DIED. Jerome Cavanagh, 51, Detroit's mayor from 1962 to 1970; of a heart attack; in Lexington, Ky. Cavanagh rose to national prominence as an early champion of federal aid for decaying urban centers, but his political fortunes collapsed in the wake of his city's 1967 race riots.

DIED. Joyce Grenfell, 69, lanky, toothy British comedienne known for her hilarious one-woman shows and film portrayals of such dotty spinsters as the policewoman who poses as a girls' school sports mistress in the 1954 farce The Belles of St. Trinian 's; of cancer; in London.

DIED. Herbert ("Zeppo") Marx, 78, last of the madcap Marx brothers; of lung cancer; in Palm Springs, Calif. The youngest Marx was pulled out of high school to replace his brother Gummo, who left the family vaudeville team before it moved to Hollywood. Cast as the straight man, Zeppo joined Chico (who died in 1961), Harpo (1964) and Groucho (1977) in five classic films, but he tired of his role and left the group after the release of Duck Soup in 1933. "He was a lousy actor," grouched Groucho, "and he got out as soon as he could." But Zeppo eventually became the richest of the brothers, working variously as a talent agent, an airplane parts manufacturer and a citrus grower. His marriages (one to the current Mrs. Frank Sinatra), gambling sprees and occasional public scraps kept him in the limelight when Hollywood no longer did, but he spent his last years quietly in a Palm Springs mobile home.
