Married. Greer Garson, 40, redhaired, green-eyed cinemactress (Mrs. Miniver, Madame Curie),; and Colonel E. E.("Buddy") Fogelson, 48, Texas rancher-millionaire; she for the third time, he for the second; in Santa Fe, N. Mex.

Married. David 0. Selznick, 47, cinemagnate (Gone With the Wind, Duel in the Sun); and Jennifer Jones, 30, cinemactress (The Song of Bernadette) ; each for the second time; in Genoa. The marriage, solemnized in the midst of preparations for Jennifer's new European-made film, Gone to Earth, was scripted by Selznick himself.

Died. Walt Kuhn, 68, "the Rembrandt of Show Business," painter of vaudeville and circus subjects (The Blue Clown); after long illness; in White Plains, N. Y. A champion of modern art ("Good painters are never intellectuals; they're simply people with one-track minds"), Kuhn helped run the famed 1913 Armory Show, which introduced the U.S. to Picasso, Van Gogh, Gauguin and Matisse.

Died. Alexander Fell Whitney, 76, militant $17,500-a-year president (since 1928) of the 216,000-strong Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen; of a heart attack; in Bay Village, Ohio. Whitney once vowed to unseat President Truman after the unsuccessful 1946 rail strike ("You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear and you can't make a President out of a ribbon salesman"). He later backtracked and gave Truman all-out support. Said the President in his message of condolence: "[He] became . . . the exemplar of the philosopher's teaching that a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds."

Died. Dr. Douglas Hyde, 88, first President (1938-45) of Ireland (Eire), Gaelic scholar, poet and playwright who was nicknamed "An Craoibhin Aoibhinn" (The Delightful Little Branch)*; after long illness; in Dublin.

*From a line in one of his poems, which was inspired by the ancient legend: "As the vibration of one branch may be felt through the forest, so the influence of one man may rouse a nation from apathy."
