Died. Mario de Bernardi, 65, Italian aviator who, in a little red Macchi-Fiat seaplane, won the Schneider Cup in 1926, breaking Lieut. Jimmy Doolittle's record with an average 246 m.p.h.; of a heart attack; in Rome. Once known in the U.S. as the "Flying Fascist," De Bernardi was a World War I ace (nine enemy planes), flew experimental jets as early as 1940, in recent years put all his savings into the development of a two-cylinder, 40-h.p. single-seater not much bigger than the dragonfly for which it was named. Last week De Bernardi heard that a group of aviation experts had collected at a Roman airport to watch some German pilots demonstrate a new light plane. Hopping on his motor scooter, he zipped out to the field, took to the air in his Dragonfly, stunted breathtakingly for 15 minutes. "You can't beat him," said an onlooking friend. "He's got the heart of a 20-year-old." But in the air Mario de Bernardi was feeling the attack that killed him. Settling the Dragonfly to a soft landing, he fell forward over the controls, died minutes later.

Died. Frank Lloyd Wright, 89, architect, in Phoenix, Ariz, (see ART).
