Died. Dr. Alexander Loudon, 60, Dutch career diplomat, ambassador to the U. S. from Queen Wilhelmina's wartime exile government, since 1951 secretary general of the dormant Permanent Court of Arbitration; of a heart attack; in The Hague.

Died. Ben Ames Williams, 63, bestselling novelist (The Strange Woman, Leave Her to Heaven); of a heart attack while playing in a curling match; in Brookline, Mass. Husky, Mississippi-born Ben Williams sweated out 83 short stories at night during his Boston newspaper days before making a sale, thereafter sold some 500. Longest of his 30-odd full-blown novels was 1947's House Divided, a 1,514-page meticulously documented account of the South and the Civil War; a sequel, The Unconquered, is scheduled for publication this summer.

Died. Lolita Sheldon Armour, 83, wealthy widow of Meat Packer J. Ogden Armour (son of Packing House Founder P. D. Armour); in Lake Forest, Ill. A queen of Chicago society through World War I, she fell on hard times as the collapse of the top-heavy meat market at war's end began melting away her husband's $150 million Armour-plated fortune. When he died in 1927, she inherited debts that ate up her personal fortune, forced her to move from sumptuous 846-acre "Mellody Farm" (now the site of Lake Forest Academy) to a modest Chicago flat, and left her with little more in the till than 400 shares of seemingly worthless stock in an oil-cracking company which her creditors wouldn't touch. Less than four years later, the oil-cracking rights were sold to Standard Oil of California and Shell Union in a deal that netted Mrs. Armour $8,216,058. She promptly moved back to the North Shore, invested grandly in Chicago real estate, made a sensational social comeback, and passed her remaining days as a patron of the arts, philanthropist, horticulturist and collector of glass dogs.
