Died. Boris Mikhailovich Artzybasheff, 66, one of the art world's most engaging innovators and TIME cover artist (see Publisher's Letter); of a heart attack; in Lyme, Conn. Born in Czarist Russia, the son of a distinguished novelist-playwright, he fought with the Ukrainian army against the Communists in the civil war that followed the 1917 Revolution, emigrated in 1919 to the U.S. with only 14-c- in Turkish coins, worked as an engraver and house painter before achieving recognition for his meticulous drawings of humanized machines and mechanized humans. He produced four one-man exhibits in Paris, illustrated more than 50 books, wrote two children's fables (Poor Shaydullah, Seven Simeons), designed ballet settings, women's clothes, murals, and a Parisian cathedral altar--all of which he created in the belief that "any object which is beautiful and useful" becomes art.

Died. William Jerome McCormack, 74, New York City waterfront's tough, shadowy "Mr. Big," a millionaire industrialist and labor manipulator who began his career at 15 as wagon boy on a onehorse truck, wound up owner of a large stevedoring concern and assorted oil, sand-and-gravel, barge, dredging and contracting companies, and became easily one of the most influential forces in the fierce jungle of the city docks; of a heart attack; in Greenwich, Conn.
