Died. The Rev. Guy Emery Shipler, 86, controversial Episcopal clergyman, editor since 1922 of The Churchman, an influential monthly unofficially allied with the Episcopal Church; of a stroke; in Arcadia, Calif. A rebel from his student days at New York's General Theological Seminary, Shipler spent a lifetime being for or against virtually every cause that crossed his ken; he supported voluntary euthanasia and liberal divorce laws, feuded with the Roman Catholic Church by stating that Yugoslavia's Archbishop Aloysius Stepinac was a "quisling collaborator of Hitler." Indeed, after World War II, The Churchman was accused of leaning so far left that in 1948 George C. Marshall felt compelled to refuse its Good Will Award.
