IWX OBITUARIES Lord Brockway; British Socialist, Champion of African Nationalism chael Foot said: "I Ic was one of the very greatest libertarian socialists of this century, and all democratic socialists all over the world honor him." Once describing himself as a humanist but not an atheist, Hrockway declared: "I don't know if there is a God or an afterlife, and I don't particularly worry about it. But if there is, the best way to prepare is to work for justice here now." ber for Africa." In the 1960s ho led public campaigns to end the civil war in Nigeria, the Vietnam War and the nuclear arms race. Neil Kinnock, leader of the Socialist opposition Labor Party, said: "Throughout the whole of this century, in Britain and in so many other countries, he was an inspiration to all who love liberty and work for socialism." Former Labor Party leader Mi Hrockway served five prison terms during his turbulent life.

Two of them, one with hard labor, resulted from his militant pacifism during World War I. The other three stemmed from demonstrations against the hydrogen bomb, capitalism and racialism. He was a champion of African nationalism and during his years in the Commons was sometimes referred to by parliamentary colleagues as "The Honorable Mem mm From Times Wire Services I.ONDON-l-onl Hrockway, the veteran Socialist, pacifist, political wniiT and prison inmate who spent his life trying to release prisoners and redress injustices, has died, his family said Friday. The campaigner for India's independence from Britain and champion of African nationalism was Si) and died Thursday night at Watford General Hospital in Hertfordshire outside London. "He was someone who over the years had a great influence on many Socialists and was also a great fighter for freedom in colonial countries," said Hob Hughes, a Labor member of Parliament and anti-apartheid activist.

Archibald Fcnncr Hrockway was born in Calcutta, India, the son of a clergyman, and was educated in Hritain at the School for the Sons of Missionaries. During World War I. Hrockway became secretary of the No Conscription Fellowship. He was later joint secretary of the British Committee of the Indian National Congress, editor of the publication India, joint secretary of the Prison System Inquiry Committee, and chairman of the No More War Movement and War Resistor's In- ternational. In he was a fraternal delegate to the Indian Trade Union Congress and Indian National Congress, and in 1929 he was elected to the British House of Commons as a Labor Party legislator.

In the early 1930s, he transferred his allegiance to the Independent Labor Party, becoming its chairman in 1931. But he rejoined the main Labor Party in 1946. Throughout his Commons career Hrockway campaigned for abolition of the House of Lords, the unclect-ed upper house of the British Parjiamcnt, on grounds it was a bastion of privilege. But in 1964 he accepted a life peerage from Queen Elizabeth II, which automatically gave him a scat in the Lords. He said at the time that he accepted the peerage reluctantly, but he attended debates in the Lords regularly.

Wrote About 30 Books Brockway wrote about 30 books, mostly on politics and social issues. In his autobiography, he recalled encounters with his close friend, the Irish-born playwright and Socialist George Bernard Shaw; with George Orwell, the left-wing British author of "1984," "Animal Farm" and other books, and with Mahatma Gandhi, whose campaign for Indian freedom from British rule culminated in independence in 1947.

Legasov's foreign colleagues in nuclear power research had praised his openness in discussing the causes and effects of the Chernobyl accident, in contrast to initial Soviet delay in releasing information about it.

The accident spread radioactivity worldwide. A physical chemist, Legasov was the first deputy director of the I. V. Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy and was a member of the Presidium of the Soviet Academy of Sciences. The official obituary praised his work in the use of nuclear reactors to generate electricity and also his work with inert gases.

Legasov headed Soviet delegations to meetings on the Chernobyl disaster of the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency. In August, 1986, he made a five-hour presentation of the Soviet investigators' report on Chernobyl to the agency. The report blamed human error rather than faulty equipment. Tass said Legasov made a "significant contribution in the working out and realization of immediate measures aimed at liquidating the consequences of the accident." MOSCOW W-Valery A. Legasov, head of the commission that investigated the Chernobyl nuclear power accident two years ago, has died at the age of 51.

the Soviet news media announced Friday. Neither Tass nor the evening television news broadcast Vremya gave the cause or place of death. The official Tass news agency said Legasov died Wednesday, a day after the second anniversary of the April 26, 1986, explosion and fire at the nuclear power facility in the Soviet Ukraine that killed at least 31 people. It was not known if Legasov head of the I. V.

Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy in Moscow and a noted reactor designer was exposed to dangerous levels of radiation while investigating the Chernobyl disaster, the world's worst nuclear power accident. Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev and other top Communist Party officials and scientists signed the obituary carried by Tass. Legasov 's name had been absent from the dozens of Soviet media reports on Tuesday's anniversary of the accident at the nuclear facility 80 miles north of Kiev. He did not appear at a Moscow news conference held by the Soviets' top nuclear power specialists Wednes PASSINGS C.

Martin Duke; Key Figure in Study of Quakes C. Martin Duke, a UCLA professor of engineering and applied science who for many years was a leading figure in earthquake research in the Southland, died Tuesday at a Newport Beach convalescent home of the complications of Parkinson's disease. The civil engineer who had overall responsibility for the report on the devastating San Fernando earthquake of 1971 was 70 and had retired from the university in 1980, moving to Orange County. A UCLA spokesman said that Duke phoned Washington minutes after the Sylmar quake struck on Feb. 9, 1971, and received permission to conduct a comprehensive study of the temblor and its aftereffects.

Duke and his students spent months in the field, producing what was then the most massively documented report on any quake. He said in an interview with The Times in 1975 that his study "proved anew that many older structures erected before the 1933 building codes went into effect arc the most hazardous." At that time there were still 40,000 such structures in Los Angeles County, mostly in the poor sections of the inner city. Duke joined the fledgling UCLA College of Engineering in 1947 after serving as an instructor at UC Berkeley, where he had graduated. Duke, often honored by the American Society of Civil Engineers and other professional groups, is survived by his wife, Saga, a daughter and a brother. 90 DAYS same as cash o.t.e.
