Obituaries Missing nightclub manager indicted Thomas S.K. Scott-Craig, 83; traveler, Dartmouth professor Joseph M. McDonough at 68; operated Lowell funeral home 1 building funds of St Joseph's and Lowell General hospitals and was a corporator of the Central Savings Bank and the Lowell Boys Club. He sat on the boards of directors of the Merrimack Valley Catholic Charities and the Lowell Association for the Blind and was a member of the Lowell Art Association. He was a tenor soloist with the Highland Players and the Immaculate Conception Choir.

He was a past president and member of the board of directors of the Massachusetts Funerals Directors Association. He leaves his wife, Ann M. (McLaughlin); four sons, Joseph M. Jr. of Exeter, N.H., John L.

of Lowell, Mark W. of Tyngsborough and Michael H. of Boston; two daughters, Catherine M. Galica and Elizabeth A. Trudel, both of Chelmsford; and five sisters, Margaret E.

Rynne of Lowell, Elizabeth Lynch of Connecticut, Eleanor Wilson of Ware, Virginia MacLellan of Tewksbury and Constance Mclnerney of Lowell; and 10 grandchildren. A funeral Mass will be said at 10 a.m. Saturday in Sacred Heart Church in Lowell. Burial will in St Mary's Cemetery in Tewksbury. According to his son, Professor Scott-Craig, wrote the pronunciation guide "because he was tired of going to church every Sunday and hearing the names in the Bible mispronounced." Before joining the faculty of Dartmouth College, Professor Scott-Craig had been visiting professor of church history at Drew University, guest assistant in New Testament Greek and apologetics at the General Theological Seminary in New York and assistant professor of Engish and lecturer in Christianity and western civilization at Hobart College.

During his tenure at Drew University in the mid-30s, Professor Scott-Craig had a brief fling with American motoring. "He purchased a large Nash autombile," his son said, "but he never did learn to drive it "He thought the idea was to straddle the white line in the middle of the road to stay clear of danger." His friends quickly convinced him to give up driving and, for the remainder of his career, Professor Scott-Craig never took a job to which he couldn't walk. And that was just fine with his son, who fondly remembers growing up with on the campus of Dartmouth College. But one thing perplexed him. What did his father do for a living? When he finally got up the courage to ask, the professor responded.

"Son, I teach the truth." He leaves his wife, Mary E. (McCormick); a daughter, Catherine Newell of Bethel, Maine; two sons, John S. of East Lansing, and Walter K. of Davenport, and five grandchildren. A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m.

By Matthew Brelis GLOBE STAFF Steven A DiSarro, the missing one-time manager of The Channel nightclub and an associate of reputed Mafia members, has been indicted by a federal grand jury on bank fraud charges. DiSarro has been missing since May 10 and law enforcement officials believe he may have been killed by mobsters fearing he had become an informant The indictment was returned by a grand jury on July 15 and unsealed two weeks ago. "Law enforcement agents have questioned numerous individuals regarding the whereabouts of defendant DiSarro and have advised them that there is a federal warrant outstanding for his arrest," Assistant US Attorney Brian T.

Kelly wrote in a motion to unseal the indictment. Neither Kelly nor Assistant US Attorney David Abelman, who assisted in the DiSarro bank fraud case, would comment. Law enforcement sources have said State Police and the FBI are conducting a joint investigation into reputed New England Mafia boss Francis P. (Cadillac Frank) Sa-lemme, South Boston crime boss James J. (Whitey) Bulger and Bulger's longtime associate, Stephen (The Rifleman) Flemmi.

The sources also have said DiSarro could provide incriminating evidence against Salemme and his son, Francis P. Salemme Jr. DiSarro has been described as a close friend of Thomas Hillary, a reputed mob associate who has agreed to testify against the younger Salemme, who faces trial in US District Court next year on charges of bribing Teamsters. 1 I 1J 1 i I A rS' 4X I Joseph M.

Thomas O. Gaiy, President By Tom Long GLOBE STAFF Thomas S.K. Scott-Craig of Hanover N.H, former professor of philosophy at Darmouth College, died Tuesday in the Brookside Nursing Home in White River Junction, Vt He was 83. Professor Scott-Craig was a specialist in the philosophy of religion, but his wide-ranging interests also included the philosophy of art, medieval philosophy and existentialism in literature. He earned a bachelor's degree in divinity and a master's degree and doctorate as well at the University of 'Edinburgh.

Although he immigrated to the US in 1935 and became a US citizen in 1944, his speech never lost a trace of Scottish burr. Professor Scott-Craig, who also studied at the Universitites of Zurich and Tuebingen, joined the faculty at Dartmouth College as an assistant professor in 1944. Early in 1945, he returned to Scotland upon the death of his father. When it came time to go back to Dartmouth, the US war effort had tied up all available shipping space so he hired on as a crew member on a Liberty ship, where he swabbed decks, worked in the linen room and helped with the ship's accounts. Acoording to his son, John, Professor Scott-Craig often found imaginative ways to book passage to his homeland.

He remembered being treated in princely fashion as a 5-year-old when his dad arranged cut-rate passage on an Atlantic crossing by becoming recreation director on the ship. In 1946 Professor Scott-Craig was promoted to full professor at Dartmouth, a job he held until his retirement in 1975. In 1969 he visited India and Nepal on a humanities grant to study the philosophy of the subcontinent -According to his son, who was a Peace corpT-volunteer in Nepal at the time, "he enjoyed hunself a great deal" and visited Benares, the "Indian Hindu capital the Hindu equivalent of Rome" and Katmandu, where the temples are a "remarkable hybrid of Hindu and Buddhist deities." His son remembered one incident during the trip, when the US ambassdor offered to ferry Professor Scott-Craig's supplies in by helicopter. When word got out to the neighboring villages about the impending flight, "villagers came from miles around and there must have been five or ten thousand Nepalese assembled to see the strange flying machine." Professor Scott-Craig was the author of several books, including "Christian Attitudes to War and Peace" and "A Guide to Pronouncing Biblical Names." Francis Dale, 72 Was publisher, ambassador ASSOCIATED PRESS CINCINNATI Francis L. Dale, a former publisher of Cincinnati and Los Angeles newspapers, US ambassador and professional sports executive, has died.

He was 72. Mr. Dale, publisher of The Cincinnati Enquirer from 1965 to 1973, died of a heart attack Sunday while visiting in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, his family said yesterday. Dale most recently lived in Pasadena, Calif. He was president of the Cincinnati Reds from 1967 to 1973, helped push through the construction of the baseball team's Riverfront Stadium, and was instrumental in forming the group that bought the football franchise for the Cincinnati Bengals.

President Nixon appointed Mr. Dale in 1972 as US representative to the United Nations in Geneva, with the rank of ambassador. Mr. Dale served as chairman of Nixon's reelection committee. He described that role as honorary, saying he left the running of the campaign to John Mitchell and others subsequently implicated in the Watergate scandal.

Mr. Dale resumed his newspaper career with the Los Angeles Herald Examiner, serving as publisher from 1977 to 1985. He served as commissioner of the Major Indoor Soccer League from 1985 to 1986, then left to become president of the Music Center of Los Angeles. He later served as president of the Mike Mansfield Foundation at the University of Montana. CORNELIUS F.
