Died. John Thomas ("Pappy Jack") Doyle, 66, the most reliable odds-maker in the U.S.; of a heart attack; in Jacksonville. For 30 years owner of "Doyle's Billiard Rooms," hangout popular with Broadway sports, he was an elegantly dressed raconteur with a prodigious memory, who got to know almost everybody from Diamond Jim Brady up & down, became the unofficial odds-maker of the betting world, a sort of one-man Lloyd's.

Died. Albert Kahn, 73, world's No. 1 industrial architect, "father of modern factory design"; in Detroit. Son of an impoverished rabbi, he immigrated from Germany with his family when he was 12, worked for Detroit Architect George D. Mason for 14 years, opened his own office when he was 26. He and the automotive industry's mass production grew together and Kahn's factory designs--"all-under-one-roof," later "all-on-one-floor"--became part & parcel of developing U.S. production; industry's demands for his services made Kahn a mass-producer himself. Ultimately he designed some 1,000 buildings for Henry Ford (including the vast Willow Run bomber plant), 127 major plants for General Motors, in four decades planned two billion dollars' worth of industrial building. Russia gave his engineers charge of the first Five Year Plan's heavy industrial building program; they built 521 factories in two years.
