DEPORTED. Valerian D. Trifa, 70, Archbishop who has headed the 35,000-member Rumanian Orthodox Episcopate of America since 1958; for lying about his leadership of a pro-Nazi Rumanian youth organization in order to obtain U.S. citizenship in 1957; to Portugal, after a nine-year legal battle in the U.S. Trifa surrendered his citizenship in 1980 rather than face trial on charges that from 1936 to 1941 he headed an offshoot of the infamous Iron Guard, the Rumanian equivalent of the Nazi SS, and that he incited an abortive Iron Guard rebellion that became a three-day pogrom in which hundreds of Jews and Christians were murdered. Admitted to the U.S. as a displaced person in 1950, he became a bishop in 1952.

DIED. Tigran Petrosian, 55, one of the great grand masters of chess, renowned for his brilliant defenses, who held the Soviet national championship four times and the world title from 1963 to 1969; after a long illness; in Moscow.

DIED. J.B. (for John Boynton) Priestley, 89, prolific English man of letters whose accessible, entertaining novels and plays, criticism and essays earned him great popularity but never quite a major critical reputation; after a brief illness; in Alveston, England. Wounded three times in World War I, he went to Cambridge on a serviceman's grant. His two blockbuster novels, The Good Companions (1929) and Angel Pavement (1930), both filled with ordinary, likable characters, gained him fame; during the next decade he devoted himself mainly to the theater, writing and staging such works as Dangerous Corner and Time and the Conways. His pessimism about the world infected his later work, which often satirized his country and countrymen. Priestley long refused all honors, including a knighthood and peerage, but consented to accept the Order of Merit from the Queen, an honor limited to 24 living Britons.
