'A Giant Pablo Casals, 96 SAN JUAN, P.R. (UPI) Pablo Casals, the most famous cellist of his time, lay in state at his hilltop home today before burial in his adopted Puerto Rico as a last rebuke to the nationalist government of his native Spain. Casals, 96, died yesterday of heart and lung complications. The famed cellist-composerconductor vowed in 1939 never to return to Spain so long as it was ruled by Gen. Francisco Franco.

He kept the selfimposed exile the last 34 years of his life and, in keeping with his wishes, it will be respected in death. The body was to be taken from his home later today to be placed under the rotunda of the Puerto Rican Capital Building SO the public may pay tribute. Christian burial at the Puerto Rican Memorial Cemetery in Isla Verde was to be preceded by an afternoon mass officiated by Cardinal Luis Aponte Martinez at La Piedad Catholic Church. Plans called for Casals' "Song of the Birds" to be played at the mass as the maestro requested. The Catalonian maestro moved to Puerto Rico, homeland of his mother, in 1957 with his Puerto Rican wife, Marta Montanez.

He became a beloved institution, founding the Puerto Rico Conservatory of Music, the Puerto Rican Symphony Orchestra and the annual Casals Festival. Gov. Rafael Hernandez Colon proclaimed three days of "Each Day I Am Cellist Said, Ignoring Age By AMEI WALLACH Newsday Nearly seven years ago, when the world was celebrating Pablo Casals' 90th birthday, those who had made the pilgrimage to his home in Puerto Rico to kiss him, to shake his hands, to smile with him through 48 hours of concerts, breakfasts, dinners and adulation found themselves asking how it could be possible that El Maestro remained so young. Doctors spoke in awe of his coordination. Young Musicians pondered feats of technical skill that were far beyond the power of their supposedly more nimble fingers.

Well-wishers remembered his vise-like handshake. And everyone noted his obvious enjoyment of life. But "Don Pablo," as his neighbors in Isla Verde called him, "the greatest cellist of his time." as the celebrants were naming him, had the answer. "Age," said musicianconductor-composer Casals, "is a relative matter. The man who works and is never bored is never old Each day I am reborn.

Each day I must begin again." Begin again he did, several times throughout his life. At 13 he changed the way he and every cellist after him held the instrument not in the then-usual claw-like grip, but naturally. At 25 he was an international celebrity who had revived Bach's cello work and the cello itself as a solo concert instrument. At 28 he was playing for Theodore Roosevelt at the White House. Years later, he did the same for President Kennedy.

At 62 he renounced public concerts altogether in protest against fascism and Franco's Spain, until his remarkable renaissance in 1950 at the age of 73. Then, some seven years later, Casals topped even himself. In 1957, having just suffered a heart attack, Pablo Casals, aged 80, married for the third time. Marta Montanez was then 21 and his pupil. But through all the upheavals, the daily routine of his days never changed.

For 83 years Casals began each day with a walk, because love of nature was one of his secrets of long life. "I do not think a day has passed in my life, in which I have failed to look with fresh amazement at the miracle of nature," he said. After nature, each day for two hours, would come his other love, Music. For two hours he played his beloved Bach suites on the piano he was a accomplished pianist. Bach, he said, gives a house "the necessary atmosphere." Even at his birth on Dec.

Webb, of 11 S. Main died Tuesday in the Scott Nursing Home, Smyrna, after a long illness. She had been bedridden for the past year. Because of her wide community interest, Mrs. Webb was honored as the recipient of the Smyrna Lions Club's SPICER MULLIKIN FUNERAL HOMES TELEPHONE 655-6611 UNDER THE PERSONAL DIRECTION OF John W.

Spicer chairman of the board V. Dale Heller. president William F. Cole vice president Harvey C. Smith, Jr.

secretary Frank C. Mayer, Jr. treasurer 24th Market Streets, Wilmington Wilmington Manor Delaware City Serving greater New Castle County since 1906 official mourning for Casals, and ordered U.S. and Puerto Rican flags flown at half-staff throughout Puerto Rico. With characteristic Latin fervor, Hernandez Colon said in his proclamation: "A giant has died.

A giant in music, giant in liberty, a giant in peace. He died in Puerto Rico, land of his mother who inspired his art, land of liberty, land of peace. This people, which is honored to have him among us, which grew with his music and was vitalized by his inspiration, today weeps at his death and opens its heart to receive him in our insides on 'his trip to eternity." At last st night's wake, Marta's brothers carried the gold casket into the living room of the maestro's suburban home. Marta Montanez de Casals, 36, stood at the position of honor in a long-sleeved black dress, holding the Catalonian red and yellow multi-striped flag in one hand and the lone star Puerto Rican tricolor in the other. She blinked back tears.

The closed casket was placed between two gigantic red floor candles. A cello replica of red and white carnations and a crucifix were placed atop the casket. In a corner atop a closed black piano lay Don Pablo's cello, a sad reminder of the departure of a genius. On the walls were oil ings of Marta, the maestro, Bach and Beethoven and a collection of caricatures of Casals. of Vendrell south of Barcelona, Casals was surrounded by music.

His father wasd the parish organist. "When I was two or three, I would sit on the floor beside him as he played, and I would press my head against the piano in order to absorb the sound more completely," Casals remembered. Before he ever heard a real cello. his father made him one of a gourd with a single string. But his father wanted him to take up the more practical trade of carpenter.

It was his mother, whom he adored, who insisted he become a musician. UPI Telephoto Pablo Casals with cello in 1961 Public pays tribute in Puerto Rico 1953 Citizen of the Year award.
