DIOR, 52, DIES; FASHION KING 'New Look' a Sue- cumbs in Italy After Meteoric Career MONTECATIN1, Italy, Oct. 24 -(AP) Christian Dior, 52-year- old king of the postwar fashion world, died today of a heart attack while on holiday in this north Italian resort 25 miles west of Florence. The quiet, balding and slightly paunchy creator of the revolutionary "New Look" had come to Montecatim a week ago with four friends.

He dined last night at his hotel with an unidentified Frenchwoman and after dinner retired to his third floor room. At 11 p.m. lie called for a doctor. Subsequently the local priest, the Rev. jjulio was summoned.

Also at the bedside of the famed designer when he died were a local doctor, a French physician, and his dinner companion. Dior was the second of French fashion's major postwar designers to die after a brief but meteoric career. Jocques Fath succumbed three years ago, at the age of 42, to leukemia. Bursts On Scene Dior was virtually unknown 1947, when he burst to the forefront of the bitterly competitive fashion trade with the re- vo utionary longer, full skirts of iiis new look. In that one season ie became the dictator of high style, and never since had anyone come near toppling him from his nnacle.

His father, a wealthy chemical manufacturer in a i 1 1 France, planned a diplomatic career for Christian. But the family fortune went in the depression and Dior left his political science studies to start a small art gal- ery in Paris. Illness forced him out of that, and after his recovery he had sell his last valuable painting, )y Raoul Dufy, to live. A friend who was designing dresses and mts persuaded Dior to try his hand and helped him get a start. He worked for a fashion magazine for a time, peddled his designs with not too great success and in World War II was mobilized as a private.

Gets Backing After the war Dior started thinking about setting up Ins own shop. In 1 J46 he got the backing of Marcel Boussac, the wealthy textile manufacturer. From his first collection, he was a fabulous success. He let skirts down in 1947, hiked them up in 1953 and de- emphasized the bosom in 1954. For each change buyers, customers and fashion writers flocked his salon on the Avenue Mon- Designers from Hong ong to Seventh avenue adapted the lines he decreed, and Dior at his death himself headed a multi-million-dollar combine of eight companies and 16 associates 10 countries.

But Dior denied any intention of trying to create sensations in ashion. "Changes just com.2 about," he said, "and many hings contribute when everybody ready for them." He oncu wrote that the New Look was a lit because postwar 1947 was the psychologicial time for a re- to femininity. Though his success was dependent on women and he spent ti long working hours surrounded them, Dior never married and was not known to have had a romantic attachment. He traveled widely and lived in a small house a the edge of Paris, surrounded by dogs, cats and a magnificent collection of antiques and art objects. C.
