Died. George M. Weiss, 77, former general manager of the New York Yankees; in Greenwich, Conn. After joining the club in 1932, Weiss created the farm system out of which grew a Yankee dynasty (19 American League pennants, 15 World Series triumphs). He moved across town in 1961 to serve six years as the first president of the New York Mets.

Died. Jules Remains, 86, French epic novelist, dramatist and poet and founder of the philosophy of unanimism; in Paris. Though his massive output since the turn of the century included successful plays, philosophical essays and mildly erotic fiction, Romains' masterwork was his 27-volume historical novel, Les Hommes de Bonne Volonte (Men of Goodwill). Fifteen years in the writing, with a cast of over 400 characters, the work embodies Remains' unanimist philosophy that man can only be fully defined in the context of the religious, familial and social groups to which he belongs. After completing the final volumes in exile in the U.S. and Mexico during World War II, Romains returned to Paris in 1946 and won election to the French Academy that year. -

Died. Paolo Cardinal Giobbe, 92, eldest member of the Sacred College of Cardinals who, before his promotion to the purple by Pope John XXIII in 1958, served 33 years in the papal diplomatic service as an emissary to Colombia and The Netherlands; in Rome.
