Married. Audie Murphy, 26, most decorated soldier of World War II, now a Hollywood cowboy (Bad Boy); and Pamela Archer, 28; he for the second time; in Dallas, four days after his divorce from Starlet Wanda Hendrix became final.

Died. Sam Maceo, 57, Italian immigrant who became a shady but glamorous Texas celebrity; of cancer; in Baltimore. After working as a barber in Galveston, Maceo opened a cafe, made a fortune as a Gulf Coast rumrunner, set up in Galveston (with brother Rose Maceo) some of the nation's gaudiest nightclubs and gambling joints frequented by show folk and millionaires.

Died. Arthur Hendrick Vandenberg, 67, Republican Senator from Michigan since 1928, moving spirit of the bipartisan foreign policy; of cancer; in Grand Rapids, Mich, (see NATIONAL AFFAIRS).

Died. Olive Fremstad, eightyish, old-time Wagnerian soprano, one of the last of the hefty, histrionic divas of the Metropolitan Opera's early-century "Golden Age"; in Irvington-on-Hudson, N.Y. In Minnesota, where her father emigrated from Norway and set up as a Methodist lay preacher, she played the organ at his revival meetings, worked her way to Manhattan stardom, made a million, at her farewell appearance in 1914 (as Elsa in Lohengrin) took 40 curtain calls.

Died. Marshal Antonio Oscar de Fragoso Carmona, 81, Portugal's President since 1926; of uremia; in Lisbon. After 40 years in the army, he decided the Portuguese were incapable of governing themselves, had some evidence: 18 revolutions between 1910, when the last King gave up everything for an actress, and 192-6, when Carmona himself took over after a successful coup. He kept getting re-elected because Premier Salazar, Portugal's dictator, permitted no opposition.

Died. J. (for James) Thomas Heflin, 82, jovial Alabama demagogue, Democratic Representative (1904-20) and Senator (until 1930); after long illness; in Lafayette, Ala. A cartoonist's Congressman (windy manner, frock coat and black bow tie), Klan-backed "Tom-Tom" stood for higher cotton prices and "white supremacy," inveighed against "the liquor interests," "the wolves of Wall Street," New York's "Roman-Tammany system," and Catholicism,* which he represented as out to i) get his scalp, 2) plunge the U.S. into war with Mexico. In 1928, rather than support Catholic Al Smith for the presidency, Heflin bolted the Democratic Party, stumped for Hoover, was defeated two years later. His proudest achievement: sponsoring the bill legalizing Mother's Day.

*For years, TIME tagged him as "Senator 'Tom-Tom' Heflin, who mortally hates & fears the Pope of Rome."
