Monday, Feb. 26, 1945

Born. To Prince Franz Josef II, 38, ruler of the tiny (65 sq. mi.), neutral Principality of Liechtenstein; and Princess Georgine, 23, blond, onetime Austrian countess; their first child, a son; in Vaduz, Liechtenstein. Name: Johannes Adam Pius. Godfather: Pope Pius XII.

Married. Commander David McCampbell, 35, No. 1 Navy ace (34 Jap planes, nine in one day), recently awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor; and Sara-Jane Heliker Kahn, 33, ex-daughter-in-law of the late Financier Otto H. Kahn; both for the second time; at Anacostia, D.C.

Married. Donald M. Nelson, 56, special assistant to Franklin Roosevelt; and Marguerite S. Coulbourn, 26, his onetime secretary; one month after Nelson was divorced for desertion; both for the second time; in Washington, D.C. After their honeymoon, the bride will move from her suite in Washington's sprawling Westchester apartments to the bride groom's quarters on the other side of the building.

Divorced. By Sir Archibald Clark Kerr, 62, tall, tweedy British Ambassador to Russia and recent Yalta conferee: Lady Kerr (Maria Teresa Diaz Salas), 38, comely Chilean socialite, now a resident of Manhattan; after 16 years of childless marriage; in Edinburgh, Scotland. The grounds: desertion (since 1941).

Died. Maximino Avila Camacho, 52, Mexican Secretary of Communications and strident, notorious elder brother of Mexico's pious President; of a heart attack; in Puebla, Mexico. The death of the aggressively ambitious onetime cowhand, bullfighter and revolutionary left few sincere mourners among his countrymen.

Died. Sir William Rothenstein, 73, amiable, bespectacled British artist who for five decades made competent portraits of celebrities, achieved celebrity himself with his anecdote-crammed memoirs (Men and Memories, Since Fifty) about such famed friends as Pablo Picasso ("the gigolo of geometry") and H. G. Wells ("a great literary cartoonist"). Sample Rothenstein sidelight on a celebrity: Albert Einstein once explained to him why an associate kept shaking his head as the great physicist talked: "He is my mathematician," said Einstein, "who examines problems which I put before him and checks their validity. You see, I am not myself a very good mathematician."

Died. Henrietta Szold, 84, Baltimore-born "grand old lady" of Jewry, founder of Hadassah, women's Zionist organization, who spent the last 25 years in Palestine, energetically directing Jewish resettlement work; of pneumonia; in Jerusalem.
