Married. Conrad Nicholson Hilton Jr., 32, a vice president of the Hilton Hotels Corp., son of Hotelman Conrad Hilton; and Patricia Blake McClintock, 18, daughter of Tulsa Millionaire (oil, banking) Frank Grant McClintock and Manhattan Socialite Mrs. William Horace Schmidlapp; she for the first time, he for the second (No. 1: Hollywood's Elizabeth Taylor); in Manhattan's Plaza Hotel.

Divorced. By Lily Pons, 54, petite (5 ft. 1/2 in.), French-born coloratura soprano best known a half-generation ago: Andre Kostelanetz, 56, Leningrad-born orchestra conductor and arranger of tried and true sounds; after 20 years of marriage, no children; in Juarez, Mexico.

Died. Georgy Nikolaevich Zarubin, 58, Russian Ambassador to the U.S. from 1952 until last January; of a heart attack; in Moscow. Where he appeared, Western secrets tended to vanish. In 1945, during Zarubin's tenure as first Soviet Ambassador to Canada, Russian Embassy Clerk Igor Gouzenko defected and revealed the existence of a Red spy ring that had vacuumed Canada for strategic information, had shipped samples of pure Uranium 235 off to Moscow. Officially, Zarubin was cleared of complicity in the case. While he served in Washington, the U.S. Government occasionally expelled segments of his staff for espionage, but no one ever hung anything on Georgy.

Died. Major General H. Norman Schwarzkopf, 63, organizer and first superintendent (1921-36) of the New Jersey state police, whose name became known around the world after the 1932 kidnaping of 20-month-old Charles A. Lindbergh Jr.; of a perforated ulcer; in West Orange, N.J. New Jersey's Governor Harold G. Hoffman thought more people were responsible for the death of the Lindbergh baby than Bruno Hauptmann, who was executed for the crime. Calling Schwarzkopf's investigation "the most bungled police job in history," the Governor refused to reappoint him. West Pointer Schwarzkopf went on to more fame as narrator of radio's Gang Busters series, re-entered the Army and was sent to Iran during World War II to reorganize the imperial police force and to keep supply lines open to Russia.

Died. Artur Rodzinski, 64, master builder of symphony orchestras; of a heart ailment; in Boston. Born on Yugoslavia's Dalmatian coast, Rodzinski was the son of a Polish surgeon in the Austrian army. Holder of a doctorate in law from the University of Vienna, he preferred music, came to the U.S. in 1925 on the invitation of Leopold Stokowski. His talent for developing orchestras, which even exceeded his art as a conductor, brought prestigious results in Los Angeles, Cleveland and New York, where Rodzinski took over the listless Philharmonic in 1943. Considering himself hamstrung by management, he stormily quit the nation's top orchestral job four years later, went to Chicago, where, after a year of feuds with management, he was fired. Freelance since then, Rodzinski triumphed last year with a brilliant Tristan und Isolde at Florence's Maggio Musicale. This autumn he returned for the first time to Chicago, made silk-purse magic with the Lyric Opera's orchestra (TIME, Nov. 24).

Died. Georgi Damyanov, 66, Kremlin-stooge President of Bulgaria since 1950; in Sofia.

Died. Agnes Harvey Stone, 85, widow of U.S. Chief Justice (1941-46) Harlan Fiske Stone; in Washington.

Died. Edgar Algernon Robert Gascoyne-Cecil, Viscount Cecil of Chelwood, 94, winner of the 1937 Nobel Peace Prize for "his disinterested but enthusiastic work for the League of Nations, his work for peace among nations and in helping President Wilson in organizing the League of Nations," longtime delegate to the League of Nations, Lord Privy Seal under Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, son of the Third Marquess of Salisbury, who was thrice Queen Victoria's Prime Minister; of injuries received in a fall; at Tunbridge Wells, England. Lord Cecil did as much to create the League as any man but Woodrow Wilson. He regarded the American President as courageous but "rather dogmatic and not having a very clear idea of what was really needed."
