Monday, Aug. 29, 1960

Married. Jimmy Boyd, 20, the freckled Tin Pan Alley flash of 1952, who sold more than 2,200,000 raspy records of 1 Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus, has been an occasional TV and film actor since; and Yvonne Craig, 22, a rising cinemactress who recently completed High Time with Bing Crosby; in Dallas.

Married. John Roosevelt Boettiger, 21, June graduate of Amherst College and son of F.D.R.'s only daughter, Anna Roosevelt Boettiger Halsted; and Deborah Ann Bentley, 22, a June graduate of Mount Holyoke College, who will teach school while her husband studies at Columbia University; in De Witt, N.Y.

Divorced. By Sally Rand, 58, and still waving her fans after 28 years: Fred J. Lalla, 41, a Las Vegas real estate dealer and her third husband; after six years of marriage, in Las Vegas.

Died. Major General (ret.) Charles Wolcott ("Doc") Ryder, 68, much-decorated Army hero of both world wars, who in 1942 commanded the Allied invasion force that hit eastern Algeria and proceeded to mop up the entire country within 76 hours (while he and Envoy Robert Murphy negotiated the end of French resistance with Vichy's Admiral Jean Darlan in Algiers); of a heart attack; in Vineyard Haven, Mass.

Died. Daniel G. Arnstein, 70, longtime president of the giant Manhattan transportation firm, Terminal System Inc., who in 1941 won acclaim as the $1-a-year man who unsnarled China's lifeline, the Burma Road; following a stroke; in Manhattan. Finding the Burma Road a twisting 726 miles of confusion, corruption and peril, Arnstein banged heads together, introduced a truck maintenance system ("The Chinese had never heard of grease") and centralized control, within a few months quadrupled the flow of lend-lease traffic.

Died. Arthur W. Hermann, 72, a foreman from 1918 to 1922 of the U.S. Radium Corp., against which he filed a $1,000,000 damage suit three months ago, charging that he had suffered radium poisoning while at work; of cancer; in East Orange, N.J. Forty-three women employees of the company during the same era subse quently died of radium poisoning, probably from swallowing the radioactive substance while moistening the brushes they used in painting numerals on watch dials.

Died. Charles Homer Buford, 74, a railroadman for 43 years and president of the Milwaukee Road from 1947 to 1950, who for nine days in 1946 became czar of all 337 U.S. rail carriers on order of President Truman, who attempted to prevent a strike by seizing the lines; of a heart attack; in Chicago.

Died. John Francis Neylan, 74, colorful San Francisco attorney, a onetime chief counsel of the Hearst empire and a regent of the University of California from 1928 to 1955, who in 1949 began a clamorous, ultimately unsuccessful battle to impose an anti-Communist loyalty oath on the university faculty; of a pulmonary condition; in San Francisco.

Died. Usher L. Burdick, 81, massive (a 6-ft. 1-in., 260-lb. onetime University of Minnesota football lineman), maverick Republican Congressman from North Dakota for 20 years; after a long illness; in Washington. In 1958 Burdick, then retiring from the House, stumped North Dakota for the first Democratic Congressman in the state's history: his son, Quentin (who last June won a U.S. Senate seat). A salty rebel whose causes included isolationism and the farmer ("When Benson went to Europe [in 1957], we made a mistake by buying him a return ticket"), the elder Burdick was also a lawyer, cattleman, rare-book collector, and an authority on Western lore.

Died. Frederick Clifford Clarke, 87, oldest living member of baseball's Hall of Fame, a fiery, hard-hitting (career average: .315, including .406 in 1897), National League outfielder and manager from 1897 to 1915, who piloted Pittsburgh to four pennants and a 1909 world championship; of pneumonia; in Winfield, Kans.

Died. Amelia Day Campbell Parker, 89, widow since 1926 of Alton Brooks Parker, onetime chief justice of the New York State Court of Appeals and the losing 1904 Democratic presidential candidate against Theodore Roosevelt; following a stroke; in Manhattan.
