Other Notable Deaths

HAYWARD 'CHUCK' CARBO, 82

Baritone for Spiders quintet

Hayward "Chuck" Carbo, whose ultra-smooth baritone fronted the 1950s quintet the Spiders that made the world aware of New Orleans rhythm & blues, has died.

Charbonnet-Labat Funeral Home said he died last Friday after a long illness.

Singer Aaron Neville, a longtime friend, said Mr. Carbo and his brother Leonard "Chick" Carbo were part of the premier New Orleans group in their day.

A young Mac "Dr. John" Rebennack produced several 1960s singles by Mr. Carbo and considered him an immense, if underappreciated, talent.

Both sides of their 1954 debut for Imperial Records, "I Didn't Want to Do It" and "You're the One," cracked the Top 10 of the national rhythm and blues charts.

ARCHIE R. MCCARDELL, 81

International Harvester CEO

Archie R. McCardell, who led International Harvester during a pivotal 172-day labor strike in 1979, has died.

Mr. McCardell died last Friday at a Casper, Wyo., hospital from a heart-related problem, said his daughter, Laurie McCardell.

Mr. McCardell joined International Harvester, the Chicago-based manufacturer of agriculture equipment and machinery, as president in 1977 and became chief executive officer a few months later.

International Harvester posted record earnings of nearly $400 million in 1979, but began struggling when 35,000 employees represented by the United Auto Workers walked out Nov. 1 of that year. A settlement wasn't reached until April 1980.

International Harvester lost millions of dollars during the strike. Combined with the effects of a recession, the company started selling off units. The firm took the name Navistar in 1986.

Mr. McCardell resigned from International Harvester in May 1982.

Mr. McCardell worked for Ford Motor Co. and Xerox, where he was president and chief operating officer, before joining International Harvester.

GEORGE B. HARTZOG, 88

National Park Service director

George B. Hartzog Jr., whose political skills as director of the National Park Service in the 1960s and early 1970s led to the addition of nearly 50 million acres to the park system, more than doubling its size, died on June 27 in Arlington, Va. He lived in McLean, Va.

The cause was kidney disease, his wife, Helen, said.
