Imad ad-Din Zengi, 60-61 (?). Atabeg of Mosul, Aleppo, Hama and Edessa, 1127-1146. Zengi, the son of Aleppo Governor Malik-Shah I, became Atabeg of Mosul in 1127 and Aleppo in 1128, uniting the cities under his personal rule, and was formally invested as their rule by Sultan Mahmud II, adding Hama to his territories in 1130. Mahmud II died in 1131, leaving a power vacuum, and Zengi was unsuccessful in attempting to seize Damascus in 1135 and Homs in 1137. Atabeg Zengi captured the crusader County of Edessa in 1144, and resumed attempts to take Damascus in 1145. He was assassinated by a Frankish slave named Yarankash after the Atabeg drunkenly threatened him with punishment for drinking from his goblet. Zengi was succeeded by Sayf al-Din Ghazi I.

Hiram Wesley Evans, 84. U.S. activist. Mr. Evans was Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan from 1922-1939, taking office after participating in the ouster of William Joseph Simmons. Mr. Evans reportedly participated in acts of violence against minorities, but he publicly opposed such violence as harmful to the KKK's attempts to broaden its appeal and influence. The Klan held its largest marches and achieved its greatest membership and political influence in the early years of Mr. Evans' leadership, but the 1925 conviction of Indiana Grand Dragon D.C. Stephenson for the second-degree murder of a young woman and the revelations of the private behaviour of Klan leaders led to a dramatic decrease in the KKK's membership. Mr. Evans repudiated anti-Catholicism shortly before he resigned as Imperial Wizard in 1939. He died 12 days before his 85th birthday.

Cemal Gürsel, 70. 4th President of Turkey, 1960-1966; Prime Minister of Turkey, 1960-1961.

He resigned as Commander of the Army several days later, freed political prisoners, and licensed banned newspapers to begin publishing again. A new constitution was approved in a referendum in 1961. Gen. Gürsel flew to the United States early in 1966 for treatment of paralysis that was spreading rapidly, but suffered a series of strokes that put him into a coma. He was flown back to Turkey, and the parliament, in accordance with the constitution, terminated his presidency on March 28.

Gordon McLendon, 65. U.S. radio broadcaster and executive. Mr. McLendon founded the Liberty Broadcasting System in 1948, which mainly broadcast studio recreations of major league baseball games, and some live broadcasts of games. The network had as many as 458 stations, second to the Mutual Broadcasting System.

Restrictions on broadcasts of major league games where minor league franchises existed soon put an end to LBS, and it folded in 1952. Mr. McLendon owned numerous radio stations, such as KLIF in Dallas, and pioneered such practices as the use of mobile news units, traffic reports, and jingles. He also experimented with "pirate" radio broadcasts into Europe in the early 1960s. Mr. McLendon died of cancer.
