PoderewsM to Sail Tonight,
f Ending Last American Tour
III, Disappointed,
Pianist to Return
To Home-in-ExiIe
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, May 30.-A lame old
man, his shoulders weary with the
weight of 78 years, sails for his
home-in-exile aboard the French
liner Normandie tonight, i'll and
doubtless disappointed.
And SO ends probably the last
American concert tour by the Polish
wizard of the piano, Ignace Jan
Paderewski, a living immortal
among musicians.
His tour manager, Lawrence Fitz-
gerald, said today, II don't think it
will be physically possible for him
to tour again"
While throng enchanted with
the legend of his genius waited rest
lessly in huge Madison Square Gar
den last Thursday night, PadereWski
himself confronted the inevitable.
He told his staff that his strength
was gone.
He acknowledged what may we'll
be the end of his career in spite of
prime incentive to play once
agaln-he needed the money.
Gave Fortune to Poland.
Having given one fortune of
S2,700000 to the recreation of Po-
land as an independent nation and
hundreds of thousands more to other
phllanthropies, he had returned to
the land of his first great financial
success to refill his purse.
Stubbornly staving off illness, he
played 20 of his IS scheduled con-
certs-a few when compared to the
lit he gave on his first American
tour nearly SO years ago.
In those days, when he was all
but mobbed by an admilsng public,
he set box Office records. He re-
ceived $500 for each recital in
1892 and earned $4,000, a Hcord
Tor lnstrumentalists up to that time.
Proceeds of his latest tour were
being computed yesterday for in
come tax purposes and, while the
sum was considerable, it probably
won't meet PadereWski normally
high expenses for long, a member of
his staff Indicated.
He lives now in a Swiss villa. a
voluntary exile from Poland, which
he served as a postwar premier.
and he also maintains a vast ranch
in California.
Illness Alters Plans.
He was in virtual retirement in
Switzerland when he decided on an
other American tour in 1888. Illness
forced him to cancel his plans. and

Hungarian Nazis Win
Strategic Bloc Of
Seats in House
Government Purty Sure
Of Big Majority in
New Parliament
By the Associated Press,


BUDAPEST, May 30.-Hungarian
Nazis won a strategic bloc of seats,
but the Government party was as
sured large majority in Hungary's
new Parliament, mounting election
returns showed today.
Premier Count Paul Teleky and
his foreign minister, Count Stephen
Csaky, scored individual victories, AS
did other cabinet members in the
governments successful bid for
stronger support in the lower house.
Government candidates were as
sured OF 173 seats already, and it
was estimated they would hold 1870
of the 260 seats when final returns
are in.
The Nazis increased their repre-
sentation from to at least 26 and
claimed they could count on the
votes Of a score of sympathizers in
minor parties. Small farmer and
liberal groups were the main losers
IN the tWo-day election which vas
held Sunday and Monday.
Thousands of Jews were unable
to vote because of new ant.-Semitic
restrictions.
Nazi leaders prepared to push a
legislative drive for redistribution of
the nations huge landed estates and
more severe anti-Semitic restric-
TONS. They announced party men,
bers would wear green uniforms in
Parliament as evidence of their
solidarity.
Immediate liberation of Ferenc
Szalasl, the Hungarian "Fuehrer.
who is serving a three-year prison
term for treason in Nazi activities,
also was announced as an objective

cross the Atlantic.
Circumstances apparently changed
his mind, and on his return he found
American audiences as gracious as
ever. When cancellation of his New
York concert was announced, many
in the audience Wept, and a spon-
taneouS movement was started to
donate a portion of the receipts to
hlm-an offer he declined.
Many of his listeners seemed to
have forgotten or not to have known
how old he had become. Often they
appeared surprised to see him walk
ing so sloWly-his legs weakened by
phlebitlS-to his place on the stage
They were still charmed by his vir-
tuoslty, nonetheless.
Members of his encourage said the
masters touch was still sure, his
tonal quality and musicianship still
among the finest, though naturally
he had lost the power with which
he had once assaulted the piano.
And, tired as he was, Paderewski
appeared happy-most of all when
doing the thing that now may be
denied him forever.

And tell a story of the long ago,

Or take a book and read a fairy tale.

And knew exactly what would come

Enjoying them the more because we

Her gentle voice beat softly on the

AS beaded raindrops falling on the

Then as the light grew dim we'd shut

And she would close the book and
