Died. Walter Edwin ("The Professor") Peck, 62, onetime authority on English poets, turned leading intellectual of Manhattan's Bowery; of a heart attack; after he was found in a snow-filled Bowery doorway. Educated at Hamilton and Columbia, he got his Ph.D. at Oxford, became an assistant professor at Hunter College. In 1929, after winning critics' acclaim with a two-volume biography of Shelley, Professor Peck saw his academic career blow up in a tabloid scandal. Suing for separation, his wife accused him of leading an "unbelievably immoral life," named a Hunter student among five corespondents. Ousted from the faculty, the once elegant "Love Prof" drifted down to the Bowery, thereafter regaled fellow down & outers with barroom recitals of Kipling's Mandalay. He recently confessed: "I guess I couldn't face things. It was one drink, another, another . . ."

Died. Admiral William Henry Purnell ("Spike") Blandy, 63, one of the U.S.

Navy's top A-bomb experts; of a cerebral hemorrhage; in New York City.

In 1946, commanding Joint Task Force One (230 ships; 41,000 men; 1,000 scientists and technicians), Admiral Blandy smoothly directed the first postwar A-bomb tests at Bikini. Retiring as head of the Atlantic Fleet in 1950, he was recalled to active duty last October, when death came was busy evaluating the Navy's Reserve program.

Died. "Uncle Don" Carney (real name: Howard Rice), 68, famed radio pal of small fry from the late '20s to the mid-'40s, whose daily flow of cheery songs, birthday announcements and sugary advice (on such problems as nail biting, gulping, temper) earned him as much as $90,000 a year before blood-and-thunder adventure serials forced him to make his living as a disc jockey* (1947); of a heart ailment; in Miami.

Died. Bernard Samuel, 73, longtime Republican mayor of Philadelphia (1941-52); of a stroke; in Philadelphia.

Died. Maria d'Annunzio, Princess of Monte Nevoso, 94, widow of Italy's famed Poet-Patriot Gabriele (Il Fuoco} d'Annunzio; in Gardone Riviera, Italy.

* Uncle Don was plagued for years by a persistent but apocryphal radio legend: once, having ended a program with a particularly fat string of cliches and commercials, he loosened his tie, curled his lip, and snarled: "There, I guess that'll hold the little bastards." Then he learned that he was still on the air.
