Robert Alan Bicks, 75, the government's leading trustbuster in the Eisenhower administration, died Wednesday of respiratory failure in New York.

Mr. Bicks became executive secretary of a new committee to review the antitrust concept in 1953, under Attorney General Herbert Brownell.

One year later, Mr. Bicks took a position as a legal assistant to the leader of the Justice Department's antitrust division. He became the division's acting leader in 1959 at the age of 31.

In 1960, President Dwight D. Eisenhower appointed Mr. Bicks the antitrust chief. He oversaw the biggest criminal antitrust case brought under the Sherman Act against electrical equipment makers, such as GE and Westinghouse.

Jamie Moore, 96, the Birmingham, Ala., police chief who often clashed with Bull Connor in the 1960s, died Tuesday.

Mr. Moore was Birmingham's longest-serving chief, holding the job from 1956 to 1972. He is often linked with Mr. Connor, the public safety commissioner who ordered fire hoses turned on civil rights demonstrators.

Mr. Moore began as a Birmingham police patrolman in 1936 and worked his way up to chief in time to lead the department through the civil rights protests in the city, including the 1963 16th Street Baptist Church bombing that killed four black girls.
