Died. Hans Heinrich Dieckhoff, 67, Adolf Hitler's last Ambassador to the U.S.; after long illness; in Lenzkirch, Germany. Distantly related by marriage to Nazi Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop, chunky, affable, Roman Catholic Dieckhoff was required, as his first public act in the U.S., to chide Archbishop Mundelein of Chicago for referring to Hitler as "that Austrian paper hanger." After 18 months in the U.S., Diplomat Dieckhoff was recalled by the Fuehrer in 1938 and never came back.

Died. Baron Lindsay of Birker, 72 (Alexander Dunlop ["Sandy"] Lindsay), for 25 years the learned master of Balliol College, Oxford; at Stoke-on-Trent, England. Fabian Socialist Lindsay, more noted as an educator than as a scholar, believed that English university education is too stereotyped (mere intellectual training produces only "the clever ass," he once said). In 1938, he stood unsuccessfully for Parliament as a "popular front," anti-Munich candidate from Oxford. His lectures on political theory after World War I prompted one hearer to say: "One had the sense of being present at an occasion." His son Michael, a graduate student in Canberra, Australia, succeeds to the barony created in 1945. The son's wife, Hsiao Li, who served with Red-sympathizing Michael in Mao Tse-tung's guerrilla forces in 1941-45, is the first Chinese woman ever to become a British peeress.
