Conable 81, a 20-year Republican congressman who was his party's standard-bearer on taxes, trade and Social Security and who later served as president of the World Bank, died Sunday. Mr.

Conable, who collapsed in September with a blood infection, died at a hospital in Sarasota, of complications from a staph infection, his family said. Representing a largely rural section of western New York from 1965 to 1985, Mr. Conable rose to be senior Republican on the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee while the GOP was the minority party.

Mr. Conable was a rare politician a conservative with a socially libertarian streak, a deep thinker with a prag- matic flair. Legislating was more important to him than partisanship. It was no surprise when both parties judged him the "most respected" member of the House his final two years in office.
