Bert Lahr, Vetern Stage And Screen Star, 72, Dies NEW YORK (AP) Bert sahr, who charmed millions as he Cowardly Lion in "The Wizard of Oz" and in other stage and screen roles and found new ame and fortune by eating poato chips on television, died tolay. The 72-year-old Lahr was vorking on the movie "The Night vhen he They Raided had to be hospitalized Nov.
21 because of a back ailnent. Later he developed pneunonia, but had been reported mproving. His death at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center was blamed on a massive internal lemorrhage. Although he had played every ype of comedy stage and screen and in television, Lahr recently confided that he had never been recognized by passers-by on the street until he did 1 series of television commersals for a potato chip company. He amused new millions of all ages as the who old gentleman- -or old lady- couldn't "eat just one." One of the great comic actors, Lahr's career spanned some 50- years and ranged from the classic Cowardly Lion in "The Wizard Oz" to Estragon in the difficult "Waiting for Godot." Which did he like best? "Strangely enough," he said once, "it was 'Waiting for It was controversial.
Those that hated it, spit at it. Yet it had its cult, and it created a different type of audience for me. "It was like--it was like playing Carnegie Hall. It changed my whole career. Before that I was a buffoon.
This gave me a chance to play Shaw and Moliere." But it is as a clown that Lahr will be remembered by millions who saw him--and who will see him--as the Cowardly Lion. Lahr was born in New York City on Aug. 13, 1895, not from the expensive Fifth Avenue apartment that came with success. As a teen-ager, he joined a children's vaudeville act called "Nine Crazy Kids." "It was horrible," he said, "but I got the bug, you know." Vaudeville and burlesque, Lahr said, provided the birthplace of the true funnyman, Cyprus Accepts 'In General' U.N. Proposal (Continued from Page 1) meeting in Nicosia, Makarios looked pleased, in marked contrast to Vance.
He told news- 67 men: don't think there is a crisis. I mean there is no reason for it." As President Johnson's special envoy, Vance had helped Greece and Turkey reach their agreement on moves to prevent war between the two after the Turks threatened to invade Cyprus because of a clash there last month in which 27 Turkish Cypriots were killed. But to make Greece's concessions go down more easily with the Greek public, the strategy was to have the governments respond to an appeal from Thant rather than give way to each other. Thant apparently changed the terms of the appeal after Vance informed him of Makarios' unyielding resistance. Cypriot Ambassador Zenon Rossides informed Thant Sunday night that his government found the new appeal "particularly constructive" and would submit a written reply.
Premiers Constantine Kollias of Greece and Suleyman of Turkey sent word their governments would "carry out expeditously" what Thant had asked -an end to any threats to each other or to Cyprus and removal of an estimated 12,000 Greek and 1,200 Turkish soldiers on the island illegally. Vietnam Weekend Fighting Is Heavy (Continued from Page 1) er in a month long series aimed at rooting out the Viet Cong from the delta which they dominate. Coronado Nine was launched about Nov. 1 and had been continuing mainly in Dinh Tuong Province. The 502nd Vitt Cong Local Force Battalion has been operating in the area for years.
One of the Communist attacks on U.S. installations was on the main Army headquarters at Long Binh. A second was a few miles from Long Binh, and a third was near an American division headquarters. U.S. Marines turned the tables on the Communists when they ambushed a column of 25 enemy troops two miles southeast of Phu Bai, headquarters of the 3rd Marine Division.
The Marines killed five of the enemy in the brief firefight Sunday night and captured four weapons. One Marine was killed and four wounded. Enemy mortar attacks also were reported Sunday, and the Communists tried to overrun a district headquarters in the coastal lowlands. U.S. Headquarters also announced in a delayed report that an Air Force C7 Caribou transport crashed from unknown causes last Thursday in a dense jungle area 260 miles northeast of Saigon.
All 26 Americans aboard were killed. They included two civilian employes of the U.S. government. In the air war U.S. pilots flew 72 strike missions against North Vietnam Sunday.
Guided by radar through overcast monsoon skies, Marine bombers ranged northwest railroad to attack the supply line from Red China to within 49 miles of the border. The all-weather Intruders hit the northwest line in four places -110, 97, 66 and 60 miles west of Hanoi. A Communist shore battery opened up on the U.S. Destroyer Ozbourn while it was patroling in the Tonkin Gulf off the coast North Vietnam 22 miles north of Dong Hoi. One round crashed through the main deck and exploded in a compartment, but.
the Navy said the destroyer remains fully operational. It was the second time the Oz, bourn was hit in action. It was hit last March 25 and suffered minor material damage but no personnel casualties. Just after midnight Sunday night Communist troops. firing grenades from bazookas made a brief attack on U.S.
