a government school in San
Carlos when he joined a riot
against the director.
Mr.. Rivera sold his first paint
ing early in the century, stud
led in Madrid. from 1907 to 1911
and then spent 10 years in
Paris. He fiirted with the cubist
movement in 1918 but was not
diverted from his strong, natu-
ralistic style.
During his years in Paris he
formed alliances at different
times with two Russian refugee
women, by whom he had three
children.
Painted Walls Of Buildings
He returned to Mexico in
1921 and painted his first major
Mexican mural, called "Crea-
|tiop.p at the National Prepara-
tory School. Later he painted
the walls of other public build
ings.
In the wake of 10 years of
internal fighting in Mexico, Mr..
Rivera began the cratic as
ISOLATION with the Communist
Party which was to continue
until his death. His irrepressi-
BILE individualism sometimes got
him into difficulties with the
party.
He made his first trip to
Russia in 1927 and returned the
next year on orders from the
Mexican Communist Party. The
Communists expelled him in
1929 and he was not formally
readmitted until 1854, although
for years he had been cham
pioning Communist causes.

At about the time he left

Rivera, Charging Bull
Of Art World, Dies at 70

MEXICO CITY. Nov. Is tP),
Diego Rivera. 70. whose vio-
lent paintings and defiant poll
tics made him a charging bull
in the world of art. died after
Q heart attack early today in
his studio at suburban San
Angel.
Until phlebitis paralyzed his
right hand and arm several
weeks ago. Mr.. Rivera was
working on three paintings with
the zest which characterized
his work for half a century.
A heart specialist said yes
terday that the artists condi-
ton had worsened. but friends
thought he might live until the
end Of the year.
Only members of his family
and his physician were present
when he died at lis am. (2:l5
am. EST. He is survived by
his fourth wife. Anna Hurtado
and two daughters, Ruth and
Guadalupe.
Mr.. Rivera had been in and
out Of the Communist Party
since 1922. He returned only
last year from Russia and pro-
claimed that Soviet medicine
had cured him of cancer by
using cobalt bombs. He also
had suffered from diabetes.
Wore Gun While Working
From his earliest days Mr..
Rivera expressed defiance in
his controversial paintings, At
times he wore a pistol while he
worked in public.
One of the last major con-
troversies which he stirred was
in 1850. when he completed a
painting which the Mexican
government had commissioned
for an exhibition in Europe.
Government officials were APP
palled when they learned that
the painting showed United
States soldiers committing
atrocities in Korea. The work
was withdrawn from the art
show.
Mr.. Rivera had become pop
ular with Americans in the
l93os. He did murals for the
California School Of Fine Arts
and the San Francisco Stock
Exchange and the Rockefellers
approved his plans for paint
ings for the new Rockefeller
Center in New York.
But the Rockefellers object
ed in 1888 when Mr.. Rivera
insisted on painting in a pic
ture OF Lenin. The artist re-
fused to remove 1t but offered
to add Lincoln. The mural was
rejected and later destroyed,
but Mr.. Rivera was paid in full.
Later the artist repeated the
Rockefeller center painting at
the Fine Arts Palace in Mexico
City, adding the Rockefellers
themselves to the design.
Controversial Mural
Another controversial mural
was done for the Del Prado
Hotel in Mexico City. A hand
held a scroll reading: God
does not exist" Many who
saw 1t objected strongly. and
students erased the writing.
Covered by mauve screens, the
painting now is shown only by
special request. n
Born at Guiana juato, Mexico,
in 1886, Mr.. Rivera was the son
Of q rural school inspector of

what town is the oldest settle EeEt IT Alaska, and where is the aIde5t house in Alaska located?
 Both these questions were ans wered in the opening sentence of an article appearing in The Alaska Sportsman, November issue. The article was written by Anne Woods, and besides answering these two questions, offers many little known historic facts about K0dial.
 Yea, Kodiak is the answer to h0th questions. The oldest house, of ccarse, is the old home of W.J. Erskr4e, now owned by Donnelley & Acheson. For more than one hunGrer and sixty years this ol house has stood on a knoll over looking St. Paul Harbor," the article states. Tt has changed ownership only three times since Alexander Baranof built it for his crew and traders"
 Fur seals built the old house, the article continues After tidal wave swept over Baranof's settle naent at Three Saints Bay, he moy- ed across Kodiak Island to, a safer, site on Chiniak Bay, and 4on the narrow and protected harbor which he named Saint Paul, he established what is now Kodiak.
