Born. To Iran's Princess Fatmeh Pahlevi, 23, who in 1950 remarried her husband in a Moslem ceremony in order to win back her royal prerogatives from her miffed brother, the Shah, and California Importer-Exporter Ali Vincent Lee Hillyer, 26, who, to help his wife, renounced Roman Catholicism and took no God but Allah: their first child, a son; in Santa Monica. Name: Cayvon Pahlavi. Weight: 7 Ibs. 110z.

Born. To the Brooklyn Dodgers' Second Baseman Jackie Robinson, 33, and Rae Robinson, 28: their third child, second son; in Manhattan. Name: David. Weight: 7 Ibs. 4 oz.

Died. Franklin Lee Stevenson, 63, who, when down on his luck in 1924, hit upon an inspiration and a career as the "undertakers' poet laureate," at a starting fee of $1 a stanza; of a heart ailment; in Chicago. His idea blossomed into a service called the Poet's Study, which circulated Stevenson's booklets to more than 200 mortuaries, which in turn passed canned condolences to mourners. His own self-authored epitaph closes: "Ah, there's not a thing to fear!"

Died. William Roughead, 82, Scottish lawyer who seldom practiced because he was too absorbed in masterfully chronicling classic trials and crimes (mostly murders); of a cerebral hemorrhage and pneumonia; in London. A chapter in his Bad Companions, recounting a celebrated 1810 slander suit that followed a vindictive schoolgirl's false accusation against her two spinster teachers, was the inspiration for Playwright Lillian Hellman's 1934 Broadway hit, The Children's Hour. Fact-Writer Roughead was called by Novelist Dorothy Sayers "the best showman that ever stood before the door of a chamber of horrors."

Died. Albert Basserman, 84, whose possession of the celebrated Iffland Ring* marked him as the foremost actor of German-speaking Europe; of a heart attack, soon after his plane from the U.S. landed in Zurich, Switzerland. In 1939, after the Nazis failed to persuade him to divorce his non-Aryan wife, Actress Else Schiff, Basserman at 72 fled with her to Switzerland and the U.S., started life all over again in Hollywood, acted with memorable brilliance in such movies as Dr. Ehrlich's Magic Bullet, The Moon and Sixpence, Rhapsody in Blue.

*Named for Vienna Actor August Wilhelm Iffland (1759-1814), who, smitten with a younger actor's performance, presented him with the ring, instructed him to name his own successor in the next generation. Although Iffland wanted his token of stage greatness passed on forever, Basserman, who got the ring in 1908, sadly decided that it was cursed after three actors, to whom he successively planned to give it, all died, shortly thereafter. In 1946 he gave the heirloom to Vienna's Municipal Museum.