Army headquarters at Long Binh, 15 miles north-northeast of Saigon. About 30 minutes after the attack, a fire broke out in a storage area containing asphaltic soil binder and paint and spread to nearby sandbags and miscellaneous supplies. A U.S. spokesman said the fire may have been touched off by four or five grenades which were aimed at a big ammunition dump nearby. The fire was contained within three hours but continued to burn throughout the day.
The spokesman said there was no fire in the ammunition dump. No casualties were reported from the attack. One man suffered minor injuries fighting the fire. It was the second fire in five days at Long Binh. Last Thursday night another blaze burned through 300 tons of paint, lumber, soil stabilizer and water purification chemicals.
The spokesman said its cause is still undetermined. The Long Binh camp, and particularly its ammunition dump, has been a frequent target of Viet Cong attacks. Senate Seeks to Ease Fears Over Cutoff of School Funds WASHINGTON (AP) Sen-1 ate sponsors of a $14.2 billion federal aid to education bill seek administration assurances aimed at easing Southern fears over the cutoff of funds because of alleged segregation. Sen. Wayne Morse, the bill's floor manager, said Sunday consultations were going on with officials of the Health, Education and Welfare Department even while the measure is under floor debate.
Morse said he knew Southern senators "have a great many reservations about the bill" because of the way HEW has proceeded in school desegregation cases. At the same time, Morse and other sponsors of the bill made it clear they did not want to take floor amendments which could have the effect of weakening the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which bars federal aid funds for projects where racial segregation tion is practiced. The sponsors said they hope HEW can come up with some statement about its handling of future desegregation cases which would satisfy the Southerners. The Dixie senators declined to bring up any, of their proposed amendments in the civil rights area when the bill first was called up for debate last Friday. Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield was forced to put the measure over until today.

Russell, D- is the sponsor of a proposed amendment that would bar HEW from cutting off school aid funds to any district Every Successful Man Has An Estate and yours is probably I larger than you think it is.

History Is Made With Transplant (Continued from Page 1) val Medical Research Institute said there was "quite a definite chance" Washkansky might survive two years or more since several dogs which have received heart transplants are still alive two years afterward. One abortive heart transplant effort was made in 1964 at the University of Mississippi. Surgeons there kept a patient alive despite a failing heart in a long but futile wait for a suitable human donor. In desperation they finally transplanted the heart of a chimpanzee, which failed after one hour. The greatest obstacle to success in heart transplants is the human body's own defense mechanism against foreign objects.
To suppress this mechanism SO it won't attack the transplanted heart, doctors were giving Washkansky a number of drugs. But such drugs so depress the defense mechanism that such harmful foreign objects as germs thrive more easily, creating another hazard. "We are just hoping for the best," said Dr. Burger. "The body throws out foreign tissues and he might be able to keep it or not.
The operation was an irreversible step. If the heart i is rejected he dies. It's not like a kidney transplant where the patient can be put onto a machine until another suitable donor is found." A team of 30 medical specialists led by Prof. Barnard performed the operation. "We were all almost tangibly aware that this was medical history in the making," said a young doctor who witnessed the surgery." There was terrific tension.
Most of the time was taken up with anastomosis--the painstaking work of suturing main arteries and veins of the patient to those of the donor heart. "Then, when the last anastomosis was in place they clamped the tubes leading from the heart to the pump. This was leaned forward. There was hush in the theater. "Prof.
Barnard muttered: 'It's going to The four stood back with their surgeons, clasped, waiting. Time seemed to stop. Then the patient's heart took over. Mr. Washkansky was on his own.
"Barnard suddenly peeled off his gloves and said: "I need a cup of Washkansky was under intensive care today. He was conscious, Dr. Burger said, but still unable to speak because of the breathing tubes in his throat. The critical period will come in about a week, said Dr. Louw.
Washkansky was hospitalized three months ago and the heart transplant was proposed about three weeks ago. "He accepted without hesitation," said his wife. "He was only impatient that it could not be done sooner. "Prof. Barnard was absolutely confident.
When I asked him if my husband could come through, he said there was an 80 per cent chance of the success of the actual transplant." Mrs. Washkansky said her husband's heart ailment became serious two years ago and he "could not accept that he might be a semi-invalid for the rest of his life. The thought alone nearly killed him. As a young man he had been robust and had led an active life." Miss Darvall's kidneys were also transplanted at another hospital to 10-year-old Jonathan Van Wyk. His doctors said the operation was successful so far but it had not yet been ascertained whether the boy's body would accept the new organs.
