Friday, May. 07, 1965

Married. Gregg Sherwood Dodge, 41, widow of Auto Heir Horace Dodge Jr.; and Daniel D. Moran, 29, former New York City cop, now a Palm Beach realtor; she for the third time, he for the first; in Manhattan. Although estranged from Dodge at his death in 1963, Gregg claimed that she collected something like $9,000,000 in out-of-court settlements of suits against his estate and his mother (for trying to break up their marriage).

Died. Joshua Macmillan, 20, grandson of Britain's retired Prime Minister Harold Macmillan and a second-year student at Oxford's brainy Balliol College; from an apparent overdose of drugs; two days after returning from a Madrid vacation with his fiancee, Kara Yatsevitch, 18, daughter of an American diplomat stationed in Spain; in his room at Oxford.

Died. Ferruccio Burco, 26, onetime Italian infant maestro who by eight had performed the world over, conquering more by his velvet knee pants and cherub face than by musicianship (he memorized gestures), then swiftly faded despite years of study, retreating to the countryside as leader of a roving provincial band; of injuries suffered in an auto accident; near Ostuni, Italy.

Died. Lindley Armstrong ("Spike") Jones, 53, antic bandleader of the pistol-popping, whistle-shrieking, Bronx-cheering City Slickers during the 1940s and '50s, a square-jawed musical clown with airplane eyebrows and wildly checked suits, who was an unknown drummer when he formed the Slickers in 1942 and led them to success with rowdy parodies of sentimental hits (Black Magic, Cocktails for Two) until rock 'n' roll drowned him out in 1962; of emphysema; in Los Angeles.

Died. Edward R. Murrow, 57, radio and TV's best known newsman; of lung cancer; at his farm in Pawling, N.Y. (see PRESS).

Died. Charles Leo DeOrsey, 61, financial adviser (without fee) to the original seven U.S. astronauts, who handled the $500,000 sale of their stories to LIFE, and plunged them into controversy in 1962 by accepting seven free $24,000 homes for them in Houston, which they later refused; of a heart attack; in Miami Beach.

Died. Sidney Carr Mize, 77, federal judge for the Southern District of Mississippi since 1937, a deep-dyed segregationist who signed the 1962 order admitting Negro Student James Meredith to Ole Miss only after the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals demanded it; after collapsing on the bench a month ago; in Gulf port, Miss.
