Edmund Aloysius Walsh, S.J., 71, geopolitician, longtime foe of Communism and leading authority on Russia, who founded (1919) and directed (1919-55) Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service; of a brain hemorrhage; in Washington, D.C. Jesuit Walsh directed (1922-23) a Papal Relief Mission in Russia, denounced Communism bitterly on his return to the U.S., warned against disarmament, advocated universal military training after World War II, said (1950) that the U.S. would be "morally justified'' in starting a preventive A-bomb war if it had "moral certitude" that a sneak attack were imminent, called the Russian Revolution "the most important single political upheaval since the fall of the Roman Empire."

Died. Dr. Vladimir Petrovich Filatov, 81, leading Soviet eye surgeon and medical researcher, who developed (by 1936) one of the earliest successful techniques for corneal transplants; in Odessa.

Died. Pio Baroja y Nessi, 83, famed old dragon of Spanish literature (The Struggle for Life, Youth and Egolatry), whose bitter, free-thinking attacks on church and state kept him in hot water, and whose hard-scratch realism in more than 100 novels made him a candidate (1946) for the Nobel Prize; in Madrid. A lifelong bachelor (he thought Spanish women were churchbound, thus intellectually inferior), Don Pio practiced medicine less than two years, ran a bakery with his brother, job-hunted across Europe, finally took up writing ("a means of living without a livelihood"). His harsh, simply written novels broke with the florid Spanish tradition, last month (TIME, Oct. 29) earned him homage and a present (socks, Scotch and a sweater) from Disciple Ernest Hemingway.

Badoglio won fame and quick promotions as a field officer in World War I, was named army chief of staff in 1919. He cared little for Fascism but cooperated with Dictator Mussolini after he took over in 1922, became head of the joint chiefs of staff in 1925, resigned the post in disgrace (1940) after Italy's abortive Albanian campaign, later was called out of retirement to replace Mussolini (July 25, 1943) as head of the shaky Italian government, signed the armistice in September, nine months later dropped out of sight when his government collapsed and was re-formed by a National Liberation Committee.
