June 30, Some areas subject and and Tuesday, Sept. 29, 1981 Philadelphia Inquirer Obituaries Romulo Betancourt, Venezuelan ex-president NEW YORK Romulo Betancourt, 73, the former president of Venezuela whose name signified the fight for democracy to millions of Latin Americans, died here Monday. Mr. Betancourt, twice president of his homeland first from 1945 to 1947, as head of a revolutionary junta, then from 1959 to 1964, after an election died at Doctors Hospital of complications from a stroke, said a hospital spokesman, Sharon Albert. The former president was rushed to the hospital in "a deep coma" Thursday after being stricken while in the Manhattan apartment of a friend, the hospital said.

He was staying with the friend while here to work on his memoirs. Mr. Betancourt had to endure long years in exile, in prison or living underground. He once was seriously wounded by dynamite in an attempt on his life that killed his top military aide. The stocky, pipe-smoking Social Democratic leader was once called "a miracle in Latin American politics" Romulo Betancourt because he left the presidential palace as poor as he entered it.

"The only wealth that I have left is my honor," Mr. Betancourt often said. Mr. Betancourt was born Feb. 22, 1908.

In 1965, he pledged $6 million to help found the experimental Hampshire College, which was begun with the cooperation of Amherst, Mount Holyoke and Smith Colleges, the University of Massachusetts and the Ford Foundation.

After going to Caracas to enter a law school, turned the traditional "students' week" in 1928 into a series tour of fierce speeches and demonstra-' tions against military dictator Juan Vicente Gomez. As a result, Mr. Betancourt, spent his 20th Caracas Central first of several birthday, incarcerations there. After he was freed, he joined a group of students and workers in 1929 in a fruitless armed attack against a military barracks in Caracas. The result for Mr.

Betancourt was his first of several trips into exile. In the 1940s and 1950s he lived in exile in Curacao, Costa Rica and Chile, traveling throughout the Americas enlisting help in his fight against the dictatorship. His first victory came in 1945, when a military rebellion succeeded in toppling the a dictatorial regime in Venezuela. Mr. Betancourt was named president of a revolutionary junta and remained in power for almost three years.

He presided over the first free elections in Venezuela and handed the presidency to his old friend and professor, Romulo Gallegos, one of Venezuela's top novelists. A coup toppled Gallegos and sent Mr. Betancourt into exile again. He had to wait for another decade, until 1958, when another civilianmilitary rebellion toppled the regime of Gen. Marcos Perez Jimenez.

A junta took power and Mr. Betancourt won a free election. Communist-inspired guerrillas seriously endangered the young democracy during his term from 1959 to 1964. A severe economic crisis exploded in a series of street riots. Mr.

Betancourt left office in 1964, handing power to his elected successor, Raul Leoni. Survivors include his wife, Renee Hartmann Betancourt, and his daughter, Virginia. Dr. George W. Corner, endocrinology pioneer By Burr Van Atta Inquirer Staff Writer Dr.

George W. Corner, 91, whose pioneering work in endocrinology led to the discovery of progesterone and to the development of the birthcontrol pill, died Monday while visiting in Huntsville, Ala. He lived on Rittenhouse Square. Dr. Corner was credited with the first explanation of the physiology of the menstrual cycle and with the codiscovery of the hormone progesterone.

Working at the University of Rochester with Dr. William M. Allen, he succeeded in isolating the hormone and demonstrating its role in the female reproductive system. Work with the hormone made possible the development of the birthcontrol pill. One of the intellectual leaders of the medical world, for 17 years Dr.

Corner directed affairs of the American Philosophical Society, the learned society founded in 1743 by Benjamin Franklin at 104 S. Fifth St. From 1960 to 1977, he was executive officer of the society. He retired from the post in 1977, but continued until the end of last year a as the society's editor and chairman of the research committee. Friends said the physician had gone to Huntsville to visit his son, George Corner professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Alabama Medical School there.

University settings held pleasant associations for him. He had spent much of his life on one campus or another. Dr. Corner was educated at Johns Hopkins University, and was a professor of anatomy there and at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and several other institutions. During the early 1950s, he served as the George Eastman visiting professor at Balliol College, Oxford University, England.

Upon his return to the United States, he was named a visiting investigator by the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research. He laid the basis for much of his significant work during his years 1923 to 1940 at the University of Rochester. It was there that he and Dr. Allen, then a post graduate student in medicine, met and began their collaboration. Dr.

Corner was director of the department of embryology at the Carnegie Institution of Washington from 1940 to 1955. He also held positions with numer. ous professional organizations, including the presidency of the American Association of Anatomists and the vice presidency of the National Academy of Sciences. He supplemented his scientific writings with works addressed to general audiences, including Two Centuries of Medicine, a history of the University of Pennsylvania Medical School, produced for its bicenntennial celebration in 1965, and a biography of Elisha Kent Kane, a 19th century Philadelphia physician who led two arctic expeditions. According to Dr.

Luigi Mastroianni professor and chairman of the department of gynecology at Penn, Dr. Corner was a man more interested in people than events, a man intrigued by the role played by personalities in scientific discoveries. "He was a most sociable person," Mastroianni said, "an enthralling conversationalist." Dr. Corner was a warm lecturer and always drew a crowd, Dr. Mastroianni said.

His outlook played a major role in his success at the lectern. "The scientist, being human, cannot have the cold and impersonal character that is sometimes ascribed to him," Corner once said of his own career. "He is, in fact, generally a happy person, for he always has something to do.
