seemed at hand.
He was born in Birmingham, October 16. 1863, son of the famous Joseph C, Chamberlain of tariff reform renown.
Had No Originality He had—ns British statesmen are reckoned—little originality and he saw no visitors. He was zealous to do his Job properly and he had a severe code of honor.
His first chance of becoming leader of the conservatives and prime minister of England glimmered and faded in 1906 when Balfour, bowing to the protectionists, resigned and the choice of his successor lay between Chancellor of the Exchequer Austen Chamberlain and Walter Long.
BERLIN. March 10—(i.l’i—The Nazi-controlled newspaper Loka-lanzieger tonight, fired a second broadside at Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia of New York, accusing him of being a "parlor Bolshevik” and describing a mass meeting in New York, at which l a Guardia denounced Nnzlsm, a.s "saturated with the scum of the big city.”
The attack was the most vitrolic unloosed in the exchange between the Nazi press and American group attacking the Hitler regime in Germany, since Der An-gilff’s article last week which drew a sharp protest from the American state department.
Lokalanzelger directly accused La Guardia, Rep. Samuel Dickstein of New York, an anti-Nazi leader in congress, and Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, who spoke at the New York mass meeting, of being "professional provacateurs" and "ferments of decomposition.’

Vachel Lindsay Is Baxter Talk Topic
Readings 1 o Be Made in Bovard in Assembly This Morning
"Although Vachel Lindshy was modern, vital, and thoroughly American, he was not the care-free bard that he has been pictured ln the minds of so many readers.”
Thus does Dr. Frank Baxter sum up the man whose works he has chosen to present at the Wednesday readings today ln Bovard auditorium durmg assembly hour.
"Oddly, Lindsey ls considered to be one of the freest of modern poets ln the mode of presentation. Actually, he never wrote a single line of free verse," declared Dr. Baxter yesterday.
Conception Mistaken
This mistaken conception, according to the lecturer, originated among audiences at Lindsay's readings, who were Impressed with the melody woven into the poetry.
"Lindsay was very much a realist, taking the American point of view," stated Dr. Baxter. "He was a lover | of melody and Intricate rhythms, j doing much experimentation with j the latter, but above all he was a j careful scholar and tireless crafts-I man.”
I The decline in popularity which i has followed Lindsay s death may be attributed In part to the fact that he is no longer able to read them in person; during his lifetime his public appearances met with widespread interest, Dr. Baxter declared.
Full ol Melody
So full of melody were his poems that he suggested arranging some of them for orchestration, said the English professor.
"Although his suggestion never materialized, he planned to place considerable emphasis on the parts taken by flutes and the bass drum. "
Regardless of his standing as a poet, Lindsay's contribution can be measured in his great influence upon younger contemporary men, Dr. Baxter believes.
