Died. Joseph Robert Rupley, 24, California Peace Corpsman stationed in Venezuela since last September; of a bullet wound inflicted when trigger-happy Caracas plainclothes policemen mistook him and three fellow corpsmen for Communist terrorists, shot out the tires on their station wagon when they ignored an order to stop, then fired point-blank when the Americans climbed out with their hands up, hitting Rupley in the heart and critically wounding David Glover, 25, of Grosse He, Mich., in the stomach.

Died. Joan Merriam Smith, 28, daredevil aviatrix who last March set out to retrace the ill-fated Amelia Earhart's 1937 flight plan in hopes of becoming the first woman to solo around the world, despite frozen landing gear, leaky gas tanks, engine trouble and poor weather, touched back down at Oakland, Calif., 27,750 miles and 57 days later--only to have a rival, Jerry Mock, flying a route 4,000 miles shorter, beat her by 25 days; of injuries sustained when the rented Cessna 181 she was flying with a friend crashed near Big Pine, Calif., six weeks after she walked away unscathed from the crash of her own Piper Apache.

Died. John Hays Hammond, 76, electronics inventor who at the age of 23 set up his Hammond Radio Research Laboratory, over the years collected some 350 patents for inventions ranging from the prototype of the modern vacuum radio tube, bought by RCA for $500,000 in 1926, to the first radio-guided torpedoes, while pouring his considerable royalties into his Gloucester, Mass., home, a massive Gothic castle complete with moat, drawbridge, and a 10,000-pipe, 100-stop organ (he was no kin to the Hammond organ family); of hepatitis; in Gloucester.

Died. Jan Carl Van Panthaleon Bar on Eck, 84, founder and former president (1923-36) of Shell Union Oil Co., U.S. branch of the vast Royal Dutch/ Shell complex, a Dutch nobleman's son who in 1911 was sent across the Atlantic to investigate the possibilities for a foreign company in a land already rich in oil, tapped enough Stateside wells and strung enough competitive gas stations across the continent to make Shell a giant of U.S. industry (it now ranks seventh in oil, 15th among all U.S. companies); of lung cancer; in Santa Barbara, Calif.

Died. Paul Joseph Sachs, 86, longtime (1917-48) professor of fine arts at Harvard, who in his dual role as associate director of the university's Fogg Museum helped make it one of the country's finest museums (most notably for its collection of European drawings), as well as the No. 1 training ground for aspiring curators (his students have run, among many, Manhattan's Metropolitan, Boston's Fine Arts, Washington's National Gallery), teaching them above all else to upgrade the quality of their museums' art--even if it meant selling the trustees' favorite paintings; in Cambridge, Mass.

Died. John Breck Sr., 87, founder and chairman of the biggest U.S. shampoo-maker (15% of the market), a onetime Massachusetts fireman who started mixing chemicals in the early 1900s when his own hair began to thin, built his concoctions into a $28 million annual business with the help of one of the U.S.'s most distinctive ad campaigns, featuring for the past 25 years portraits of silken-haired blondes, most of whom were his own granddaughters and great-granddaughters; of leukemia; in Springfield, Mass.

Died. Billy Bowlegs III, 103, patriarch of Florida's 1,500 surviving Seminole Indians, whose stories of the old warrior days and Everglade hunter's skill (nine deer in a single day) made him both a prime source for historians and a favorite guide for such sportsmen as Henry Ford and Thomas Edison; on the reservation near Brighton, Fla.
