Died. Rt. Rev. Charles Gore, 78, retired Bishop of Oxford; of influenza and pleurisy; in London. A famed Anglo-Catholic, he long sought rapprochement between Roman Catholics and Anglicans.

† Forthright, tart-tongued, intellectual, is Daughter Ivy Litvinov. Often a member of Russian delegations in her own right, at Geneva in 1929 she termed U. S. Ambassador Gibson "a contemptible little bounder." A dabbler in literature, she has a mystery thriller to her credit. In Moscow it is her duty to give the best, biggest official parties.