Essential to the five-hour heart transplant were donors of 12 pints of A-RH positive blood, Washkansky's type and Miss Darvall's. The operation proceeded after Miss Darvall's heart was tested and found to be strong, despite her fatal injuries, and blood groups and tissue types were matched. once the school year were under This was regarded by some of the Southerners as an adequate substitute for the amendment of Rep. L. H.
Fountain, put into the bill in the House but knocked out by the Senate Labor Committee. It would have barred HEW from deferring approval of aid applications from school districts believed to be practicing segregation. Under its terms, the department would have been required to go through a lengthy, formal process to cut off funds. The Fountain rider was heavily op-. posed by the Johnson administration.
Peter Libassi, director of HEW's civil rights office, said the Russell amendment would "seriously weaken the entire negotiating by which HEW brings schools into compliance with federal desegregaguidelines. "School districts would take the position that there is no need to make a settlement with HEW," Libassi said in a statement, "because they would have an additional grace period of un to 12 months before they wou'd lose a dollar."

Strom Thurmond, said he was prepared to speak at length against the bill if the Fountain amendment or some version of it were not restored. Other Southerners said no filibuster is planned, however. "I mean the real comics the clowns," he said in 1953.
"The real comic is one who can come out and say 'Hello' and make the audience laugh at him. Bobby Clark and Ed Wynn can do it. You can't name any more. "The trouble with most present- comedians is that they're all alike. They stand up and tell jokes.
That's all they do, and they're only as funny as the jokes that are written for Brooks Atkinson, former drama critic of The New York Times, once said of Lahr: "Mr. Lahr is the sort of expansive clown who can fill a theater with wonderful nonsense without crouching be behind a milcrophone or assaulting the audience with a murderous armfire of He radiates a kind of genial though lunatic good nature." Time magazine said: "He can lose his head splendidly when all about him are stodgily keeping theirs." Lahr made his debut on the legitimate stage in 1927 in "Harry Delmars Revels" and went on to star in many hit musical comedies, including "Flying High" in 1930 "Du Barry Was a Lady" in 1939 and "Life Begins at 8:40" in 1934. His first movie was "Faint Heart" in 1931. In 1963, Lahr's performance as Bottom in "A Midsummer Night's Dream" was judged the best Shakespearean performance of the year by the American Shakespear Theater and Academy. The next year he was back as a romping, roaring clown in "Foxy," a musical loosely based on Ben Jonson's Elizabethan classic "Volpone." Lahr a critic wrote, "is at the peak of his career--a running, roaring fool with startled eyes and Happy "Foxy" Hooligan countenance." was set in 1897 during the Klondike gold rush and the Canadian government invited the production to try out for seven weeks in the Yukon town of Dawson City during the Gold Rush Festival in 1962.
Lahr's dislike for flying forced rearrangement of rehearsal schedules and a month-long trip from New York by train, steamship and bus. Last year Lahr turned up in "The Birds," Aristophanes' satire performed at the Ypsilanti, Greek Theater Festival. He produced old burlesque business with a youthful gleesounding his famed "glanghglangh" noises and grimacing. At the age of 67, when he was about to open in New York in S. J.
Perelman's comedy "The Beauty Part," Lahr reflected on the wide range of parts he played. "At this point in my he said, "I want to develop all career," my alleged talents as much as possible. I've turned down only one thing really--a great role but very abstract and the subject matter was distasteful. "How satisfied have I been with this variety? To the extent that I found I could do each thing. I have a reputation as clown, a low comedian.
Well, a that type of performer has faded out with changing public taste. That began with "Oklahoma!" when the play really became the thing. "Its harder to make people laugh nowadays. Human nature doesn't change, but audiences have become more selective due to the saturation they get in TV and movies. "What's happened to the camaraderie of show business? You feel you're surrounded by vultures in the trees, waiting to knock you off.
"People pitch more curves today. I guess a reviewer gets recognized by being snide, and I think people like to read pans more than praise. Not just about show business-about all kinds of things and events in the world. It wasn't that way years ago." Lahr made his first stage appearance at the age of 15 in a school vaudeville act. After his 1927 Broadway debut he appeared in "Hold Everything" in 1928, and "'Hot-Cha!" in 1932.
He appeared in "George White's Music Hall 1932 and 1933 and "George White's Scandals" in 1935. In 1936 he was in "The Show is On," "Burlesque" in 1946, "Two on the Aisle" in 1951, "Hotel Paradiso" in 1957.
