Sued for Divorce. By Constance Keane Detlie, 23, wheat-headed cinemactress "Veronica Lake"; Army Major John Stewart Detlie, 34, peacetime cinema art director; three years after their marriage (for each the first), three months after the death of their premature second child; in Hollywood.

Died. Benjamin Anzelevitz, 52, "Ben Bernie, the O-O-Old Maestro," genial, plush-voiced veteran of stage, radio, screen; of a lung infection with heart complications ; in Beverly Hills. An East Side New York blacksmith's son, at 15 he gave a violin recital in Carnegie Hall, took up engineering after hearing Mischa Elman's debut.* In a Brauhaus he played his way through college, finally landed in vaudeville as "Ben, The Eccentric Violinist." In the early '20s he formed one of the country's leading dance bands (for a while his pianist was Oscar Levant). For years he set the beat at Chicago's College Inn and Manhattan's Roosevelt Grill. On the radio his pseudo-feuding with Walter Winchell became as famous as the sign-off he gave Jan. 15 for the last time: "Au revoir, a fond cheerio, a bit of toodle-oo, God bless you, and pleas--ant dreams."

Died. Admiral Sir Alfred Dudley Pickman Rogers Pound, 66, Britain's First Sea Lord and Chief of Naval Staff from May 1939 to last Oct. 4; some six weeks after being taken ill while returning from the Quebec Conference; in London.

In World War II he brilliantly organized supplies, blockades.

Died. Felix Philip Vaccaro, 77, youngest of New Orleans' famed, fruit-rich Vaccaro brothers; after long illness; in New Orleans.

By the '30s the silent Italian trio were powers in (largely Louisianian) orange groves, ships, chemicals, banks, presses, oil, ice, hotels, real estate, insurance.
