Died. Victor Alexander John Hope, 2nd Marquess of Linlithgow, 64, Viceroy of India for a record 6 1/2 years (1936-43); of coronary thrombosis while shooting game on his estate near South Queensferry, Scotland. An old-fashioned peer who believed that the aristocracy has responsibilities as well as privileges, Lord Linlithgow distinguished himself as a soldier (commander of a Royal Scots battalion in World War I), politician (deputy chairman of Scotland's Conservative Party), businessman (chairman of Midland Bank) and educator (Chancellor of Edinburgh University). As Viceroy of India, he faced with frosty courage his double troubles of constitutional changes and organizing the country for war: he jailed Gandhi and Nehru, suspended the constitution he had helped bring to India, organized an army of 2,000,000, administered what Churchill called "a glorious final page in the story of our Indian Empire."

Born of Russian-Jewish immigrants on Manhattan's lower East Side, Davidson began as a newsboy. In 1907 he headed for Europe with a $40 stake to study art. Since 1910 he had shuttled busily and profitably between the U.S. and Europe. His most important commission: bronze busts of World War I's allied leaders. Davidson's own bland explanation of success: "It's not talent that counts, it's the driving energy."
