...Died. Baron Gottfried von Cramm, 67, German tennis star; in an automobile accident; outside Cairo. Graceful Von Cramm won 82 of 102 Davis Cup matches during his 23-year career; his five-set loss to American Don Budge in 1937 still ranks as one of the greatest matches in tennis history. Von Cramm retired from competitive tennis in the mid-'50s, when he became an exporter in Hamburg. He married Dime-Store Heiress Barbara Hutton in 1955; they were divorced...

An Oxonian, Driberg first became known as "William Hickey," a gossip columnist for Lord Beaverbrook's Daily Express (1933-43).
