SEEKING DIVORCE. Marion Segal, fortyish, film editor who just finished work on her husband's latest, untitled movie; from George Segal, 48, engaging, boyish star of such marital comedies as A Touch of Class and The Last Married Couple in America; after 25 1/2 years of marriage and two daughters; on grounds of irreconcilable differences; in Los Angeles.

INJURED. Aileen Quinn, 10, freckle-faced star of the movie Annie; with a broken left arm, after falling off her bicycle while riding around near home; in Yardley, Pa. Although released from the hospital after four days, she had to cancel a three-week promotional tour.

DIED. Robert Gottschalk, 64, founder-president of Panavision, Inc., who invented light, noiseless, hand-held cameras and lenses that won him an Academy Award and made "Camera by Panavision" one of the screen's most familiar credits; of stab wounds; in Los Angeles. Police arrested a male houseguest with whom, they say, he had had a "falling out."

DIED. Beirne Lay Jr., 72, writer and pilot who turned his World War II Army flying missions into aviator novels and screenplays, including the 1949 Twelve O'Clock High; of cancer; in Los Angeles. Drawn to becoming an Army pilot by a movie he saw while at Yale, he was shot down over France in 1944 leading a bomber mission. His adventures in the air fueled such movies as Above and Beyond (1952) and Strategic Air Command (1955). Criticized for being monothematic, he replied, "I think the ah" is like the sea; it's a vast medium into which the writer can probe for a lifetime."

DIED. Dan Throop Smith, 74, chief tax economist in the Eisenhower Administration, distinguished academician at Harvard and Stanford's Hoover Institution and longtime conservative advocate of tax cuts to boost the economy; of a heart attack; in Palo Alto, Calif. A precursor of supply-side economists, Smith believed "all taxes are repressive," and supported lower capital gains taxes to encourage risk-taking investments. At the same time, he urged reduction of tax incentives for "safe" investments that do not lead to a greater supply of capital for business. His aim: "To make it easier to get rich but harder to stay rich."

DIED. Katsuko Tojo, 91, widow of Japan's World War II Prime Minister and Imperial Army commander, General Hideki Tojo; in Tokyo. Tojo, who was hanged in 1948 for war crimes, never discussed affairs of state with his wife, and she learned of the attack on Pearl Harbor (which he personally ordered) on the radio. She led a quiet life out of the public eye (though one son last year was named president of Mitsubishi Motors) and remained unwaveringly loyal to his memory.
