Schroeder, 57, leading Congregational churchman, organizer (in 1946) and first chairman of Yale's department of religion, teacher in the Divinity School, author of articles and books (The Task of Religion, Modern Man and the Cross) which emphasized the social importance of religion; after a long illness; in New Haven, Conn. A critic of religious orthodoxy for its own sake, Dr. Schroeder believed that in their scramble for faith and religious security, postwar Americans had sacrificed the "moral naivete" which had made his own generation "mount ethical horses and ride off rapidly in every direction," convinced that they could make the world "a kinder, more beneficent" place.

Died. Baron Erik Fleming, 60, court silversmith of Sweden, architect, sculptor and painter, whose more than 7,000 elegantly wrought coffee sets, platters and vases in gold and silver won him international fame, and whose strikingly simple, mass-produced designs were reflected in household appliances in thousands of postwar homes; in Stockholm.

Died. Billy Beard, 74, famed blackface comedian who, as end man in the Al G. Fields minstrel shows, was known to theatergoers of a generation ago as "the party from the South"; of diabetes; in Atlanta.

Died. Clyde V. Cessna, 74, pioneer aviator, plane designer and manufacturer, founder (in 1927) of the Cessna Aircraft Co. in Rago, Kans. Cessna built his first wooden monoplane in 1911, launched his own business by designing and producing a cantilever monoplane which won every race it entered in 1928 and 1929. He retired in 1934, later saw the company become the nation's largest manufacturer of commercial light planes.

Died. Dr. Kenneth C. M. Sills, 74, longtime (1918-52) president of Maine's Bowdoin College, known to generations of students as the kindly embodiment of Bowdoin's informal, small-college liberal tradition; in Portland, Me. A 1901 graduate of Bowdoin, "Casey" Sills became an instructor in 1903, as president saw the school's endowment rise from $2,000,000 to $12 million (making it one of the richest small colleges in the country). But his interest was less in raising money than in keeping Bowdoin compact and personal, with a faculty of first-rate teachers rather than scholars. "Excellent teaching in wooden halls," he said, "is much better than wooden teaching in marble halls."

Died. Dr. Edward Spencer Cowles, 75, Manhattan psychiatrist whose technique of treating his patients with drugs to relax them, followed by suggestion periods and testimonial sessions, attracted a wealthy clientele and kept him in constant controversy; of a heart attack; in Manhattan. In 1930 his methods were investigated by the state board of education (but no charges were preferred) as a result of the death in his clinic of Actress Jeanne Eagels (from an overdose of heroin) and of the suicide of Chicago Meat-Packing Heir William E. Swift.

Died. Lionel Barrymore, 76, member of theaterdom's famed Drew-Barrymore clan, who, although less colorful than his late brother John or his sister Ethel, was better known than either to millions of Americans for his outwardly gruff but kindhearted screen and radio impersonations; of heart congestion; in Van Nuys, Calif. A sometime painter, composer and novelist (Mr. Cantonwine: A Moral Tale), he appeared in such memorable films as On Borrowed Time, Rasputin and the Empress (with Ethel and John) and Free Soul, for which he won an Oscar in 1931. But most of his fans would remember him longer for two roles in which he flourished, despite a hip injury that forced him permanently into a wheelchair in 1938: Dr. Gillespie of the Dr. Kildare film series and Ebenezer Scrooge in the annual Christmas Carol broadcast.

Died. A. Hyatt Verrill, 83, explorer, author of 105 books on history and travel (Old Civilizations of the New World), one of the developers (in 1902) of the autochrome process of photography in natural color; in Chiefland, Fla.
