Born. To Conductor Leopold Stokowski, 64, and Heiress Gloria Vanderbilt Stokowski, 27, his third wife: their second child (his fifth), second son; in Manhattan. Weight: 9 Ibs., 3 oz.

Married. Australia's Tennis Star Frank (Francis Arthur) Sedgman, 24, U.S. singles champion and holder (with Partner Ken McGregor) of the Wimbledon, French, U.S. and Australian doubles titles; and Margaret Jean Spence, 21, daughter of a Melbourne professional golfer; after their "wedding gift fund," scraped up by the public in appreciation of Frank's decision to stay "amateur" (TIME, Jan. 4), swelled to $12,150; in Melbourne.

Died. Sergei M. Trufanov, 71, once known as "Iliodor, the Mad Monk of Russia," demagogic foe of Rasputin, his onetime mentor and ally; of a heart ailment; in Manhattan. Trufanov lost his political struggle with Rasputin, fled unfrocked to New York, went back to Russia after the Revolution with a quixotic plan to set himself up as the "Russian Pope" and revamp the Orthodox Church to suit the Bolsheviks. Embittered and disillusioned, he came back to the U.S. for good in 1921, became a Baptist, got work as a janitor, passed his final decades in obscurity.

Died. Harold Leclair Ickes, 77, self-styled "Old Curmudgeon," longtime New Deal hatchet man and Franklin D. Roosevelt's only Secretary of the Interior (1933-46); of complications from arthritis; in Washington, D.C. (see NATIONAL AFFAIRS).

Died. Anne Morgan, 78, youngest of Financier J. Pierpont Morgan's four children, philanthropic Francophile, kid-gloved feminist; of a coronary occlusion; in Mt. Kisco, N.Y. Turning her hereditary power drive to good works, she plunged into war relief during World War I with her American Committee for Devastated France, was at it again in World War II with her American Friends of France, became the first American woman to be made a Commander of the French Legion of Honor. Between wars, as longtime (1928-43) president of the American Woman's Association, she was a suave and effective woman's-rights crusader. Like her dynastic father and her banker brother, the late J.P., Anne Morgan made no apologies for her wealth (her father left her a $3 million trust fund) or high station. Said she: "I believe in the true aristocracy . . . which realizes that it has inherited something magnificent, with the obligation to carry it on."

Died. Brigadier General (ret.) Wilber Elliott Wilder, 95, oldest surviving graduate ('77) of the U.S. Military Academy, winner of the Medal of Honor for gallantry in action against the Apaches in 1882; on Governors Island, N.Y.
