Died. Wally Cox, 48, who made bespectacled, reedy-voiced timidity a profitable virtue as TV's Mr. Peepers; of an apparent heart attack; in Bel Air, Calif. After a short career as a nightclub comic and Broadway actor, Cox found stardom when his portrayal of the bungling, mild-mannered science teacher, Robinson Peepers, became a hit in 1952. After the show folded three years later, Cox was unable to shake his Milquetoast stereotype. His slow slide was only slightly interrupted by a short-lived TV situation comedy, minor movie roles, commercials and a stint as a game-show panelist.

Died. Tim Holt, 54, straight-shooting hero of scores of grade-B movie westerns who occasionally starred in better roles (as the greenhorn prospector in Treasure of the Sierra Madre, the grandson in The Magnificent Ambersons); of cancer; in Shawnee, Okla.

Died. Hans Globke, 74, durable German bureaucrat who became a powerful figure in the postwar government of Konrad Adenauer; of pneumonia; in Bad Godesberg. A career civil servant who first served the Weimar Republic, Globke adapted to Nazi rule in the '30s and helped interpret the 1935 Nuremberg Laws, which deprived Jews of German citizenship. He later maintained that he had done his best to thwart the laws, and despite a public outcry, Globke returned to government after the war. He was appointed State Secretary by Adenauer in 1953, and during the next ten years became one of the Chancellor's closest confidants.

Died. David Lawrence, 84, founder-editor of U.S. News & World Report (see THE PRESS).

Died. Achille Cardinal Lienart, 89, staunchly progressive bishop of the industrial diocese of Lille for four decades; in Lille. A champion of social reform in France long before he won a red hat in 1930, Cardinal Lienart was an active supporter of trade-unionism and a leader of the worker-priest movement that sent Catholic clergymen to live among French laborers. Undaunted by either the opposition of industrialists, who dubbed him "the Red Cardinal," or the Vatican's termination of the worker-priest experiment in 1954, he became a leading proponent of church decentralization during Vatican II.

Died. Bessie Greenwood Brown, 92, operatic soprano whose most memorable performance was a practice session in 1901 that attracted President William McKinley to the concert hall at the Pan-America Exposition in Buffalo, where an assassin mortally wounded him; in Buffalo.
