Born. To Colonel Pavel Popovich, 38, Soviet cosmonaut, who became part of the world's first space duet in 1962 when his Vostok IV rocketed into orbit along with the capsule carrying Major Andrian Nikolayev; and Maria Popovich, 37, a civilian pilot: their second daughter; in Moscow.

Married. Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, 43, famed German lieder singer; and Christina Pugell, 24, daughter of a Manhattan voice teacher whom he met during a 1967 U.S. tour; he for the third time (his first wife died in 1963; his second marriage ended in divorce last year); in West Berlin.

Married. George S. Moore, 63, chairman of First National City Bank of New York, third largest in the nation (assets: $17.5 billion); and Charon M. Crosson, 31, an attractive blonde whom he met in Puerto Rico five years ago; he for the second time (he was divorced by his wife of 30 years two weeks ago), she for the first; in Westport, Conn.

Died. Major General Horst Wendland, 56, No. 2 man in West Germany's Federal Intelligence Service; by his own hand (he shot himself three months after learning he had an incurable disease); in Pullach, West Germany. Quiet and unassuming, "the house father," as his staff called him, was an able administrator who supervised the service's more than 5,000 employees and directed its intelligence training.

Died. Frank Skinner, 69, Hollywood composer, who wrote orchestrations for more than 30 films, including The Great Ziegfeld (1936), The Magnificent Obsession (1954), and Away All Boats (1956), of cancer; in Hollywood.

Died. George White, 78, theatrical producer, whose flashy, fleshy Scandals vied with Ziegfeld's Follies and Earl Carroll's Vanities as the top Broadway attraction of the 1920s and '30s; of leukemia; in Hollywood. White introduced such future stars as Kate Smith, Ray Bolger, Rudy Vallee and Eleanor Powell to the Great White Way--which he always claimed was named for him.

Died. Jean Paulhan, 83, author, editor and academician; of cancer; in Paris. As longtime editor (1925-40, 1953-68) of the prestigious monthly La Nouvelle Revue Francaise, Paulhan helped guide the careers of such luminaries as Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus. He be rated the mediocre, praised the promising, and generally acted like a mandarin of French letters. He was elected to the sedate Academic Franc,aise in 1963, even though it was rumored that he had written L'Histoire d'O, a novel about the joys of masochism.
