Married. Corporal Lawrence Tibbett Jr., 22, twin son of the operatic baritone; and Edith Ernestine Witte, 21, daughter of the late Schumann-Heink's late manager, Roland Witte; in Pasadena, where Tibbett Jr. is in the Army Signal Corps.

Killed in Service. Prince Chirasakti, 25, adopted son of the late Prajadhipok, ex-King of Siam; on duty with the R.A.F. air transport auxiliary. A cousin of the present King Ananda Mahidol of Thailand, he was married in London to Mani Rajah Noeprabandou, daughter of a onetime Siamese Minister at London. Much publicized in 1939 was the elaborate exorcism of devils from his five-week-old son, in rural England. A champagne party followed long wordless rites that included an anointing, attaching of cords to the baby's body, and removal of a lock of hair, which was wrapped in a lotus leaf and set adrift on the River Bourne.

Died. Dr. James M. Doran, 57, onetime U.S. Commissioner of Prohibition (1927-30); in Washington. Thin, bespectacled, with puckish ears, he faintly resembled the cartoon personifications of Prohibition. His wife, Roxana, a W.C.T.U. member, attracted attention in 1930 with a recipe book of "Prohibition Punches," whose contributors numbered the wives of many high Washingtonians. One of Mrs. Doran's offerings was a mint julep without liquor. With the end of Prohibition, Doran became head of the Distilled Spirits Institute, resigned in 1938.

Died. Myrta Edith Bell Lewis, 62, small, quiet, self-effacing wife of John L. Lewis; in Alexandria, Va. Daughter of a country doctor, she was a schoolteacher when she married the 27-year-old coal miner whose education had ended when he was twelve. As his wife she laid out a program of study for him, encouraged him to read, led him to the classics--subsequently could not keep him from quoting them. Well-informed in politics and labor, she never expressed her opinions in public, took small part in social affairs except as companion to her husband.

Died. Thomas Franklin Fairfax Millard, 74, veteran war correspondent, first U.S. political adviser to the Chinese Republic; in Seattle. He covered the Boer, Greco-Turkish, Spanish-American and Russo-Japanese wars, World War I, the Boxer Rebellion, and part of the Sino-Japanese war, helped found The China Press, first U.S. paper in Shanghai, and Millard's Weekly Review in Shanghai. More honest than discreet, he was a frequent critic of U.S. policy in China, a more strenuous critic of Japanese policy. He was adviser to the Chinese at the Paris Peace Conference, the League of Nations sessions from 1920 to 1922, the Far East conference in Washington in 1921. High on Japan's official blacklist, he came home a year ago.
