Died. Povilas Zadeikis, 70, Minister to the U.S. from Lithuania since 1935; of a heart attack; in Washington, D.C.

Died.

After seven years as an officer in the Austrian cavalry, Vienna-born Erich Oswald Hans Carl Maria Stroheim von Nordenwall came to the U.S. in 1909, drifted to Hollywood (1912) and, with his Prussian strut, cropped head and monocle, lodged firmly in the public mind (viz. D. W. Griffith's Hearts of the World) during World War I as a cruel, arrogant German militarist. He once quipped that no one had any idea then of what a German officer looked like, but "ever since all German officers have apparently been trying to look like me."
