Died. Ross Lockridge Jr., 33, author of the ambitious, partly successful, best-selling attempt at a Great American Novel, Raintree County; by his own hand (carbon monoxide poisoning); in Bloomington, Ind. Exhausted after seven years' work on the studied, strained, lengthy (1,066 pages) first novel that had finally brought him financial (MGM's $125,000 prize), critical and popular success, Lockridge seemed, at the time of his suicide, to be successfully weathering a nervous breakdown.

Died. Major General Uzal Girard Ent, U.S.A. (ret.), 48, leader of the low-level mass bombing raid on the Ploesti oil refineries in 1943; after long illness; in Denver. Paralyzed from the waist down in a 1944 crash, he set an example for other paraplegics by ultimately learning to walk with braces.

Died. James Lukens McConaughy, 60, 75th Governor of Connecticut (1947-48), longtime college president (Knox College, 1918-25, Wesleyan University, 1925-43); of coronary thrombosis; in Hartford.

Died. Gordon S. Rentschler, 62, chairman of the board of directors of the National City Bank of New York; of a heart ailment; in Havana. He was once described by the late Fiorello LaGuardia as "the one banker I know who has none of the traits of the pawnbroker."

Died. Saul Singer, 66, onetime chairman, Executive Committee of the Bank of United States, who progressed from rags to riches--and then to Sing Sing for his part in history's biggest* bank crash; of a ruptured artery; in Miami Beach. Out of jail in 1935, he headed for Texas with $75.74, started all over again, became a major independent oilman.

Died. Dr. Abraham Arden Brill, 73, dean of U.S. psychiatrists, first (1909) to translate Sigmund Freud into English; of a heart ailment; in Manhattan. Austrian-born Dr. Brill, until his fatal illness, remained a practicing psychoanalyst, a teacher at Columbia and N.Y.U., the leading U.S. Freudian.
