Died. Dr. Detlev Bronk, 78, former president of both Johns Hopkins and Rockefeller Universities and founding father of American biophysics; after a brief illness; in Manhattan. An advocate of curriculum reform, in the early 1950s Bronk inaugurated the Hopkins Plan, under which qualified undergraduates were allowed to take courses at the university's graduate school. He transformed the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research into a university by adding a graduate program that gave no grades and conferred only doctorates. He staffed it with a brilliant faculty that outnumbered the student body by 2 to 1 when he retired in 1968. Bronk served as a science adviser to Presidents Truman, Eisenhower and Kennedy while he headed the National Academy of Sciences from 1950 to 1962. When the Russians launched the first satellite, Sputnik I, in 1957, Bronk sounded a cold war alarm and warned Americans to abandon "shorter work weeks and longer coffee breaks," lest they fall behind the Soviet scientific establishment.

Died. Generalissimo Francisco Franco y Bahamonde, 82, dictator of Spain since 1939, who once declared himself "responsible only to God and history"; in Madrid (see THE WORLD).

Died. Harry Anslinger, 83, single-minded head of the Treasury Department's Bureau of Narcotics from its creation in 1930 until he retired in 1962; in Hollidaysburg, Pa. Convinced that "all dope" from marijuana to morphine was dangerous, the bullnecked, bald Anslinger wanted to "get rid of drugs, pushers, and users. Period." He urged judges to jail offenders, then "throw away the key." After Anslinger helped push through the Marijuana Tax Act in 1937, arguing that "an epidemic of dope addiction" was crippling America's youth, marijuana was virtually banned from medical practice and deleted from the United States Pharmacopoeia. Anslinger denounced as "soft" all proposals to legalize drugs or to adopt British-model maintenance programs for dispensing heroin to registered addicts.

Died. Ernest Hamlin Baker, 86, meticulous artist who executed nearly 400 cover portraits for TIME over a period of 20 years; following a lung embolism; in Norton, Mass. Starting with the Polish Pianist-Statesman Ignace Paderewski in 1939, Baker's subjects included William Randolph Hearst, John L. Lewis, Dwight Eisenhower and Charles de Gaulle.

Died. Arthur Ernest Morgan, 97, educational innovator, author and chairman of the Tennessee Valley Authority from 1933 until 1938, when F.D.R. dismissed him following a policy dispute; in Xenia, Ohio. A surveyor's son, Morgan studied civil engineering in the early 1900s and became one of the nation's top specialists in flood control. In 1913, after a flood hit Dayton, Morgan went there to build the first major diversion reservoir in the U.S. During the next few years, he noticed that many of the college-trained engineers working for him lacked practical skill; to remedy the situation, in 1920 he became president of Antioch, a small college in Ohio, and set up the now famous curriculum that combines periods of study with periods of on-the-job training.
