Gimbel, one of the last of the nation great merchant princes, died Thursday of cancer at the age of 81. Gimbel, who parlayed a family business started by a peddler grandfather into a $535 million empire succumbed at His hotel Pierre apartment after a year-long battle against hte disease. His philanthropist wife, Elva, was at his side when death came at 12:45 a.m. EDT. Funeral services will be held Sunday at Temple Emanu-el on Fifth Avenue. The handsome, energetic hoosier became head of Gimbel Brothers, Inc., in 1927 but he had directed much of its growth since 1909 when he became vice president. The firm's stores, which bear the names of Gimbels of Saks Fifth Avenue number 52 and are scattered from coast to coast. Gimbel was chairman of the board from 1953 until his death but had relinquished the position of chief executive officer to his son, Bruce, in 1961. Gimbel's grandfather, Adam, founded a retail store in Vincennes, Ind., in 1842. seven years after he had emigrated from Bavaria. His "Palace of Trade" was unique because it insisted on fixed prices and refused to bargain with customers as was standard practice then. In, 1887 Adam's seven sons transferred, the business to Milwaukee and later established a second store in Philadelphia, to which the family moved. Bernard Gimbel grew up in there and was graduated from the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton school of Finance in 1907. He was a football star and university boxing champion. Young Gimbel gambled the family fortune when he insisted on moving into the highly competitive New York market in 1910 and rented a site at 33rd Street and Broadway next door to long - established which both stores relish for its publicity values sprang up immediately. The New York enterprise was a success and the Gimbels were able to help finance the Fifth Avenue store for a Herald Square neighbor, Saks, a firm which later became a Gimbels' subsidiary. By 1944, Gimbels was the nation's largest retailing firm in volume of goods sold and Bernard Gimbel was No. 1 merchant. Gimbel ruled his empire from a 10th floor office of the Herald Square store, a sanctum lined with autographed pictures of friends including Franklin D. Roosevelt and Winston, Churchill. He became ill a year and a half ago and underwent an operation for cancer of the spine. He suffered a recurrence of cancer several month ago. Gimbel and his wife, a social and civic leader in her own right, called a Greenwich Conn., estate, "Chieftains," home and kept a stable of hunters and jumpers there. In addition to his wife and son, Bruce, the deceased is survived by another son, Peter, twin daughters, Mrs. Hope G. Solinger and Mrs. Carol Lebworth and 12 grandchildren. The honor of representing her country in the London beauty pageant was bestowed when the pert 21-year-old won over a bevy Of 12 island beauties in the Miss Jaycee Bahamas Content. She was crowned by ... Miss Miami, the Sparkling Pat Fowler, who recently competed in the Miss America pageant. The new Miss World entry is a shapely 5 feet. 7 inches tall, weighs 130, pounds, and measures 36-24:39. The swimsuit and evening dress competition in the ballroom of Nassau's Sheraton- British Colonial Hotel was held under the patronage of the Premier the Hon. Sir Roland Symonette. Every aspect of the gala affair was royal, even to the music which was provided by the Royal Bahamas Police Band. Throughout the judging, the dark eyed Miss Cooper flashed the winsome smile with which she won the title. "Miss Amity", in the Miss Bahamas Pageant last May. "I always feel pretty sure about the things I do, but this I didn't expect. My head is in the clouds," admitted the airline stewardess. As Miss Miss Jaycee Bahamas 1966 Dorothy not only gets to compete in the Miss World contest but also has the opportunity to study at a college of her choice for a year on a Bahamas Junior Chamber of Commerce scholarship. "I've never been to London, but every Bahamian hears so much about the Mother Country that there is hardly one of us who hasn't at some time or the other, expressed the keen desire to go there," she explained in wild anticipation. Miss Jaycee's trip to London is being sponsored by the Bahamas Ministry to Tourism. Other awards went to Ivy Elden, first runnerup, who will visit the 1967 World's Fair in Canada, and Lana Munnings, second runnerup, who will have a weekend in Jamaica. The queen and her court will have a royal drive on October 12, Discover Day, a public holilday in the Bahamas, when the Jaycees hold a float parade through Nassau. This will be the queen's last official appearance before leaving for London and the November 17 Miss World contest at the Lyceum Ballroom. Asked to assess her chances in the international contest, Miss Jaycee modestly replied: "Well, I'll be among some of the world's most beautiful girls, getting a lot of opportunities to