Married. Lady Sarah Spencer-Churchill, 45, Manhattan socialite daughter of the Duke of Marlborough, distant cousin of Winston Churchill; and Theodore Roubanis, 27, sometime actor, full-time playboy, and onetime companion of Actress Jeanne Moreau; she for the third time; in Philadelphia.

Divorced. Ralph Schoenman, 32, Brooklyn-born secretary to British Pacifist Bertrand Russell and organizer of last May's Stockholm circus "trial" that convicted the U.S. of "war crimes" in Viet Nam; by Susan Goodricke Schoenman, 25, his wife of five years; in Bournemouth, England. In granting the divorce on uncontested grounds of cruelty, the judge noted Schoenman's "sexual aberrations" and his habit of "refusing to wash or bathe except on very rare occasions."

Divorced. J. D. Salinger, 48, solitary author, whose Glass family chronicles have been produced painfully and slowly (only one story in The New Yorker in the past eight years); by Claire Salinger, 33, his second wife; after twelve years of marriage, two children; in Newport, N.H. She charged treatment "to injure health and endanger reason" based on his indifference and refusal to communicate. He did not contest.

Died. Air Force Major Michael J. Adams, 37, in the crash of his X-15 rocket plane (see THE NATION).

Died. Major General Bruno A. Hochmuth, 56, commander of the 3rd Marine Division in Viet Nam (see THE NATION).

Died. Bernard Kilgore, 59, president of Dow Jones & Co. from 1945 to 1966; of cancer; in Princeton, N.J. The Indiana-born newsman signed on at the Wall Street Journal in 1929, made his way to the top by 1941 and thereafter transformed the parochial financial paper into one of the nation's most influential newspapers, aimed, as Kilgore liked to say, "at everyone who is engaged in making a living or is interested in how other people make a living." As the Journal rose to 1,000,000 circulation (second only to the New York Daily News), Kilgore added the National Observer (1962) to the Dow Jones stable, which, with Barren's financial weekly and the profitable financial ticker service, was bringing in annual revenues of $83 million when he retired last year.

Died. Joan Lowell, 64, author and perpetrator of one of the great hoaxes in U.S. letters; of a lung hemorrhage; in Sobradinho, Brazil. In 1929, she wrote an instant bestseller, The Cradle of the Deep, a purported autobiographical account of how she and her father adventured through the Seven Seas for 17 years. The only flaws were an obvious lack of nautical knowledge and the fact that friends remembered her as a California schoolgirl. Shrugged Joan, as the Book-of-the-Month Club offered refunds: "Any damn fool can be accurate--and dull."

Died. Serafino Romualdi, 66, U.S. labor's man-in-Latin-America; of a heart attack; in Mexico City. An Italian-born veteran of the I.L.G.W.U., Romualdi spent 16 years as the A.F.L.-C.I.O.'s ambassador to Latin American workers, supplying expertise and playing a key anti-Communist role by setting up the Inter-American Regional Organization of Workers, whose affiliated members today number 28 million v. 600,000 in Communist-dominated unions.

Died. Clementine Paddleford, 67, food author and editor (How America Eats); of cancer; in New York. For a woman who cared not a fig about her own cooking (strictly steaks and baked beans), she had a genius for whetting the nation's appetite in her 21 years as columnist for the New York Herald Tribune and other newspapers, sniffing out succulent recipes and savoring souffles that "melt and vanish in a moment like smoke or a dream."

Died. Ida Cox, seventyish, last of the great female blues singers of the '20s and '30s; of cancer; in Knoxville, Tenn. Ida often wailed her nasal laments (The Moanin', Groanin' Blues, Hard Times) for Jelly Roll Morton, King Oliver, and Louis Armstrong, whom she once recalled as "just another boy blowing a horn for the King."

Died. Sir Archibald Nye, 72, British lieutenant general and diplomat; of pulmonary edema; in London. Enlisting as a private in 1914, Nye rocketed through the ranks to become Vice Chief of the Imperial General Staff in World War II, youngest ever to hold the post. Later, as High Commissioner to India from 1948 to 1952, he persuaded Nehru to remain in the Commonwealth after independence; as High Commissioner to Canada from 1952 to 1956, he strengthened trade ties between Britain and Canada.

Died. Dr. Elmer V. McCollum, 88, pioneering nutritionist who identified the first vitamin; of a kidney ailment; in Baltimore. In 1913, he separated vitamin A from butterfat and discovered its relationship to good eyesight; later he found vitamin B (which prevents beriberi) in milk sugar, in 1922 found vitamin D in cod-liver oil and determined its importance (sturdy bones and teeth)--all of which helped promote diet as a national concern and foster today's $300 million vitamin industry.
