Friday, Jul. 19, 1968
Born. To Huntingdon Hartford, 57, A. & P. heir, and Diane Hartford, 26, his third wife, a willowy ex-model he married in 1962: a girl, their first child; in Manhattan.
Died. Clyde M. Warrior, 28, Oklahoma Ponca Indian who founded and led the National Indian Youth Council to fight for "Red Power" and against the frustrations he encountered that turned him into an alcoholic; of cirrhosis of the liver; in Enid, Okla. In 1963, when few Americans linked Indians with civil rights, Warrior participated in the March on Washington, shortly after formed his youth council of 2,000 braves, which is dedicated to winning real acceptance for the nation's 600,000 red men and women.
Died. Dusty Boggess, 64, one of baseball's best-known men in blue during 19 years as a National League umpire; in Dallas. A burly, rubber-faced Texan, Boggess was the target of one of the game's more notable rhubarbs--on July 4, 1945, when he thumbed out the Brooklyn Dodgers' Leo Durocher, bringing down such a rain of missiles that cops had to hustle him from the field. His peers, however, rated him high enough to ump five All-Star games and four World Series.
Died. Edgar Monsanto Queeny, 70, president (1928-43) and board chairman (1943-60) of Monsanto Co., the nation's third biggest chemical maker after Du Pont and Union Carbide; of coronary thrombosis; in Ladue, Mo. Through judicious acquisitions and canny expansion into new products, Queeny raised Monsanto to the widely diversified giant that today chalks up annual sales of more than $1.6 billion.
Died. Sir Roy Dobson, 76, chairman (1963-67) of the giant Hawker Siddeley Group and wartime head of A. V. Roe & Co., makers of the famed Lancaster bomber; of lung cancer; in Midhurst, England. The emphasis was on fighters in 1940, and Aircraft Czar Lord Beaverbrook turned Dobson down when he asked permission to build a super-bomber; Avro tackled the project on its own, by war's end had produced 7,500 "Lancs" which helped pound Nazi Germany into rubble.
Died. Sir Alexander Cadogan, 83, British diplomat who was his country's first delegate to the United Nations; in London. Cool and detached, impeccable in dress and manner, Cadogan came to epitomize the "Foreign Office type" during his 42-year career, was a chief wartime adviser to Winston Churchill as head of the Foreign Office from 1938 to 1946, and with peace sounded a note of quiet logic amid all the squabbles at the infant U.N.
