Married. Terry Baker, 23, former All-America quarterback from Oregon State, now with the Los Angeles Rams; and Marilyn Davis, 21, his college sweetheart; in Las Vegas.

Divorced. Allen Funt, 49, TV's Candid Cameraman; by Evelyn Funt, 44, his chief critic and counselor; after 18 years of marriage, three children; in Reno.

Died. Gracie Allen, 59, longtime vaudeville, radio and TV favorite, the better half of the Burns and Allen Show; of a heart attack; in Hollywood. "George," said Gracie in 1922, "I've got a great idea for an act. All we need is $200 for sets." "You're daffy," said George, and for the next 35 years she was indeed--a treasure trove of malapropisms, non sequiturs and nit-witty ideas that somehow always managed to pan out just before the commercial, making Gracie and her husband George one of the earliest, and certainly longest-lived situation comedy teams.

Died. Benjamin Davis, 60, secretary of the U.S. Communist Party, racial rabble-rouser among his fellow Negroes, and convicted seditionist (four years, 1951-55, in the federal penitentiary at Terre Haute, Ind.); after a long illness; in Manhattan.

Died. Marx Hirsch, 76, recently retired president of Molybdenum Corp. of America, who helped found the company in 1920 to refine steel-hardening molybdenum, in 1950 made a major splash when his prospectors discovered, near Mountain Pass, Calif., the world's largest deposit of exotic "rare earths," whose yet-to-be-exploited heat-resistant qualities make them the promising metals of the atomic age in nose cones, reactor shields and other critical parts; of a heart attack; in Manhattan.

Died. Anne Douglas ("Sittie") Byrd, 77, wife of Virginia's senior Senator, who cared little for politics or the Washington whirl, even to the point of skipping her husband's annual apple-orchard picnics, but refused to let her desire for his retirement stand in his way, graciously announcing before the 1958 elections that "I do not believe my hopes should obstruct the judgment of those better informed who believe he can render valuable public service"; of a heart attack; in Berryville, Va.

Died. Naomi Jacob, 80, British novelist and lifelong feminist, veteran of suffragette picket lines, author of more than 40 novels (Jacob Ussher, Four Generations), many of which depict courageous heroines struggling against hard-drinking, miserly husbands; of a heart attack; in Sirmione, Italy.
