DIED. Josef Frings, 91, outspoken West German Roman Catholic Cardinal; of a heart attack; in Cologne. Named Archbishop of Cologne in 1942, Frings denounced the Nazi persecution of the Jews during World War II, and after the war condoned his destitute countrymen's scavenging for food and coal (such justifiable theft became affectionately known as "fringsen"). Appointed a Cardinal in 1946, he strove for a politically active church and during the Second Vatican Council (1962-65), successfully challenged the authority of the conservative Roman Curia. In 1969, nearly blind and in poor health, Frings retired from the archbishopric.
