He was 80.

The network broke into "Meet the Press" with a bulletin that Sarnoff had died after a long illness. Sarnoff organized NBC in 1926 and headed RCA for more than three decades. When he retired as board chairman in January, 1970, the corporation had annual gross sales of more than $3 billion, employed 128,000 people, and ran 64 plants throughout the world. Born in a small Russian village, Sarnoff came to this country as a boy in 1900. When his father died soon afterward, he went to work selling newspapers and as a delivery boy.

When he was 15, he went to work for the Commercial Cable Co. as a messenger, saved enough money to buy a telegraph instrument and learned Morse code. He went to Marconi Wireless Telegraph Instrument Co. as a clerk. A memo Sarnoff wrote to his superior at Marconi proposing a "radio music box" led to the development of home radio and ultimately to the broadcasting industry.

On April 14, 1912, Sarnoff focused world-wide attention on the vast potential of radio when as a Marconi wireless operator in New York he picked up a message from the British liner DOWN California 2. Face shape 3. Riviert resort 4. "Benevolent" fellow 5. Joe College's yell 6.

Titanic that she had hit an iceberg and was sinking fast.

The ship, on her maiden voyage, went down with the loss of 1,517 lives. For 72 hours, Sarnoff, working in Marconi's station atop a jNew York department store, told the world about the disaster. He relayed names of the 700 survivors. President William Howard Taft ordered all other wireless stations on the east coast silenced to prevent interference. When RCA was formed in 1919, Sarnoff was named com- jmercial manager.

He became I president in 1930, a year after the company acquired the Victor Talking Machine with its ''His Master's Voice" and "Victrola" trademarks. As early as 1923, Sarnoff predicted home television. Sarnoff's French-born wife, Lizette, in an interview on their 50th anniversary in 1957, told how he had proposed. "When I found that he was talking about home radio sets I thought there was something with his brain. I taught him a few phrases in French.

One of them was a proposal. He kept saying it over and over and once, when he sounded serious, I accepted." Besides his widow, Sarnoff leaves three sons--Robert Sarnoff of New York, chairman of RCA; Edward Sarnoff of New York, chairman of tha board of Fleet Services and Thomas W. Sarnoff of Beverly Hills, staff ex- eutive vice president, West Coast, of NBC. Funeral arrangements wera pending. Sarnoff served as an army officer in communications and during World War II was special consultant to Gen.

Dwight D. Eisenhower's headquarters in Europe. He was promoted to brigadier general in 1944. He was decorated by the United States and France and has received 27 honorary degrees from American schools. Two RCA patents are listed in his name--a secret signaling system and an early warning relay system RCA says is related to guided missiles and air combat.
