Monday, May. 22, 1944

Born. To the late, great Raider Orde Charles Wingate, 41, bush-bearded jungle general, killed in a Burma plane crash (TIME, April 10); and Lorna Wingate, 26, his beauteous, Scottish-born widow: their first child, a son; in Aberdeen, Scotland.

Married. Clara Clemens Gabrilowitsch, 51, only one of Mark Twain's four daughters to survive him; and Jacques Samossoud, 53, Russian-born conductor; in Hollywood. Her husband for 27 years was Ossip Gabrilowitsch, the Detroit Symphony's Russian-born pianist-conductor, who died in 1936.

Divorced. Army Air Forces Sergeant Joseph Paul Di Maggio Jr., 29, peacetime New York Yankee centerfielder; by onetime cinema bit Player Dorothy Arnold Olson, 26; after four and a half years of marriage, two return trips to Reno; in Los Angeles. Mrs. Di Maggio testified that Jolting Joe was both a stay-out (with men friends) and a clam at home: "He never acted like a married man." She got custody of their two-year-old son, Joe III.

Killed in Action. Klaus Doenitz, eldest son of Grand Admiral Karl Doenitz, in a brush between a British destroyer and a Nazi torpedo boat. The Admiral's youngest son, U-boat Lieut. Peter Doenitz, was reported killed in March.

Died. Metropolitan Sergei, 78, Patri arch of Moscow and All Russia; of a brain hemorrhage; in Moscow. A favorite churchman at the court of the last Tsar Nicholas II, in 1925 he became Patriarch of the then unrecognized Russian Or thodox Church. He doggedly insisted on peace with Bolshevism as the price for the Church's survival. His years of patient waiting were rewarded last year with the official restoration of the Church, his own formal recognition as Patriarch (TIME, Sept. 13 et seg.). A great theological scholar, he last month challenged the Pope as vicar of Christ, proposed a union of churches under one leader chosen from among bishops of the world's capitals.

Died. Sir Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch, 80, dean of English belle-lettrists, two months after he was hit by a jeep; in Fowey, Cornwall. Known to all Eng land as "Q," red-haired Quiller-Couch (Couch, pronounced Cooch, means red in Celtic) wrote the first of his 30 romantic novels (Dead Man's Rock) in 1887, edited the Oxford Book of English Verse. An Oxford graduate, he was longtime (since 1912) King Edward VII Professor of English Literature at Cambridge. He always wore traditional morning dress to his lectures, relaxed in old clothes and a battered brown derby as famed in England as Al Smith's in the U.S. In 1922, sharp-faced, crusty Q addressed and amazed a conference of churchmen: "I do hold that a total abstainer ... is in the nature of things imperfectly equipped for high literature, because high literature, both in its creation and its full enjoyment, demands total manhood, of which a teetotal manhood is obviously a modification."

Died. Eugen Steinach, 83, Viennese sex "rejuvenator," in Territet, Switzer land. After changing the sex of guinea pigs by transplantation of their sex glands, handsome Dr. Steinach went on to the problem of staving off old age, devised the "Steinach vasoligature" for stimulating the flow of hormones, called it reactivation. The claim that the method "re juvenated" failing men got thousands "Steinached" during the '205, was roundly denounced in medical circles. Thrice reactivated himself, vigorous Dr. Steinach wrote his last book (Sex and Life) in 1940, two years after the Nazis found him guilty of having had a Jewish grand father. In Swiss exile, he was working at making sterile cows fertile.

Died. Dame Ethel Smyth, 86, Eng land's top woman composer (Mass in D), writer (As Time Went On), onetime suffragette; in Woking, Surrey. Mannish Dame Ethel was once jugged for throwing a brick through the Home Secretary's window. She also smoked cigars.