see and do things which ordinarily wouldn't come my way. This, in itself, is a crowning glory for me." If gracefulness, poise, personality, intelligence all in a bundle of feminine pulchritude, mean anything in a beauty contest, then Miss Jaycee Bahamas 1936 will make her presence felt. Reduction Of Chronic Mental Illness Foreseen By Physician Proper use available drugs and of psychapeuti techniques will make the "chronic schirenic .... less so" and substantially reduce chrome psychoses, Dr. Sidney Cohen suggests in the current issue of a new medical magazine. Journal of Psychopharmacology. Dr. Cohen's conclusion is the result of a survey of 62 papers published in the last two years on the tranquilizer, thioridazine or Mellaril. He is chief of psychoomatic service. Vetera, Administration Hospital. Los Angeles, and associate clincal professor of medicine. University of California Los Angeles. Dr. Cohen credits the class of drugs known as phenothiazines with making possible succesful treatmen, of schizophrenia and this reducing chronicity. Of this Group of effective drugs, he cites hioridazine (Mellaril) as causing only minimal side effects. He states: "Now that aggressive (phenothrazine) treatment techniques for all acute emotional disorders are developing, we can look forward to a substantial reduction in the chronic psychoses." One undesirable side effect of some phenothiazines, Dr. Cohen notes, is depression. Mellaril. by contrast has been used to reverse depressions induced by other phenothiazines. Dr. Cohen offers, as an explanation of this paradox, the fact that Mellaril's molecular structure differs from others in its class of drugs by having a "piperadine ring" in its side chain. This ring is often a component of stimulants. Dr. Cohen reviews a study in which 77 patients were treated on a comparative basis with thioridazine and imipramine, a nonphenothiazine antidepressant. The patients were categorized as anxious, depressed, 41 cases hostile depressed, 25; retarded depressed, 11. Mellaril was "significantly su perior" in the first two categories, imiprami in the third. Dr. Cohen concludes his survey with a summary which begins: "This survey of the recent lterature on thioridazine confirms the earlier impression that it is as effective an antipsychotic agent as any now available. It also has value in the pharmacotherapy of anxiety and in the hostile or agitated depressed patient. "Thioridazine shares certain side effects with other phenothiazines. These include such autonomic reactions as dry mouth, postural hypotension and drowsiness." Central - nervous - system reactions, such as tremor, he points out, "are seen less frequently with thioridazine than with the other drugs of this group." "Certain other phenothiazine complications" he adds, "are never or very rarely encountered during thioridazine administration." Among these he lists launice. photo - sensitivity resulting in skin - color changes, and nulocytosis which is a serious reduction in white blood cells. Thioridazine (Mellaril) was developed in the research laboratories of Sandoz Pharmaceuticals, Hanover, N. J.

NURSE SHORTAGE — At a recent hearing on the critical nurse shortage by the New York State Joint legislative Committee on the Problems of Public Health and Medicare, Committee Chairman Senator Norman F. Lent is flanked by two key witnesses testifying on the recruitment of Negroes into nursing. At left is Robert A. M. Peterson, vice president-marketing, Ex-Lax, Inc.; at right is Mrs. M. Elizabeth Carnegie, associate editor, Nursing Outlook Magazine, official publication of the National League for Nursing. Negroes Should Be Recruited To Fill Big Nurse Shortage Efforts to recruit Negro high school girls into the nursing profession were described by two witnesses before the Joint Legislative Committee on Public Health and Medicare. Testifying at hearings before the committee, headed by New York State Senator Norman F. Lent, were Mrs. M. Elizabeth Carnegie, associate editor of Nursing Outlook, and Robert A. M. Peterson, vice president for market ing of Ex-Lax, Inc. A registered nurse herself, Mrs. Carnegie suggested that nurse recruitment should start at the junior high school level, where counselors should channel graduates into high school courses, designed to meet the requirements of nursing school. Moreover, she said, Future Nurse Clubs and other junior high school functions should be strengthened to acquainh Negro girls with the bright professional future they can attain as nurses. Mrs. Carnegie, a Negro, deplored the slim representation of Negroes in the student bodies of professional Nursing schools in New York State. She cited statistics according to which Negroes constituted only 3.4 per cent of the total enrollment in New York State Nursing schools in 1963. A current survey, now un der way, shows only slight improvement. Tackling the