Dean Acheson, whose career as Secretary of State (1949-53) was one of the stormiest in American diplomatic history, died at his Sandy Springs, Md., home 10/12. He was 78. Upon leaving State Department in 1953 after four years of controversy, Acheson returned to private law practice, but served frequently as an unpaid adviser to subsequent presidents. He's survived by his widow, a son, David C. Acheson, and two daughters, Mrs. Dudley B. W. Brown of Lantana, Fla., and Mrs., William F. Bundy of Cambridge, Mass. Acheson's shown here in a 1970 photo.
