Friday, Jan. 20, 1967

Married. Princess Margriet, 23, third daughter of Queen Juliana and Prince Bernhard of The Netherlands; and Pieter van Vollenhoven, 27, lawyer son of a Dutch sail manufacturer, whom she met at college; in The Hague.

Married. Charles Aznavour, 42, France's pint-sized disenchanter of love (C,est fini, You've Let Yourself Go); and UllaThorssell, 25, miniskirted Swedish model; he for the third time; at Las Vegas' Flamingo Hotel.

Died. John E. Fogarty, 53, Democratic Congressman from Rhode Island, one of two from the tiny state, known among his colleagues as "Mr. Public Health" during 17 years as chairman of the House Appropriations subcommittee dealing with the Departments of Labor, Health, Education and Welfare, who believed that "no American life should be lost because of a lack of research funds," saw to it over the years that literally billions of dollars in federal money were set aside for research into cancer, heart and other diseases; of a heart attack; in his Washington office, shortly before he was to be sworn in for his 14th term.

Died. Mary and Margaret Gibb, 54, oldest U.S. Siamese twins, joined through life above the buttocks; of cancer, within two minutes of one another; in Holyoke, Mass, (see MEDICINE).

Died. Jacques Heim, 67, Parisian high-fashion designer whose House of Heim was considerably less radical than the houses of Dior, Chanel, and Lanvin, trending to very elegant, quietly simple styles (among its clients: Mme. de Gaulle, Queen Fabiola, Mamie Eisenhower), yet could hardly be called stodgy, seeing as how it was the birthplace in 1946 of a teeny-weeny swimsuit called the A tome, which Heim designed for Riviera beaches and which other designers picked up and renamed the bikini; of a cerebral embolism; in Neuilly, France.

Died. Franc,ois C. Erasmus, 70, South African politician, one of his country's fiercest supporters of anti-British, white-supremacist doctrines, who in 1952, as Minister of Defense, purged most of the military's World War II leaders because they had fought in "Britain's war," and in 1960, as Minister of Justice, was largely responsible for the ill-famed Sharpeville massacre of 72 Africans protesting the apartheid passbook laws; of a heart attack; in Bredasdorp, South Africa.

Died. Charles Burchfield, 73, homespun, Ohio-born artist, who shunned publicity, never traveled abroad, cared little for critics, convention or popular trends in art, nonetheless won fame and financial success in the 1920s for his watercolors of grey and sordid industrial scenes, after which he changed his style completely, indulged his sense of fantasy by musing about heaven ("Like Corot, I hope there will be painting there") and doing fairy-tale landscapes haunted by macabre creatures; of heart disease; in Gardenville, N.Y.

Died. Robert J. H. Kiphuth, 76, Yale's peerless swimming coach from 1918 to 1959, who was only a fair-to-middling paddler himself but had such an eye for form, such a fetish for physical fitness and such a commitment to his sport (he would sit at the bottom of the pool in a diving suit to spot flaws invisible from above) that he won 528 dual meets (v. only twelve losses) and four national championships for Yale plus four Olympic victories for the U.S.; following an intestinal hemorrhage; in New Haven, Conn.

Died. The Rev. Dr. Ivan Lee Holt, 81, president of the National Council of Churches from 1935 to 1936 and vice president of the World Council of Churches from 1948 to 1952, who spent his life in an attempt to join the nine U.S. Protestant denominations into a single church with 23 million members, warning that Protestantism faced "reorganization or disintegration" in the modern world, and in the process strongly influenced the Constitution on Church Union, which is dedicated to Protestant Unity; of pneumonia; in Atlanta.

Died. Grenville Clark, 84, Wall Street lawyer, Harvard benefactor (a member of the "Corporation" for 19 years), World Federalist and friend to two Presidents named Roosevelt, who did not let that stop him from organizing a national lawyers' committee to fight F.D.R.'s Supreme Court "packing" plan in 1937, later drafted the 1940 Selective Service Act, established the American Bar Association's civil rights committee, and wrote a voluminous treatise (World Peace Through World Law) calling for extensive revision of the United Nations charter, total disarmament and formation of a world development organization to promote peace; of cancer; in Dublin, N.H.

Died. General Holland M. ("Howlin' Mad") Smith, 84, U.S. Marine, who became known as "the father of modern amphibious warfare" when he commanded the Fleet Marine Force in the Pacific during World War II; of a heart attack; in San Diego, Calif. A stocky, sulphurous, onetime Alabama lawyer, Smith personally led the bloody Marine assaults on Tarawa, Saipan and Iwo Jima, and dismissed criticism of heavy casualty rates (3,200 casualties at Tarawa alone) with "Gentlemen, it was our will to die."
