Died. Donald W. Sorrell, 64, onetime skipper (retired since 1956) of the Queen Mary, who, during the New York tugboat strike of 1953, displayed his master seamanship by turning on the knuckle of Manhattan's Pier 90, bending his behemoth of the seas into her slip without the services of the usual flotilla of tugs; of a heart ailment; in Southampton, England.

Died. Andrija Stampar, M.D., 69, president of the Yugoslav Academy of Sciences and Arts, who helped set up the U.N.'s World Health Organization, served as chairman (1948) of the first World Health Assembly, ran it with what one delegate called a "unanimity complex," bringing all considerations to the personal level with such stock remarks as "If you have confidence in your chairman you will adopt this item" and "I would be the most unhappy man in the world if the assembly rejected this proposal"; after long illness; in Zagreb, Yugoslavia.

Died. Alfred Noyes, 77, right-bank English poet (The Highwayman), critic (Voltaire), philosopher ("God help us if we reach a stage in which our plumbing is perfect but in which the human soul atrophies"), novelist (The Devil Takes a Holiday), onetime (1914-23) professor of English literature at Princeton; on the Isle of Wight. The early commercial success of his verse was a sensitive point with Noyes, who abhorred the hack reputation, denied that he "had made poetry pay." Born a generation after his time, Traditionalist Noyes was sharply articulate about "that curious modern tolerance for things which ought not to be tolerated." Novelist Hugh Walpole was once kicked out of Noyes's house for suggesting to one of Noyes's daughters that she read James Joyce's Ulysses. "Filth," said Noyes, to whom the stream-of-consciousness device was nothing less than an emetic for "the entire contents of the garbage can and the sewer."

Died. Sammy Bronstein, 81, onetime St. Louis newsboy who turned to money-lending, helped St. Louis newsmen make it from one payday to the next, charged them interest at rates upwards of 5% a week; of uremic poisoning; in St. Louis. Young Sammy engineered a steady $2.50-a-week retainer from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch after he spotted Founder Joseph Pulitzer on the street, pretended not to know who he was, followed him for blocks trying to sell him a copy of the Post-Dispatch. Later, in his banking days, he was ready 24 hours a day to back a reporter's unforeseen needs (such as the price of a look at another man's cards), although some borrowers were "always casting their vile and rue" on him. "Heywood Broun put me out of business when he organized the Newspaper Guild," Sammy once observed. "The boys began making enough to tide them over." But Sammy Bronstein's biggest moment was yet to come. Two years ago, when the Missouri Pacific RR. reorganized, a $3,600 bond investment of 1938 was suddenly worth $970,000 to Sammy, who earmarked most of it before his death for the University of Missouri School of Journalism.

Died. Max Graf, 84, music critic who reached fame in Emperor Franz Josef's fin-de-siecle Vienna, author of Modern Music, Composer and Critic, Legend of a Musical City; of a stroke; in Vienna. Friend and appraiser of Johannes Brahms, Anton Bruckner, Gustav Mahler and Richard Strauss aging Max Graf recoiled as the Nazis took the Vienna woods, later wrote that "it required three centuries to make Vienna a musical city; one day sufficed to destroy this historic edifice." Fleeing to the U.S., he taught at Manhattan's New School for Social Research, became a U.S. citizen, gathered impressions for postwar columns in the Vienna New Austria. On audiences at Manhattan's Metropolitan Opera (where his son Herbert has been a longtime stage director): "Each year a new generation of Mammon families is educated for attendance at the Metropolitan, where the young lady learns to sit in a box with the cool expression of a rich heiress and look at the stage as if she were packed in ice."

Died. Alexander Malcolm Smith, 99, Scots-born explorer and prospector (for oil and gold), who became a legendary figure in the Canadian northwest and Alaska, once blazed an 1,800-mile trail from Alberta to Dawson in the Yukon Territory, later spent some time in a Soviet jail for prospecting on the fringes of Siberia; in San Jose, Calif.
