Dr. Nuci Kotta, 44, An Albanian Exile PORT JEFFERSON, L.I., July 22—Dr. Nuci Kotta, an Albanian exile leader who taught French at the State University in Stony Brook, died on Tuesday in St. Charles Hospital here after suffering a heart attack earlier in the day at his home at 119 South Street. His age was 44. Dr. Kotta was the son of Kosta Kotta, Premier of Albania when Italy took over the country in 1939. He received a Doctor of Laws degree in 1946 from the University of Paris, and his book "Albania and the Question of the Albanian-Greek Frontiers," was published in French that year in Paris. He came to this country in 1949. After being a lecturer in French at Hunter College and then a lecturer and then an instructer in French at Columbia University, Dr. Kota was, from 1963 until his death, assistant professor of French at the State University. He was executive member of the National Committee for a Free Albania from 1949 to 1953 and deputy secretary general of the Assembly of Captive European Nations from 1955 to 1959. Since 1961 he had been chairman of the Albanian Movement of Legality. Surviving are his widow, Mrs. Susan Cort Kotta; a son George and a sister, Mrs. Androkill Phillips.
