Born. To Edmund Sixtus Muskie, 47, Maine's first popularly elected Democratic U.S. Senator and previously its first Catholic Governor, and Jane Frances Gray Muskie, 34, Republican-bred former Down East dress-shop clerk: their fifth child, second son; in Washington.

Married.

Died. Ernest Miller Hemingway, 61, Nobel-prizewinning novelist; by his own hand (shotgun); in Ketchum, Idaho (see BOOKS).

Died. Louis-Ferdinand Celine, 67, Parisian-born novelist-physician, a tortured ("I cashed in on my neuroses") iconoclast and virulent anti-Semite whose deafening, nightmarish and slang-ridden novels, Journey to the End of the Night and Death on the Installment Plan, set the salons aboil before his conviction (later rescinded) as a World War II collaborator with the Nazis; of a stroke; in Meudon, France.

Died. Pola Gauguin, 77, last survivor of the impassioned postimpressionist's five legitimate children (at least one illegitimate child still lives in Tahiti), better known for a Maugham-correcting biography of his defecting pere (My Father, Paul Gauguin) than for his Scandinavian art criticism, architecture and painting; of a heart attack; in Copenhagen.

Died. James Amory Sullivan, 88, architect and painter who expatriated himself to Europe for 30 years to restore the works of the Renaissance, then chucked it all in 1950 to lead a party of seven other reluctant socialites on an abortive, civilization-fleeing cruise to the Windward Islands; of a heart attack, in Winchendon, Mass. Proclaimed Sullivan, as the schooner Blue Goose glided into the horizon: "We're fed up [with society]. We are tired of pretense and the false way of life." The idyl lasted six months.
