Williams Dies at 94 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS AUSTIN, Texas Funeral services will be today for Roger J. Williams, a leading authority on nutrition who died at age 94. A professor emeritus at the University of Texas, Williams died Saturday of pneumonia in an Austin nursing home.

He had been in ill health for several months, but still kept in touch with UT scientists, many of whom he persuaded to come to Austin. Williams' work in nutrition at the UT Clayton Foundation Biochemical Institute, which he founded, led to the discovery of more vitamins and their variants than at any other research facility in the world. He was particularly interested in the role nutrition played in physical and mental -being. Until he retired in 1985, Williams worked regularly in his laboratorv. Williams was a proponent of "biochemical individuality," a concept that no two people are exactly alike physiologically and therefore everyone has different nutritional requirements.

One of Williams' most significant accomplishments was the discovery and isolation of pantothenic acid, one of the "universal vitamins" required by all living cells and essential to life. Brig. Gen. Charles Banks Dies THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN FRANCISCO Retired Marine Corps Brig. Gen.
