Monday, Oct. 11, 1976
Married. Clarence M. Kelley, 64, FBI director, and Shirley Dyckes, fortyish, a former school teacher and nun; in Maggie Valley, N.C. Kelley's first wife died of cancer last November.
Died. Hondo Crouch, 60, self-proclaimed mayor of the central Texas town of Luckenbach (pop. 21); of a heart attack; in Johnson City, Texas. Crouch bought deserted Luckenbach "lock, stock and parking meter" five years ago. He invited visitors to such celebrations as a Susan B. Anthony Chili Championship and the Luckenbach World's Fair, which drew 10,000 last year.
Died. William Zeckendorf Sr., 71, high-flying New York City real estate tycoon; of a heart attack; in Manhattan. Working with some of the world's leading architects, Zeckendorf built such monuments as the Mile High Center in Denver and Montreal's Place Ville Marie. But the wheeling and dealing backfired in 1965 when his firm, Webb & Knapp, went bankrupt with a debt of nearly $15 million.
Died. Marion B. Folsom, 82, former Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare in the Eisenhower Administration; in Rochester. As an executive of Eastman Kodak during the 1920s, he was a leading proponent of corporate unemployment and pension plans; the programs he established at Kodak and other Rochester firms became models for the nation. During the Depression, Folsom helped frame federal unemployment programs and the Social Security system, acknowledging that private resources were no longer adequate. His HEW tenure (1955-58) was marked by a greatly expanded budget for programs such as federal aid for school construction.
Died. Dr. Morris Fishbein, 87, author, newspaper columnist and outspoken editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association for 25 years; in Chicago. Fishbein, TIME'S first medical consultant, became editor of the Journal in 1924. He built it into an authoritative source of information for doctors, but his increasingly strident defense of the medical status quo led to his ousting in 1949.
Died. Leopold Ruzicka, 89, Swiss chemist whose research into the makeup of hydrocarbons won him the 1939 Nobel Prize; in Zurich. Ruzicka was the first to synthesize the male hormone, testosterone, and he identified the various chemical compounds that produce the distinctive flavor of the raspberry. The artificially fruit-flavored foods that abound today are a result of his findings.
