Died. Diana Cooper DeBakey, 62, wife of Dr. Michael E. DeBakey, the pioneer in cardiac surgery and transplants; of a heart attack; in Houston.

Died. Llewellyn Thompson, 67, diplomat and Kremlinologist; of cancer; in Bethesda, Md. Thompson made deft use of two valuable assets: patience and a thorough knowledge of his opponent. The career Foreign Service officer successfully negotiated the Austrian State Treaty with the Russians, ending Austria's postwar occupation, and the Trieste settlement resolving the Italian-Yugoslav dispute over the Adriatic seaport. His two tours as Ambassador to Moscow (1957-62 and 1967-69) covered some explosive moments in U.S.-Soviet relations, including the U-2 incident and the 1961 Berlin crisis, but through it all Thompson maintained excellent rapport with Soviet leaders. He was also valued for his ability to analyze Soviet intentions and predict how the Kremlin would react in specific cases; thus the White House sought his advice during the Cuban missile confrontation.

Died. Walter Lang, 73, motion-picture director for 36 years; of liver failure following surgery; in Palm Springs, Calif. Hollywood was making silent movies when Lang arrived in 1925, but he made the jump into talkies, Technicolor and wide screens with ease. He directed nearly 40 films including Cheaper by the Dozen, Call Me Madam, Can Can and The King and I.

Died. Sinclair Weeks, 78, crack Republican fund raiser who became President Eisenhower's Commerce Secretary; of cerebral arteriosclerosis; in Concord, Mass. The son of a Boston financier, Weeks was a G.O.P. stalwart throughout the party's lean '30s and '40s and served as treasurer of the Republican National Committee during the war. In 1952 Weeks raised $6,000,000 for the campaign. As a Cabinet officer (1953-58), he was best known for his successful advocacy of the Administration's multibillion-dollar highway program and his support of U.S. investments abroad.

Died. May Craig, 83, matriarch of the Irish theater; in Dublin. In 1907 Craig appeared in the first performance of J.M. Synge's The Playboy of the Western World, at Dublin's Abbey Theater. By the standards of the time, the play was considered risque and derogatory to Irish society; the controversy escalated to street riots. Both Craig and the Abbey survived the dispute. She cultivated an American audience during six U.S. tours, and remained a trouper for more than 60 years.
