Died. Louis Shonceit, 69, owner of Mackey's Inc., one of Broadway's biggest ticket brokers, who peddled 200,000 seats a year to a clientele that ran the gamut, Shonceit liked to say, from George Abbot to Darryl Zanuck; after a long illness following a stroke in 1965; in Palma de Mallorca, Spain.

Died. Goodwin J. Knight, 73, Republican Governor of California from 1953 to 1958, and power in state politics; of pneumonia; in Inglewood, Calif. An energetic campaigner, "Goodie" Knight served two terms as Earl Warren's Lieutenant Governor, then succeeded him in office and made his own mark with the voters, winning by a landslide in 1954. Long at odds with the state's conservative wing, Knight blamed Richard Nixon for his defeat in the 1958 senatorial election, and in 1962 made it an open fight in the gubernatorial primary -which went to Nixon.

Died. Dr. Heinz Hartmann, 75, Vienna-born pioneer of psychoanalysis; of a heart attack; in Stony Point, N.Y.

Died. Clifford R. Hope, 76, longtime (1927-56) Republican Congressman from Kansas; following a series of strokes; in Garden City, Kans.

Died. Joseph Wood Krutch, 76, author and critic, who in his later years won renown as a naturalist and conservationist; of cancer; in Tucson, Ariz. Prolific as well as scholarly, Krutch reviewed plays for the Nation from 1924 to 1952, during which time he published a dozen volumes of literary biography and theatrical history. In 1950 he left New York for Tucson, where he fashioned a new career out of his love of nature; his writings celebrated the land and its creatures (The Desert Year, The Forgotten Peninsula, The Great Chain of Life), and expressed a yearning for a simpler, more contemplative life. "If you drive a car at 70 m.p.h.," he once wrote, "you can't do anything but keep the monster under control."

Died. Martin Branner, 81, cartoonist, who in 1920 created the Winnie Winkle comic strip that still runs in more than 150 papers; of heart disease; in New London, Conn.
