Died. Paul Cardinal Richaud, 80, Roman Catholic Archbishop of Bordeaux since 1950; of a liver ailment; in Bordeaux. Convinced that an active church is a strong one, Richaud supported France's Catholic Action campaign, expanded parochial schools, and reorganized apostolic duties to give laymen more voice.
