Died. Mohammed V, 51, King of Morocco; following nasal surgery; in Rabat (see FOREIGN NEWS).

Died. Victoria Geaney, 69, for 19 years the hostess, manager and permanent resident of Blair House, the presidential guesthouse for visiting firechiefs; of a heart attack; in Blair House.

Died. Vice Admiral Aaron Stanton ("Tip") Merrill, 70, who gleefully asked, "What's the bag limit this year?" after his Pacific task force sank two Japanese cruisers in 1943 in the first battle use of ocean-going radar, outspokenly opposed armed forces unification in 1946, retired from the Navy in 1947 and became president of Mississippi's Jefferson Military College; of cancer; in Natchez, Miss.

Died. James Leonard Hanberry, 86, the last survivor of Dr. Walter Reed's 1901 yellow-fever experiment, which proved the theory that the scourge was carried by mosquitoes and not through miasmic air; of cerebral arteriosclerosis; in Columbia, S.C. A lanky, 25-year-old U.S. Army private stationed in Cuba's Columbia Barracks, Hanberry spent 20 nights in a screened hut, sleeping in the clothing of dead yellow-fever victims without catching the disease, was moved to another isolated shack, where he was exposed to an Aedes aegypti mosquito, which bit him on the knuckles of his right hand, was near death as he fought a 105DEG fever and lost 40 lbs., but finally survived to collect a $300 bonus, a $200-a-month lifetime pension and a special congressional medal. When asked why he volunteered, South Carolinian Hanberry replied: "It was the thing to do." After his Cuban ordeal, Hanberry never again entered a hospital until last December.

Died. Joseph Ridgway ("Uncle Joe") Grundy, 98, millionaire worsted-yarn spinner and Republican politician for more than half a century, whose expression of apple-cheeked innocence belied a diehard brand of economic reaction now known in political dictionaries as "Grundyism"; at Nassau, in the Bahamas. The son of a Pennsylvania Quaker textile magnate who dabbled in politics, Grundy learned early about men and machines, efficiently mobilized them for causes challenged even by some fellow Republicans as "Government by a few, for a few, at the expense of the public," but which he proudly pursued as articles of faith "next to my religion": high tariffs, low taxes, what was good for big business was good for the country. Wearing high-button shoes and puffing a cigar, lifelong Bachelor Grundy was a key man in political backrooms as far back as 1920 when he helped wangle Harding's nomination, remained powerful until he quit politics at 84 in 1947, and lived to see his machine destroyed in 1950 in a bitter wrangle with liberal Republican Governor James Duff.
