Died. Robert Donat, 53, English stage and cinemactor, memorable Schoolmaster Chipping in the screen adaptation of James Hilton's novel Goodbye, Mr. Chips; after a lifelong battle with asthma; in London. An actor at 16, he put in the better part of ten years absorbing the rough, tiring, incomparable dramatic education offered by provincial repertory work. In 1930 he arrived in London's West End, began a series of outstanding appearances (in Precious Bane, A Sleeping Clergyman, Shaw's St. Joan and The Devil's Disciple), which reached its height in his superb treatment of Archbishop Thomas Becket in T. S. Eliot's Murder in the Cathedral (1953). On the screen, meanwhile, he was achieving international celebrity, won the 1939 Oscar for Goodbye, Mr. Chips, also made such first-rate films as The Private Life of Henry VIII, The Thirty-Nine Steps, The Ghost Goes West, The Winslow Boy. This spring, making The Inn of the Sixth Happiness with Ingrid Bergman, he could barely find breath to say his lines, collapsed soon after his last scene was shot.

Died. Jean Harlow Carpenter Bello, 67, mother of Cinemactress Jean Harlow (real name: Harlean Carpenter); of heart disease; in Los Angeles' Good Samaritan hospital, where 26-year-old Jean Harlow died in 1937 of cerebral edema following acute uremia. An authentic stage mother, Jean Bello made no secret of her onetime ambition to act, took her teen-age daughter to Hollywood in the late '20s, launched her career with exotic fuel. First, Harlean was willed her mother's maiden name; then the family took up residence in a multi-roomed home, gave lavish parties. Mrs. Bello and Jean zipped around town in a chauffeur-driven limousine. At the wheel: Marino Bello, stepfather and obedient husband. Before long, Howard Hughes signed Jean for Hell's Angels, type-cast her in a sternum-cut evening gown, matched it with deathless dialogue ("Do you mind if I slip into something more comfortable?").

Died. Pierre-Etienne Flandin, 69, onetime (1934-35) French Premier, known for his great height as "Le Gratte-ciel" (The Skyscraper); after long illness; in St.-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, France. As Foreign Minister in 1936, Flandin strongly advocated armed Franco-British resistance to the Nazi occupation of the Rhineland--an action that might have cut short the growth of Hitler's power. Showing no tricolor when war came, Le Gratte-ciel turned up in the Vichy government, stood trial in 1946 for collaboration, smooth-talked his way out of imprisonment.

Died. Clarence De Mar, 70, seven-time winner of the Boston Marathon, who last competed in the 26-mile, 385-yd. race just four years ago, once loped 38 miles to catch a train; of cancer; in Reading, Mass.

Died. Sam Higginbottom, 83, onetime (1939-40) Moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A., longtime missionary to India, former president of Allahabad Christian College; after a heart attack; in Port Washington, N.Y. British-born, U.S.-educated Sam Higginbottom, distressed by man's fate in the India he first visited in 1903 ("In those villages it took no effort to die"), studied agriculture at Ohio State University, returned to introduce crop rotation, irrigation and contour farming.
