MARIA ITURBI HERO
 ENDS STORMY LIFE IN FATHERS HOME
Pianist Iturbi Finds Ddugh. fer Dying from Self
 Inflicted Gunshot

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., April TIA revolver wound in the tenn ple. brought to an end today the strife-ridden life of Maria Iturbi Hero, 2s-year-old daughter of the concert pianist, Jose Iturbi.
 She was found by her father, ly- ing on the floor of his bedroom, her hair afire, a .32 caliber gun near her outstretched arm. She died two hours later in a hospital, as brain specialists admitted there was nothing they could do to save her.
 Iturbi, near collapse, was at her bedside. Her two daughters, center for years of court battles with her father and her former husband, remained at home with their nurse.
 Det. Sgt. Arthur H. McBain, cali ing the shooting clearly a case of suicide" said Iturbi told him he returned home shortly before mid- night and was playing the piano in his drawing room when he heard a shot.
 Rushing upstairs, he found his daughter sprawled by a bed. Ex- tinguishing the flames in her bru- nette hair, he called an ambulance.
 Miss Iturbi, a slim, Latin girl then IS, was married in Bedford Hills. Y., in 1886 to Stephen Hero, 20, a yiolinist. Their two daughters are Marie Teresa, g, and Maria Antonia 8.

PEIPING, April 17.-The fall of Changchun, capital of civil war torn Manchruia, to an overwhelm- ing force of Communist troops, was forecast at Sino American troop headquarters today as China hope fully awaited the arrival of peace seeking General Marshall.
 Latest news dispatches reported Communist forces had penetrated deep into Changchun, seized it's only railway station. and disrupted communication formerly controlled by government officials.
 Peiping observers doubted that government troops there would hold out three more days.
 In Chungking, officials estimated the governments new First Army would require at least week to push the 90 miles from newly seized Szepingkai north to Changchun against the Communist harassment. The army was moving afoot with mules hauling it's American equip ment.
 Marshall was expected to arrive in midafternoon from Tokyo, where he conferred yesterday with Gen. Macarthur. He is returning from important Washington conferences with President Truman to try to en- force the peace agreement he nego- tiated in January, but which was disregarded after he left for the United States.
 Associated Press Correspondent Tom Masterson, one of five Ameri- can correspondents isolated in Changchun by the embattled Com munist and government troops, managed to send cut a dispatch reporting the Reds had captured the Capitals only railroad station. That gave them transportation for supplies and for endorsements, should they decide they need the latter. They have an estimated 10000 troops in the area, opposed by some 4,0o0 government troops and a home guard force-the Peace Preservation Corps PPC) of doubtful value.
