Milestones

Married. Moira Shearer, 23, red-haired ballerina of London's Sadler's Wells Ballet, star of the hit British movie The Red Shoes; and Ludovic Kennedy, 30, wartime Royal Navy lieutenant, onetime Oxford librarian; in the royal chapel of Hampton Court Palace, Hampton Court, Middlesex.

Divorced. Elliot Paul, 59, footloose author (The Life and Death of a Spanish Town, The Last Time I Saw Paris), onetime expatriate co-editor of transition; by Barbara Ellen Paul, 32, his third wife; after five years of marriage, one son; in Los Angeles.

Died. Sarat Chandra Bose, 60, chubby, British-baiting leader of India's left-wing Socialist Republican Party, elder brother of the late Subhas Chandra Bose, wartime Japanese puppet, younger brother of the late Congressman Satish Chandra Bose; of a coronary thrombosis; in Calcutta.

Died. Dr. George Richards Minot, 64, Harvard professor of medicine (1928-48) whose interest in diet, enforced by his own diabetes, led him i) to the discovery that eating liver helped people with pernicious anemia and 2) to a one-third share of the 1934 Nobel Prize for Medicine; after long illness; in Brookline, Mass.

Died. Robert Digges Wimberly Connor, 71, first Archivist of the U.S. (1934-41); in Durham, N.C. A University of North Carolina history professor and a onetime Archivist of the State of North Carolina, Connor was already an old hand at old documents when Franklin Roosevelt appointed him to the task of assembling in Washington's brand-new Archives Building a mountain of scattered records.

Died. Sir Harry Lauder, 79, stubby, bandy-legged Scottish comic whose pawky burr and lilting ditties (Roamin-in the Gloamin', Wee Hoose 'Mang the Heather, I Love a Lassie) endeared him to millions of vaudeville-goers and record listeners the world over; after long illness; in Strathaven (rhymes with raven), Scotland. Reared in poverty, the onetime mill boy and coal miner waggled his kilt and twirled his famous crooked stick to delight three generations. He acquired a fortune and (wrote Winston Churchill) "by his inspiring songs and valiant life . . . rendered measureless service to the Scottish race and to the British Empire."

Died. Irving Addison Bacheller, 90, whose optimistic fresh-air tales of upstate New York's "North Country" (Eben Hoiden, Barrel of the Blessed Isles, Silas Strong) were pre-Jazz Age favorites; in White Plains, N.Y. At 40, Bacheller left his job as Sunday editor of Pulitzer's New York World to finish his third novel (his first two were flops), Eben Holden, which sold a million copies and brought him sudden fame.
