Died. Ernesto ("Che") Guevara, 39, professional guerrilla and long-missing Castro sidekick who hoped to Communize South America; of gunshot wounds; in Bolivia (see THE WORLD).

Died. Gwyn Griffin, 42, British novelist, whose An Operational Necessity, a grim wartime tale of moral choice and murder at sea, rides high on current bestseller lists; of a bloodstream infection; near Introdacqua, Italy.

Died. Gordon W. Allport, 69, giant among U.S. psychologists and longtime (1930-67) Harvard professor; of lung cancer; in Cambridge, Mass. Wary of the sweeping generalities Freud found in the human subconscious, Allport from the start insisted that each personality is an irreducibly unique cluster of character traits; that man acts not so much because of universal primordial drives but rather as a result of individual characteristics developed over a lifetime. It was once a highly controversial idea, but today more and more psychologists are coming around to this view, and his Personality: A Psychological Interpretation, written 30 years ago, is a staple in U.S. classrooms.

Died. Thomas F. ("Tommy") Manville, 73, heir to a Johns-Manville asbestos fortune, much of which he spent on his many wives; of a heart attack; in Chappaqua, N.Y. "I'm the marrying kind," said the dapper Tommy, and he certainly proved the point, running through eleven wives in 13 marriages (longest: eleven years; shortest: 7 hours 45 minutes) in a 56-year mating game. All that sport cost him something like $2,000,000 in alimony and lawyers' fees, but Tommy was ever hopeful. Said he after a four-day engagement to wife No. 5: "We're glad we waited to be sure."

Died. Stanley Morison, 78, British typographer, designer of Times New Roman, one of the world's most widely used type faces; after a long illness; in London. Compiler of several definitive histories of typography, Morison set out in 1932 to develop for the London Times, a type face that would be "masculine, English, direct, simple, and absolutely free from faddishness." His design was all he promised, and was adopted by the Times and literally thousands of other publications, including TIME in 1963.

Died. Vyvyan Holland, 80, only surviving son of Oscar Wilde; in London. As with his brother Cyril, Vyvyan's life was blighted by the shadow of his famed father's 1895 sodomy trial. Only eight at the time, he was spirited away from London by relatives, sent to European schools, given a new name, prevented from attending Oxford because his father was anathema there. Eventually he emerged as a modest writer whose own memories of his father were of "the kindest and gentlest of men, a smiling giant, who crawled about the nursery floor with us and lived in an aura of cigarette smoke and eau de cologne."

Died. Rear Admiral Albert C. Read, 80, commander of the first plane to fly the Atlantic; of pneumonia; in Miami. On May 8, 1919, Read and 17 other Navy flyers clambered into three wood-and-canvas seaplanes, and headed out from Rockaway, L.I., bound for Plymouth, England. Two of the planes were hammered down by squalls off the Azores, but Read somehow kept his NC4 aloft and eventually set down in Plymouth--after 23 days, seven stops, 3,936 miles. Actual flying time: 52 hr. 3 min. for an average of 75.6 m.p.h.

Died. Andre Maurois, 82, France's man of many letters; of complications following abdominal surgery; near Paris. No French author in this century proved so prolific--and few were rewarded with such honors. In a literary career spanning 50 years, Maurois produced over 120 works, including nine novels, three histories, countless articles, reviews, even advice to the lovelorn in women's magazines. But biography was his real forte. His infinitely researched studies of his nation's literary giants--Balzac, Voltaire, Proust, Hugo and Dumas--popularized a new genre in which he attempted to find threads of artistic order in each of his subject's lives, and thus draw unity from what he called "the shapeless mass" of events. A few critics scoffed at his "novelized biographies"; yet he illumined literature for many who would otherwise have missed its delights.

Died. Clement R. Attlee, 84, architect of the modern welfare state in Britain; of pneumonia; in London (see THE WORLD).

Died. Albert Hustin, 85, Belgian chemist who in 1914 discovered that citrate of sodium would prevent bottled blood from clotting, thereby opening the door to blood banks; in Brussels.

Died. Sir Norman Angell, 94, crusading pacifist and winner of the 1933 Nobel Peace Prize; of pneumonia; in Surrey, England. During half a century of writing punctuated by two world wars, Angell published more than 40 books decrying as illusory any "victory" in war and urging meaningful peace through collective security, most notably in Europe's Optical Illusion, a slim pamphlet first printed in 1909 and then, as it became the subject of a raging controversy, expanded into a book-length The Grand Illusion, which was eventually translated into 15 languages.
