Left. By the late Alfred Irenee du Pont, reorganizer and onetime head of E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co. (TIME, May 6): an estate estimated as high as $100,000,000; in Jacksonville, Fla. To his third wife, Mrs. Jessie Ball du Pont, go $200,000 a year, his Florida estate, "Epping Forest," his art collection, his yachts.

Died. Thomas Edward Lawrence, 46, famed, mysterious War hero of Arabia; of injuries received in a motorcycle accident, caused when he swerved at high speed to avoid a child, catapulted over the handlebars; in Wool, Dorset, England. Welsh-born and Oxford-educated, Lawrence had been an archeologist in the Near East before the War broke. In Arabia he joined Feisal and Hussein (later Kings of Irak and the Hejaz), secretly raised and led Arab irregulars against the Turks. Shrewd, daring and adroit at dealing with Arabs, Lawrence made his forces "invulnerable, intangible, without front or back, drifting about like gas." In one year he tore up 15,000 rails, blew up 25 Turkish trains, 57 bridges and culverts. When the Arabs took their goal, Damascus, Lawrence quietly disappeared. Of all this he wrote in his monumental Seven Pillars of Wisdom (top price, $5,000; about no copies printed) which in two nights he abridged into the best-selling Revolt in the Desert. After the peace treaties Lawrence declared himself disgusted that the Arabs had not got all he promised them. He ostentatiously sought obscurity, enlisted in the Air Force as a private, changed his name to Shaw.

Died. Major John Sanford Cohen, 65, president and editor of the Atlanta Journal, vice chairman of the Democratic National Committee, onetime U. S. Senator from Georgia (appointed to fill a nine-month vacancy in 1932); of stomach ulcer; in Atlanta. A Journal reporter in 1890, he rose to its presidency in 1917.

Died. Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld, 67, famed Jewish neurologist, founder of the Institute for Sexual Science in Berlin, Nazi exile since 1933; in Nice. Unkempt and walrus-mustached, he was called "the Einstein of Sex," had heard the confidences of 30,000 sexually maladjusted people. He believed that absolute sexual normality is rarer than abnormality, crusaded for candor, removal of restrictive sex laws and customs. Said he: "If a man wants to understand a woman, he must discover the woman in himself, and if a woman would understand a man, she must dig in her own consciousness to discover her own masculine traits." Dr. Hirschfeld's Institute, founded in 1919, was later taken over and renamed for him by the Prussian Government. Over its door he put the motto of Hitler's hero, Frederick the Great, "I intend in my State that every man amuse himself in his own way." But the Nazis, many of whom had been treated for abnormalities by Dr. Hirschfeld, called his work "un-German," seized and destroyed half a ton of his priceless files, pamphlets and books in their great book-bonfire (TIME, May 22, 1933).

Died. Dr. Edwin Brant Frost, 68, famed blind astronomer, longtime director of the University of Chicago's Yerkes Observatory at Williams Bay, Wis., editor for 32 years of The Astrophysical Journal; of peritonitis following a gallstones operation; in Chicago. Dr. Frost's greatest achievements were in the mechanics of stargazing, in spectroscopic technique whereby are calculated the diameters, masses, densities, speeds and directions of stars. During his lifetime and partly through his labors, the known cosmos multiplied from a few thousand to hundreds of millions of heavenly bodies.
