Born. To James Roosevelt, 63, eldest son of F.D.R., a former U.S. Congressman and currently a business consultant in Switzerland, and his fourth wife, onetime British Schoolteacher Mary Winskill Roosevelt, 32: their first child (his seventh), a daughter; in Geneva. Name: Rebecca Mary.

Married. Burl Ives, 61, folk balladeer and Oscar-winning actor (in 1958); and Dorothy Koster, 44, longtime friend and the architect of Ives' New Mexico home; both for the second time; in London.

Died. Wynton Kelly, 39, jazz pianist; in Toronto. From the 1950s through the mid-'60s, Kelly was a catalytic figure in a number of groups featuring such improvisational superstars as Dizzy Gillespie,Miles Davis and the late Wes Montgomery. Kelly was credited with providing a vital blues-tinged version of the modern jazz idiom.

Died. Dan Reeves, 58, innovative principal owner of the Los Angeles Rams; of cancer; in Manhattan. Love of football induced Reeves to use his inherited money to buy the Cleveland club in 1941. It became the first football team to develop an extensive scout network for recruiting college players. Reeves then brought the Rams--and big-league sports--to Los Angeles in 1946. Baseball, basketball and other football teams followed him to the Coast. Though he frequently replaced his head coaches, Reeves reversed his 1968 decision to fire George Allen after angry fans demonstrated their support of Allen by burning the owner in effigy. But Reeves later succeeded in quietly replacing Allen.

Died. Igor Tamm, 75, physicist and a leading libertarian within Soviet science; in Moscow. A critic of Kremlin attempts to police the scientific community, Tamm never joined the Communist Party. In 1958 he shared the Nobel Prize with two Soviet colleagues for discovering and explaining the "Cherenkov effect," the bluish glow that occurs when high-energy electrons pass through a transparent substance. Tamm's prominence among Russian theoretical physicists was based largely on his work blending quantum mechanics and Einstein's theory of relativity.

Died. Marcel Gromaire, 78, French painter and tapestry designer; in Paris. Together with Jean Lirc,at, Gromaire became widely known for reviving France's long-dormant tradition of tapestry making at Aubusson during the World War II German occupation; before that, he achieved international recognition with the showing of his striking expressionist painting, La Guerre. In 1951 he won critical acclaim for his series of New York "landscapes" depicting the city as "Dantesque."
