Died. George P. Larrick, 66, Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration from 1954 to 1965; of a heart attack; in Washington, D.C. As head of FDA, Larrick fought for stiffer regulations of food additives, in 1961 prevented the sale of thalidomide because the drug was believed to cause deformed babies, and in 1963 cracked down on the sponsors of Krebiozen, whose claim that their medicine could cure cancer was proved groundless after extensive tests.

Died. Rene d'Harnoncourt, 67, Vienna-born director of Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art from 1949 until his retirement last July; of injuries suffered when he was hit by a car while on a stroll; in New Suffolk, L.I. An authority on primitive art as well as a modernist, D'Harnoncourt first established himself in the United States in 1930 when he gathered and put on tour a formidable (1,200 objects) collection of Mexican artifacts dating back to the 16th century; he went on to teach at Sarah Lawrence College, became art adviser to Nelson Rockefeller, for whom he collected all manner of masterpieces, and helped organize Manhattan's prestigious Museum of Primitive Art. At the Museum of Modern Art, he proved both a brilliant fund raiser and exhibit organizer, putting on more than 20 shows yearly, among the most notable of which was the huge (290 items) 1967 Picasso retrospective.

Died. Torkild Rieber, 86, chairman of Texaco from 1935 to 1940, and overseer of one of the greatest engineering feats in oil-industry history; in Manhattan. Shortly after becoming boss, Rieber bought the idle Barco oilfields, 1,200,000 acres deep in the jungles of Colombia, and during three years of collaboration with Socony-Vacuum Oil Co., hacked a 263-mile pipeline over the Andes to service tankers on the country's Caribbean coast.

Died. Charles E. Sorensen, 86, Henry Ford's production chief from 1919 to 1944; after a long illness; in Bethesda, Md. Impatient, often tyrannical, "Cast-Iron Charlie" devised the moving assembly line, which revolutionized the auto industry and pushed the output of Ford's flivvers past the 30 million mark by the early 1940s. In World War II, Sorensen applied the same principle to aircraft plants which turned out four-engine B-24 bombers at the rate of one every three hours.
