Died. Warner Baxter, 58, veteran cinemactor; after long illness; in Beverly Hills, Calif. Starting out in the movies in 1916, he led a quiet private life, over the years made a smooth transition from romantic roles (To Mary--With Love) to character parts (Kidnapped), won Hollywood's second actor's "Oscar" (1929) as the original "Cisco Kid" in the first outdoor all-talking western, In Old Arizona.

Died. Colonel General Vasily Vasilie-vich Ulrich, 62, who as presiding judge of the Moscow purge trials in the '305 teamed up with Public Prosecutor Andrei Vishinsky to doom scores of erstwhile comrades, won for himself the tag of "Stalin's Executioner," the reputation of having pronounced more death sentences than any other "jurist" alive; of undisclosed causes; in Moscow.

Died. John Kee, 76, since 1933 Democratic Congressman from West Virginia, for the past two years chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee; of a heart attack while conducting a committee meeting; in Washington. A quiet, scholarly lawyer, he hewed faithfully to the Administration line without yielding his right to speak his mind, last fall suggested that Administration officials not concerned with foreign policy should "keep their big mouths shut."

Died.

In Washington he worked unceasingly for a national anti-lynching law. His wife and Mrs. Herbert Hoover scandalized the South when the First Lady received her at a White House tea; shortly thereafter Alabama's late Senator "Tom-Tom" Heflin calculated that to "punch De Priest in the nose" would be worth at least 50,000 votes when Heflin ran for reelection.
