Now semicomatose, he is stricken with a formidable array of ailments: kidney failure, heart trouble, internal hemorrhaging, pneumonia, infection and high fever. Yugoslav officials have given Tito up for dead on at least two occasions. Yet the tough old Resistance fighter has continued to defy long medical odds.

Jay Silverheels, 62, the bass-voiced Mohawk Indian who played the masked man's sidekick Tonto after The Lone Ranger series moved from radio to TV in 1949; of complications from pneumonia; in Woodland Hills, Calif.

DIED. Darryl Zanuck, 77, imperious production chief at 20th Century-Fox for 35 years and a thousand films; of pneumonia; in Palm Springs, Calif. The cigar-chomping, polo-playing mogul got his Hollywood break when Warner Bros, hired him as a $250-a-week scenarist for Rin Tin Tin. In four years he was head of production at 20 times that salary. Warner's Wunderkind brought dialogue to feature films (The Jazz Singer, 1927) and pioneered such realistic genres as the gangster and "working gal" films.
