Died. Eddie Machen, 40, ranking heavyweight contender during the 1950s and '60s; of injuries suffered when he fell or jumped from his apartment window; in San Francisco. A convict turned fighter, Machen seemed headed for the championship until Sweden's Ingemar Johansson kayoed him in the first round of a 1958 fight.

Died. Milton ("Mezz") Mezzrow, 72, who, after learning to play jazz in a Pontiac, Ill., prison, became one of the most influential white clarinetists of the '30s and '40s; in Paris. Dealing in New Orleans blues, and in marijuana by the pound, Mezzrow became a familiar figure to jazz fans from New York City to the Chicago nightclubs of Al Capone. In 1937 he created one of the first racially mixed bands in the U.S. Though he was a popular performer, Mezzrow's life-style was out of tune with his times, and after a two-year jail term for selling marijuana, he became an expatriate in Paris in 1951.

Died. W.T. (for William Thomas) Grant, 96, founder and honorary chairman of the retail chain that bears his name; of heart disease; in Greenwich, Conn. Grant opened the first of his "250 stores" in a Lynn, Mass., Y.M.C.A. in 1906, and immediately specialized in high-turnover products priced between the nickel and dime items of F.W. Woolworth's and the 500 minimum then common in department stores. Nearly 50 years ago, he decided that the business needed professional managers rather than a merchant at the top, and he gradually withdrew from active participation to devote most of his time to philanthropy and hobbies. The chain continued to prosper, and now includes 1,190 stores in 43 states with annual sales of $1.5 billion.
