Born. To William McMahon, 64, Australia's Prime Minister for the past 19 months, and Sonia Hopkins McMahon, 40, chic youngest First Lady in Australian history: their third child, a daughter; in Sydney. Name: Deborah.

Died. Eleanor Glueck, 74, Harvard criminologist and a pioneering theorist on the causes of juvenile delinquency; in Cambridge, Mass. Working with her husband Sheldon, a law professor at Harvard, Mrs. Glueck was among the earliest collectors of statistical data on crime in the U.S. The Gluecks spent more than four decades attempting to reduce typical criminal patterns to scientific terms. Out of their work came scores of books and articles stressing the importance of family environment in preventing juvenile delinquency. Their most publicized effort was the much-criticized Glueck Social Prediction Tables, by which future lawbreakers could ostensibly be spotted -- and saved -- as early as the age of two.

Died. Valentine Charles Parnell, 78, "Britain's No. 1 Showman" and longtime impresario of the London Palladium; in London. The son of a vaudeville ventriloquist, Parnell rose from office boy in a theatrical booking agency to become director of 400 theaters and music halls. To the Palladium he brought modern microphones and high-priced U.S. stars, both new to music-hall audiences, and soon turned the old moviehouse into one of the world's eminent stages.

Died. Charles Correll, 82, tuba-throated half of radio's Amos 'n' Andy for more than three decades; of a heart attack; in Chicago. After several years on the Southern tent-show circuit, Correll and another white vaudevillian, Freeman Gosden, teamed up on radio in 1928 to create the roles of Amos (a kindly taxi driver played by Gosden) and Andy (a scheming misadventurer portrayed by Correll). With its fractured black-dialect humor, the show became radio's first major craze. At the height of the program's popularity in the '30s, hotels canceled room service and movie theaters stopped their features during air time. By and large, blacks detested Amos 'n' Andy's portrayal of Negroes as shuffling buffoons; the show died in 1960 after logging more than 10,000 performances.

Died. Edmond Ansley, 84, the 50-in. midget who was the model for the cartoon character Buster Brown in 1 9 1 0 and who for the next 27 years traveled across the U.S. with a blond wig, knickers and a Boston terrier named Tige to promote the children's footwear of the Brown Shoe Co.; of an apparent heart attack; in Gainesville, Texas.