problem of industrial participation in nurse recruitment, Mr. Peterson explained Ex-Lax's role in attracting Negroes to the nursing profession. The company's effort consisted of a wide distribution of information pamphlets, seminars conducted at Harlem Hospital and other hospitals outside New York State, and a comprehensive radio campaign over a network of 58 Negro-audience stations. "Business firms are potentially able to supply much of the needed manpower, funds and expertise in cooperative efforts with non profit organizations toward the goal of alleviating a critical social condition," he told the committee. So far, he said, 16,000 of the recruitment pamphlets, produced by ExLax as a public service, have been distributed through Negro hospitals and nursing schools. This month, some 10,000 official National League for Nursing recruitment posters contributed by Ex-Lax. will be distributed, many of them for use in high schools across the country. The new poster features a white nurse, a Negro nurse and a male nurse walking side by side down a hospital corrid. This is the first time a Negro nurse or a male nurse has appeared on an official poster. Ex-Lax decided on a recruitment campaign in early 1985 when the critical nursing shortage was brought to the attention of Roy M. Goodman, then president of Ex-Lax and now Director of New York City's Finance Administration. The decision to concentrate on recruiting Negroes to the profession was based on statistics which showed that, while, Negroes consetitute 10.5 per cent of the nation's population, they account for only 3 per cent of professional nurses in the country. In her teestimony, Mrs. Carnegie drew a distinction between professional nursing. Mrs. Carnegie had high praise for the Sealantic Fund, established by the late John D. Rockefeller, Jr., which offers assistance to Negroes seeking to enter the nursing profession. Similarly, she cited the efforts of the Mount Sinai Hospital School of Nursing in going directly to the Negro community with its recruitment program. In addition to the efforts that should be made at the junior high and high school levels, Mrs. Carnegie urged support of Senator Javits' amendment to the Allied Health Professional Personnel Training Act, already passed by the House of Representatives. The amendment provides for scholarship support for prospective nurses in professional schools. ONE LITTLE PIMPLE Don't let the tormenting itch of skin miseries drive you to scratch, scratch, scratch.

De Gaulle's Pullout May Oust Him From NATO De Gaulle himself insists he still is. In various speeches since he first served notice last February that he is getting out of NATO's military setup, De Gallue has emphasized France still remains a member of the North Atlantic Alliance signed in 1949. He draws a fine distinction between the alliance and NATO as the organization which sprang from its several years later. De Gaulle likes to recall that during the cuban crisis in 1962 he was the first allied leader to pledge al - out support to President John F. Kennedy. He insists it would be the same if the war chips were down again. But since the beginning of this year De Gaulle has been disengaging France relentlessly from NATO in a way that many allied diplomats consider leaves his membership of the alliance in shreds. He first served warning of his ntion in a news conference Feb. 21. He followed this in March with memoranda to the United Etates and all other NATO member countries giving them formal notice. On July 1 all French troops and air units in West Germany were withdrawn from NATO command and French officers were pulled out of NATO headquarters. NATO was ordered to remove its two military headquarters from France by April 1, 1967. The United states and Canada were given notice also to get their troops and air bases out of this country by the same deadline. Last May De Gaulle withdrew the usual permits valid for one year for allied planes to fly over and land in France. The permits were continued, but on a skimpy monthto-month basis. On Sept. 7. France served notice it no longer would pay its share of NATO's farflung ports, airfields, pipelines and other similar installa tions. France also announced it would not pay its share of most NATO military budgets from 1967 onwards. Wednesday Frances declared that from Oct. 1 it is withdrawing from NATO's senior militray policy making body — the 15-nation military committee in Washington. Efforts by the United States, West Germany and France's other NATO partners to reach agreement on the legal status of French troops in Germany and how far they woull cooperate with NATO forces in an emergency have been deadlocked since July. French officials say De Gaulle regards all this as logical consequences of his action announced last February and March and that it makes no difference to his membership of the alliance.
