Married. Phyllis Field Drummond, 30, daughter of the late Marshall Field III, heir to the Chicago department-store empire and publisher of the Chicago Sun-Times; and Louis de Flers, 35, general manager of a French chemical firm; she for the second time, he for the first; in Ridgeland, S.C.

Divorced. The Earl of Harewood, 44, first cousin of Queen Elizabeth II, and 18th in line of succession to the British throne; by the Countess of Harewood, 39; on uncontested charges of adultery with Patricia Tuckwell, 38, Australian-born onetime model who bore him a son in 1964; after 17 years of marriage, three children; in London.

Died. Sir William Neil Connor, 57, British columnist better known as "Cas sandra," who for 31 years in the London Daily Mirror cut and thrust with fine partiality and fierce wit at everything from Germany to Radio Moscow and Joe McCarthy, plus sports, doctors, dogs, commercial TV and many of its performers; after a long illness; in London. Cassandra once described Liberace as "this deadly, winking, sniggering, snuggling, chromium-plated, scent-impregnated, luminous, quivering, giggling, fruit-flavoured, mincing, ice-covered heap of mother-love." And thereupon Liberace sued for libel and won a $22,400 judgment.

Died. William White, 70, chairman of the Erie Lackawanna Railroad since 1963, a survivor of the days when rails, not planes, carried the U.S. public, who started out at 16 with the Erie, climbed the traditional ladder to the presidency of the New York Central in 1952, only to be forced out two years later in a raucous proxy fight, then moved on to the Delaware and Hudson and the Erie Lackawanna, which he highballed from a $17 million loss in 1963 to a $6,700,000 profit last year; of a heart attack; in Cleveland.

Died. Emil Frei Jr., 71, one of the foremost U.S. artists in stained glass, who took over his father's glass firm to promote a revival of an art that had waned since its flowering in the Middle Ages, combining richly colored abstract forms and contemporary symbolism, thus creating effects no other medium can achieve; after a long heart illness; in Kirkwood, Mo.

Died. Mischa Elman, 76, violinist, who rose from a Ukrainian ghetto to play before the Czar by the time he was 17 years old, immigrated to the U.S. in 1908, where his sensuous, pulsating "Elman tone," far richer than the restrained vibrato and small tone then in vogue, took the music world by storm (to a fan who once gushed that he played like a god, Elman replied, "A god doesn't improve; I do") and launched a marathon, 5,014-concert career that continued until his death; of a heart attack; in New York.

Died. Hermann Joseph Muller, 76, U.S. geneticist who won the Nobel Prize in 1946 for his 1927 experiments in which he bombarded fruit flies with X rays to produce weird mutations and demonstrated long before the atomic age the effects of radiation on genes, an outspoken scientist, most recently advocating the establishment of artificial insemination banks to store the frozen sperm of gifted men to improve the human race now and in the future; of heart disease; in Indianapolis.

Died. Eleanor Wilson McAdoo, 77, youngest and last surviving of Wood-row Wilson's three daughters, who in 1914 married Wilson's Secretary of the Treasury, William Gibbs McAdoo, in a White House ceremony, saw her marriage end in divorce after 20 years, and devoted the rest of her life to her father's memory in speeches, articles and several books; of a cerebral hemorrhage; in Montecito, Calif.
