Birr, 79, born Sept. 29, 1915, died CORTOPASSI William Cortopassi, 78, of Minneapolis; formerly John C. White, 1970s leader of Democrats NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE WASHINGTON- John C. White, a Texas sharecropper's son who became Democratic national chairman, died Friday in Georgetown University Hospital, where he had been under treatment for a heart ailment.

He was 70. Mr. White had a successful career in state politics before he was drawn to Washington. Along the way, he won the friendship of powerful older Texas Democrats like Lyndon Johnson and Rep. Sam Rayburn, the longtime speaker of the house.

Within the fractious state party, he gained a reputation as a conciliator. "He always took a position on one side or the other but without indulging in mean-spirited things or personal Robert Strauss, another Texan who became a national figure, said Friday. "He literally had no enemies." Strauss, who had served earlier as party chairman, endorsed Mr. White for the post in 1977. Mr.

White was chosen by President Jimmy Carter late that year and was elected by the national committee in January 1978. Frederick Schlink, consumer watchdog NEW YORK TIMES NEWS NEW YORK-Frederick Schlink, the Illinoisan who became a founding father of the American consumers movement and a bestselling writer on consumerism, has died at age 103. He died last Sunday in Warren Hospital in Phillipsburg, N.J., said Peter Spencer, editor of Consumers' Research magazine. Mr. Schlink was the co-founder, with Stuart Chase, of the Consumers' Club, which sought to protect the consumer by publicizing defective and unsafe products.

The club started with 300 members in 1927. The two were co-authors that year of "Your Money's Worth," a buyers-beware book that inspired them to start the club. They incorporated the club as Consumers' Research Inc. in 1931, making it the nation's first independent organization to test consumer products and report on them by brand name. John Z.

Husar John Z. Husar, 87, a prominent amateur athlete and Southwest Side community leader, died Saturday at Christ Hospital and Medical Center Lawn. Mr. Husar won seven letters at Purdue University in the early 1930s as a football, basketball and baseball player. He went on to become a barnstorming basketball player with the Chicago Knights of Columbus league and later was an amateur baseball umpire and football referee.

Mr. Husar was a precinct captain in the 23rd Ward during the 1950s and 1960s. He also worked for the City of Chicago as an air and water pollution control inspector for 25 years. In his Southwest Side community, Mr. Husar was a founding 1 member of St.
