Died. James Jewell, 69, early radio producerdirector; of a heart attack; in Chicago.

He's broken up with his girlfriend so he hitched up from Ketchum--about seven hours away--to do some fishing. The streams are high and muddy, and the trout few, 6-10 gets...
Died. Rupert Fothergill, 62, Rhodesian game ranger who headed "Operation Noah," a five-year (1959-63) rescue effort that saved more than 6,000 warthogs, monkeys, snakes, lions, elephants, rhinos and other wild beasts from the rising waters of a man-made lake behind the Kariba Dam on the Zambezi River; of a heart attack; in Salisbury, Rhodesia...
