Born. To Sylvie Vartan, 22, France's pert ye-ye girl, and Johnny Hallyday, 23, the French Elvis Presley: their first child, a son; in Boulogne-Billancourt, a Paris suburb.

Married. Kathleen Jane Carter, 20, one of Luci Johnson's ten bridesmaids, daughter of Clifton Carter, who recently resigned as President Johnson's liaison man with the Democratic National Committee; and Michael James Livingston, 19, classmate at the University of Texas; in Austin, with Luci as one of the bridesmaids.

Divorced. Wally Cox, 41, TV's Mr. Peepers; by Milagros Fink Cox, 25, his second wife; after three years of marriage, no children; in Los Angeles.

Died. Ken Miles, 47, British auto racer, who immigrated to the U.S. in 1952 to become one of the country's top test drivers and endurance racers, most notably with the 200 m.p.h. Ford Mark Us, in which he won this year's Daytona 24 Hour Continental and Sebring twelve-hour races and barely missed winning the 24 hours of Le Mans on a dead-heat technicality; of injuries suffered when a new grand touring Ford prototype that he was testing went out of control on a curve at 100 m.p.h.; in Riverside, Calif.

Died. Jules Dubois, 56, dean of Latin America correspondents, an aggressive, often corrosive journalist who spent 19 years south of the border for the Chicago Tribune, dodging bullets, getting beaten with rifle butts, being jailed, deported and mobbed, all the while ceaselessly badgering news-shy governments to relax press censorship and winning a reputation as an implacable foe of dictatorships both right and left, which he amply documented in articles and books (Freedom Is My Beat, Fidel Castro: Rebel-Liberator or Dictator?); of a heart attack; while covering an economics conference in Bogota, Colombia (see THE WORLD).

Died. Jan Kiepura, 62, Polish tenor, whose dashing good looks and liquid voice took him to all the leading European opera houses, then to Hollywood, the Met and finally Broadway musical comedy, where he won a devoted following in the 1940s (The Merry Widow) despite his unsliceable ham acting and his sliceable Polish accent (he kept his "woice" in shape, he said, with small "inwisible" filters in his nostrils to keep "dost" out of the "lonks"); of a heart attack; in Rye, N.Y.

Died. Moses Hadas, 66, classical scholar and teacher, a slight, puckish Southerner with a flowing white beard and mustache who believed that the classics grew musty not in their content but in dated translations and interpretations, spent a lifetime renewing them in more than 30 highly esteemed books (including Hellenistic Culture: Fusion and Diffusion, Old Wine in New Bottles) and inspired lectures that filled the halls at Columbia University; of a heart attack; in Aspen, Colo.

Died. Fred W. Slater, 67, Chicago Circuit-Court judge, a 1921 University of Iowa star tackle and five-year pro for the Chicago Cardinals, who became one of the first Negroes elected a judge in Chicago, in 1960 presided over the murder trial of Danny Escobedo, ruling against a motion that the accused's confession be set aside because he had been denied counsel, a decision that led to the now historic U.S. Supreme Court reversal; of cancer; in Chicago.

Died. Dr. DeForest C. Jarvis, 85, an obscure country physician until 1958, when his book Folk Medicine: A Vermont Doctor's Guide to Good Health made the health-fad scene by introducing "honegar" (a fifty-fifty mix of honey and cider vinegar) as a sure cure for whatever ails man or beast, also brought forth the sweet smell of money (U.S. sales: 500,000 hardcover, 2,500,000 paperback) and some sour cries of quackery; of heart disease; in Barre, Vt.

Died. Raymond Duncan, 91, brother of Isadora and eccentric par excellence, who moved to Paris in 1911, founded a Left Bank "Akademia" where he preached Hellenic serenity and played at painting, poetry, printing, weaving, rhythmics, basketmaking and vegetarianism, becoming a one-man antic fringe on the Parisian vie de boheme and a familiar figure with his homemade sandals, hand-woven toga-like robes and unshorn white hair caught back with a fillet in the style of ancient Greece; in Cavalaire-sur-Mer, France.
