Dr. Alfred Einstein,* 71, who as a child used to make "a lot of noise" on the violin, then turned from play to study and became one of the world's great musicologists, a ranking authority on Mozart and his works; of a heart ailment; in El Cerrito, Calif. In 1933, Einstein saw the handwriting on Hitler's wall, fled to Britain, in 1939 came to the U.S., where his success in his specialty led him finally to refer to Hitler ironically as "my greatest benefactor."

Died. Ida B. Wise Smith, 80, who joined the Woman's Christian Temperance Union at 17, became its national president at 52, spent most of her adult life equating evil to alcohol and fighting for prohibition; in the State Mental Health Institute, Clarinda, Iowa, where she had been a patient since 1947. Hailing the U.S. dry era as "halcyon days," she firmly believed that prohibition would eventually come back to stay. Her credo: "I love God, my country and little children. I hate the liquor traffic and abhor all vice."
