Breckenfeld came by his expertise in environmental problems through his long association with two former Time Inc. magazines, Architectural Forum and House & Home. Born in San Francisco, he was graduated from the University of California (Berkeley) in 1941 and, after four years in the Army, spent five years on the San Francisco Examiner before coming to Architectural Forum in 1951.

Died. Alan Mowbray, 72, British-born character actor whose career spanned some 300 films; of a heart disease; in Hollywood. It pained Mowbray to be typecast as the perfect butler, which he played in 1937's Tapper and only four other films. In fact, he was so much at home in such roles (the tax-tortured tailor in The Boys from Syracuse, 1940; the lacy interior decorator in Jackpot, 1950) that the late John Barrymore could call him "a worthy adversary...
