<p> DIED. Wilbur Mills, 82, powerful former chairman of the House
Ways and Means Committee; in Searcy, Ark. After gaining a seat
on the prestigious committee in 1943, the young Arkansas
Democrat became its pre-eminent authority on taxation and
longtime chairman. His career declined abruptly after a 1974
drunken-driving incident that landed Fanne Fox, a stripper, in
Washington's Tidal Basin. In his later years he was an active
advocate of alcoholism treatment.
