Muhammad AH, 25, best remembered as Cassius Clay, onetime heavyweight champion of the world, now deposed and appealing a conviction for draft-dodging; and Belinda Boyd, 17, salesgirl in a Chicago Black Muslim bakery whom he has been dating for a year; he for the second time (his first marriage, to Model Sonji Roi, 27, lasted only eleven months before she got fed up with Muslim taboos); in a Baptist ceremony with additional Muslim prayers in Clay's five-room bungalow on Chicago's South Side.

Died. Rene Magritte, 68, the most appealing and least pretentious of surrealist painters; of cancer; in Brussels. A short, stocky Belgian, Magritte called himself a "secret agent," alluding to the disparity between appearance and reality in both his life and art. He painted as he dressed, mostly in banker's black and grey, composing his scenes with photographic accuracy. But what impish fantasies: cigar boxes puffing smoke, a leaden sky raining tiny, bowler-hatted figures, the leaning tower of Pisa buttressed by a feather, Botticelli's Primavera superimposed on the back of a businessman's overcoat. "People are always looking for symbolism in my work," he once said. "There is none. Mystery is the supreme thing."

Died. Esther Forbes, 76, author who breathed fresh life into Colonial Amer ica in eleven well-received books, won the 1942 Pulitzer history prize for her Paul Revere and the World He Lived In (while waiting in North Boston to start his famous ride, he realized that he'd forgotten his spurs, sent his dog home with a note asking that they be brought to him), a year later wrote Johnny Tremain, a historical novel aimed at teen-agers but flavorful enough for adults; of rheumatic heart disease; in Worcester, Mass.

Died. Manuel Prado Ugarteche, 78, twice (1939-45, 1956-62) President of Peru, a courtly aristocrat and banker, who during both of his administrations gave early, unwavering support to the U.S., first against Hitler, later by breaking diplomatic relations with Cuba's Castro, as wartime leader took impressive strides toward industrialization, and did much to stem an inflationary tide during his second term; of a heart attack; in Paris.

Died. Jane Darwell, 86, veteran actress in more than 300 Hollywood films, a strong-featured Missourian who over the years played mother (to Henry Fonda, Humphrey Bogart), grandmother (to Shirley Temple, Fabian) and whatever other home-and-hearth character the plot demanded, most notably Ma Joad in The Grapes of Wrath, which won her a 1940 Oscar, and the Bird Woman in Mary Pop pins; of a heart attack; in Woodland Hills, Calif.
