Born. To Rita Gam Guinzburg, 29, dark-eyed beauty of TV and screen (The Thief, Saadia), and Thomas Henry Guinzburg, 30, an editor of the Viking Press: a daughter, their first child; in Manhattan. Weight: 6 lbs. 8 oz.

Married. William S. Girard, 21, gawky U.S. Army Specialist Third Class, who set off an international legal battle over G.I. rights overseas by killing a Japanese woman in an Army firing area last January, and Haru ("Candy") Sueyama, 27, pert Japanese divorcee; in the Camp Whittington chapel, 60 miles from Tokyo.

Died. Viscount Cherwell (The Rt. Hon. Frederick Alexander Lindemann), 71, Oxford Professor (1919-56) of Experimental Philosophy (physics), aeronautics and atomic-energy expert, Sir Winston Churchill's longtime confidant, troubleshooter, and wartime scientific adviser; in Oxford. A teetotaling, vegetarian bachelor ("The yolk of an egg is altogether too exciting"), "The Prof" devised a paper solution to the problem of tailspin during World War I, learned to fly in three weeks, triumphantly tested his theory in person. Summoned by Churchill early in World War II ("He could decipher signals from the experts on the far horizon, and explain to me in lucid, homely terms what the issues were"), he had a hand in the balloon barrage, setting up the radar screen, and counter-measures for magnetic mines. In Churchill's second premiership he served (1951-53) as adviser on all atomic programs.

Died. Hugh Roy Cullen, 76, Texas millionaire and philanthropist, founder-head of the Quintana Petroleum Corp., largest independent oil company in the Southwest, who gave away something like 90% of his estimated $200 million fortune; of cerebral thrombosis; in Houston. Texas-born of poor parents, Cullen left the third grade to work in a candy factory, dabbled in cotton and real estate, then (1930) as a wildcatter, struck deep into the 500-million-barrel Rabb's Ridge oil field, 50 miles from Houston. His method: to take wells others had given up, and drill deeper. After his son and heir was killed in an oil-field accident, Roy Cullen could not give his money away fast enough. He established (1947) the $160 million Cullen Foundation for charitable and educational purposes, gave $25 million in all to the University of Houston, along with 7,000 acres of oil lands, made it almost singlehandedly the nation's fastest-growing. Once, witnessing Houston's football team slice up rival Baylor University, 37-7, he exuberantly wrote out a $2,250,000 check, charitably consoled Baylor with $1,000,000 a week later. Politically conservative, he hated "creeping socialism," admired extravagantly the late Joe McCarthy. Full of crotchets, he once told his children: "Use your money to make others look as well as you do--not to make you look better than others."

Died. Paul Starrett, 90, co-founder (1922) and longtime board chairman of Starrett Brothers (later Starrett Brothers & Eken), builders of the Empire State Building and such other Manhattan landmarks as the Flatiron Building, Pennsylvania Railroad Station and the Plaza, Commodore and Biltmore hotels, as well as luxury hotels in other cities throughout the U.S., and the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.; in Greenwich, Conn.
