B4 MONDAY, JULY 14, 2008 THE STATE, COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA WWW.THESTATE.COM OBITUARIES BRUCE CONNER Created one of first music videos SAN FRANCISCO Bruce Conner, an iconoclastic artist and avant-garde filmmaker of the Beat era, has died. He was 74. Conner died Monday of natural causes at home, said his wife, artist Jean Conner. One of the last surviving artists who was associated with San Francisco's Beat scene of the 1950s, Conner remained active and influential in the contemporary art world throughout his life. In 1958, he made the 12-minute experimental film, "A Movie," in which he set snippets of B-movies and other found newsreel and film clips to music.
The film has been cited as a precursor of music videos, and in 1991, the National Film Registry selected it for preservation in the Library of Congress. Throughout his career, Conner also collaborated with many visual artists and musicians, including David Byrne and Brian Eno on the 1982 short film "America is Waiting" and the band Devo for a film he made in the 1970s. He gained international attention for assemblages he built from old stockings, photographs, broken dolls and other discarded items, which were viewed as a social criticism of American consumer society. RUTH GREENGLASS Key witness in Rosenberg spy trial NEW YORK Ruth Greenglass, whose testimony in the sensational Rosenberg spy trial helped send her sister-in-law Ethel Rosenberg to the electric chair, has died. She was 84.
Greenglass had been living under an alias to avoid association with the Cold War case that led to the execution of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg in 1953. Her death was revealed in court documents filed in late June. She died in New York on April 7, according to Social Security records. Greenglass and her husband, David, were pivotal figures in the spy case. They confessed to being part of an effort to smuggle secrets to the Soviets, and turned in the Rosenbergs, their relatives, as the spies who recruited them to the task.
Historians continue to debate the truthfulness of their testimony concerning Ethel Rosenberg, whose guilt has long been questioned. During the 1951 trial, the couple said they saw Ethel Rosenberg transcribing stolen atomic secrets on a portable typewriter in her New York apartment. Their account was the best piece of evidence linking Ethel Rosenberg, David's sister, to an alleged plot to steal research data from the Manhattan Project. By cooperating, David Greenglass, a wartime machinist in Los Alamos, N.M., who had been charged along with the Rosenbergs, was spared a possible death sentence. He served 10 years in prison.
Ruth Greenglass was never charged. Since then, decoded Soviet cables have seemed to confirm that Julius Rosenberg was a spy, but doubts have remained about his wife's involvement. David Greenglass has said in recent years that he made up the account about the typewriter to protect his wife, who, he claimed, may have also improvised the tale to appease prosecutors. Born Ruth Leah Printz in 1924, Greenglass grew up on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, where she married as a teenager and became involved in Socialist causes. David Greenglass said Julius Rosenberg recruited him to work as a spy after he was assigned to Los Alamos, where the atomic bomb was being developed.
The two were partners in a machine shop after the war ended. After her husband's arrest in 1950, Ruth Greenglass was implicated as a co-conspirator but never charged. Following his release from prison, the couple lived in the New York area with their children under assumed names. Her husband is still alive. Historians are seeking access to sealed grand jury transcripts from the Rosenberg case.
The U.S. attorney's office in Manhattan said in a June 23 court filing that it would not oppose the release of transcripts from witnesses who have died or agreed to make their statements public. Ruth Greenglass was listed in the document as being among the dead. From Wire Reports NOTICES Ernest Franklin Austin, 81, of Kershaw, died Sunday. Friends may call from p.m.
