Dies Of Heart Attack

ROME AP — Mario Lanza, a golden-voiced boy from Philadel- phia’s ‘“‘little Jtaly’’ who en- countered undreamed-of woes at the peak of his climb from rags to riches, died Wednesday at 38. Death was due to a heart attack.

On the way up from the role of piano mover and truck driver, he made more than $1,000,000 in a ‘year. Toscanini called his the greatest voice of the 20th cen- tury.

The tenor liked being called the reincarnation of Caruso. -His film The Great Caruso grossed among the highest financial returns of any musical motion picture.

During his three years resi- dence in Rome Lariza was in hospital several times for illnes- ses ranging from a tooth infection to bad colds. He always, had dif- ficulty getting his weight down to an acceptable 180 or 185 pounds for movies and concert appear- ances. Friends said the constant reducing weakened his resistance.

HIGH PRESSURE

Lanza entered the Valle Giulia clinie last week with a blood pres- sure of 300. His illness was iag- nozed as~ hypertensive arterio- sclerotic cardiopathy. A doctor described the ailment as harden- ing of the walls of ‘arteries lead- ing to the heart.

Lanza's family and friends had jnot regarded the illness as criti- jcal and a family spokesman said jthey were stunned when Lanza ‘suffered the sudden heart attack Wednesday and died at 12.50 p.m

Lanza's wife, Betty, was in a state of shock at the Lanza apart- ment. The couple had four child- ren.
