Married. Sir Compton Mackenzie, 82, crusty old man of Scottish letters (96 biographies, plays, essays and novels, among them Tight Little Island); and Lilian Macsween, 46, spinster sister of his late wife; he for the third time; in Edinburgh.

Died. Willard Motley, 52, chronicler of Chicago's Skid Row, a Negro who refused to write about his own race (he once called James Baldwin "a professional Negro"), instead peopled his two best-known novels (Knock on Any Door, Let No Man Write My Epitaph) with a collection of whoring, murdering, dope-addicted slum whites as if to prove that Negroes have no monopoly on crime or misery; of gangrene of the intestines from a neglected infection; in Mexico City.

Died. Pepper Martin, 61, charter member of the St. Louis Cardinals' famed Gashouse Gang in the 1930s, an outfielder and third baseman known to his fans as "the Wild Horse of the Osage" for his lunging batting style and stampeding base-running, whose finest hour came in the 1931 World Series against the Philadelphia Athletics which he won almost singlehanded, stealing five bases and batting 12 for 24; of a stroke; in McAlester, Okla.

Died. Brace Beemer, 62, last of radio's Lone Rangers, whose booming "Hi Ho, Silver, Awaaay!" thundered across the air waves from 1941 to 1954 and found its echo in his private life, which he tuned to the Ranger's personality by abstaining from swearing, smoking and drinking, while zealously riding the country's rodeo circuit with black mask, pistol, bullwhip and his white steed named Silver; of a heart attack; in Oxford, Mich.

Died. Chen Cheng, 67, Vice President and former Premier of Nationalist China, an austere soldier-statesman who was Chiang Kai-shek's strong right hand from the early 1920s onward, fought against the warlords, the Japanese and the Communists, introduced the 1949 Taiwan land reform that made 90% of the farmers masters of the land they worked, and until his own ill health and the rising fortunes of Chiang's son reduced his power, was regarded as the Generalissimo's heir presumptive; of liver cancer; in Taipei.

Died. Adolf Scharf, 74, President of Austria since 1957, a Viennese Socialist who, as vice chancellor during the postwar years, shares credit with the late Chancellor Julius Raab for Austria's economic recovery and the 1955 departure of Russian occupation troops, later, as President, quelled a series of rebellions within his Socialist party, thus keeping alive the government's 19-year-old Socialist-Conservative coalition; of liver cancer; in Vienna.

Died. Aubrey Williams, 74, first and only boss of F.D.R.'s National Youth Administration, a gaunt, Alabama-born liberal who helped organize the NYA in 1933 to help Depression youngsters escape from "the dilemma of no experience, no job; no job, no experience," over the next ten years built it into a $50 million-a-year agency providing vocational training for youths from 16 to 25, an idea resurrected last year as the Job Corps by one of his old state directors, Lyndon B. Johnson; of intestinal cancer; in Washington.

Died. Baron Morrison of Lambeth, 77, Deputy Prime Minister in Britain's postwar Labor government (1945-51), the perky Cockney sparrow who organized Civil Defense as Home Secretary in Churchill's wartime coalition government, later became Clement Attlee's top domestic administrator when his own party came to power, spearheading the conversion to peacetime industry and the drive for higher living standards, all of which won him promotion to Foreign Secretary following Ernest Bevin's death in 1951, and a peerage in 1959; of a cerebral hemorrhage; in London.

Died. Thomas Francis Sullivan, 82, railroad conductor, whose moment of tragic fame came in 1942 when his five sons went down with the cruiser Juneau off Guadalcanal, after which he stoically toured U.S. war plants urging other fathers, "Never be sorry for the boys who die in battle, but be so proud that you will put your shoulder to the wheel and work all the harder"; of a heart attack; in Waterloo, Iowa.
