Irving Lorge, 55, research psychologist and authority on intelligence testing who decried the theory of the immutable intelligence quotient, held instead that proper schooling could raise a child's IQ by 20 points; of a heart attack; in New York City. An outspoken theorist who never lost sight of practicalities, Lorge rewrote wartime OPA regulations into understandable English as part of a crusade for greater readability in public documents, insisted that trashy books do not cause juvenile delinquency and argued that teachers ought to learn the lingo of their students.
Died. Philip B. Sharpe, 57, author and firearms expert who financed his early research by writing detective and adventure stories and who during World War II proved the feasibility of a curved-barrel rifle for house-to-house fighting by putting six shots in an 8-in. bull's-eye at 75 yds. while firing around a corner; of a heart attack; in Emmitsburg, Md.
