Generally Pleased. Burch will replace Chairman Rosel H. Hyde, whose seven-year term expired June 30 but who agreed to remain on the job pending the appointment of his successor. The President is also expected to name Robert Wells, president and general manager of radio station KIUL in Garden City, Kans., to fill the FCC seat being vacated by Commissioner James J. Wadsworth. Because both new appointees will replace Republicans, Nixon presumably will have to wait until next summer, when Democrat Kenneth Cox's term expires, before he gains control of the seven-member commission...
Died. Guy Rowe, 75, U.S. artist whose intensely realistic portraits (with the signature "Giro") graced more than 40 TIME covers; of cancer; in Huntington, N.Y. Rowe discovered his talent via a vaudeville act in which he drew chalk portraits of well-known people; he saved enough money for art school, became a New York commerical artist, and in 1943 won his first TIME commission. The association was interrupted from 1945 to 1949 while he worked on 32 highly acclaimed illustrations to Biblical characters for the book In Our Image: Character Studies from the Old Testament. Then he went back...
Died. Dame Ivy Compton-Burnett, 85, British novelist whose 19 books provided an acerbic commentary on the Edwardian era; in London.

Yet she was a master of dialogue, uncovering the tragicomic foibles of upper-class England in such books as The Mighty and Their Fall and Bullivant and the Lambs...
...politics, as in much else, Shaw was often preposterous. One after the other, as the dictators appeared, he applauded Mussolini. Hitler and Stalin -in the no-nonsense manner of a Fabian socialist committee-on the grounds that they were cleaning up a mess. Such obtuseness in a man whose life is a record of devotion to decency in human life can be explained only as an aberration, perhaps a dramatist's occupational disability of putting his own words into the mouths of other characters. Lenin saw Shaw as "a good man fallen among Fabians." Shaw, perversely, seemed to regard...
...much has been lost to art, to journalism and to life itself by the extinction of the great Victorian know-it-alls, the proud and prodigious polymaths of an age whose greatness is now seen to lie in the clever children who wrote its obituary? As these collections again attest, the cleverest child of all was George Bernard Shaw, who could invent a new name for God and tackle anything and anyone, even though he could never learn to eat and drink or make love like other men, occasionally shut up, or even master the bicycle...
