Died. Nancy Pigott Kefauver, 56, widow of Tennessee Senator Estes Kefauver; of a heart attack; in Washington, D.C. A vivacious Scottish-born artist and dress designer, she traveled with her husband all through his 24-year political career, pumping thousands of hands as tirelessly as he, prompting Estes to call her "my secret weapon." After his death in 1963, she remained in Washington as art consultant to the State Department, decorating the walls of U.S. embassies around the world with American paintings...
Died. Tara Singh, 82, crusty champion of religious and political rights for India's 8,000,000 Sikhs; of a heart attack; in Chandigarh, India.

He lacks the philosophic gravitas that his theme calls for. Perhaps he would have summoned more compassion for his subject had he chosen a family less demonic and closer to what one hopes to be the demographic norm...
...effect of the place is singularly noble and solemn, and it is impossible to feel it without a lifting of the heart. It stands there for duty and honor, it speaks of sacrfiice and example, seems a kind of temple to youth, manhood, generosity. The simple emotion of the old fighting-time came back to him, and the monument around him seemed an embodiment of that memory; it arched over friends as well as enemies, the victims of defeat as well as the sons of triumph...
