Died. Harry Balogh, 70, boxing's "Marquis of Malaprop," whose bullhorn ring announcements rattled U.S. stadiums for some 35 purple years; following surgery; in Manhattan. A onetime bellhop from the Lower East Side, Balogh brought "class" to his profession by introducing the soup-and-fish and the comparative adjective (his variation on the ungrammatical "best-man-win" theme: "May the better participant emerge triumphant"), in 1935 capped a lifelong battle against race hate by imploring an inflamed crowd at the Primo Carnera-Joe Louis bout: "Leave us all view this contest without anchor or prejudism."

Died. Lionello Venturi, 76, Italy's goateed, golf-fancying master art critic, who wrote with equal enthusiasm of Jackson Pollock and Piero della Francesca, believed in endless creative evolution ("To paint Gothic in 1400 in Florence was wonderful, but those still painting Gothic in 1450 were poor painters"); of a heart attack; in Rome.

Died. Sir Victor Sassoon, 79, monocled Rothschild of the Orient and owner of one of Britain's finest racing stables; of a heart attack; at Cable Beach, Nassau. Financial chief of a famed British banking clan--and cousin to World War I's angriest young man, Poet Siegfried Sassoon--Sir Victor parlayed a fortune originally built in the opium trade into ownership of much of prewar Shanghai.

Died. Judge Learned Hand, 89, whose incisive opinions made him the most quoted U.S. jurist since Oliver Wendell Holmes; of congestive heart failure; in Manhattan (see THE NATION).

Died. Dr. Willard Travell, 91, indefatigable link in five generations of Travell doctors, a pioneer in galvanism (electrical treatment of muscle disorders), who lived to see his daughter Janet become the White House's first female physician; in New Rochelle, N.Y.

Died. Adeline de Walt Reynolds, 98, Hollywood's oldest active trouper; in Hollywood. Forbidden to enter the theater by her Iowa farm family, "Grandma" Reynolds married a sawmill operator, raised four children, finally achieved her lifelong goal in 1941, when at the age of 78, she was featured with Jimmy Stewart in Come Live with Me, went on to earn credits in 35 films and many TV shows.
