Monday, Jun. 30, 1952
Born. To Cinemactress Ingrid (Joan of Arc) Bergman, 36, and Director Roberto (The Miracle) Rossellini, 46: twin girls, their second and third children, her third and fourth, his fourth and fifth. Names: Isabella Fiorella (6 Ibs. 15 oz.; 6:30 p.m.) and Isotta Ingrid (7 Ibs. 1 oz.; 7 p.m.); in Rome.
Married. Martha Rountree, 35, blonde, bouncy coproducer (since 1945) of the successful Radio-TV show Meet the Press; and Oliver Presbrey, 43, advertising agency account executive; both for the second time; in Tucson, Ariz.
Died. Efim Dmitrievich Bogolyubov, 64, Russian-born German national chess champion; of a heart attack; in Triberg, Germany. Beefy Bogolyubov kept chess enthusiasts the world over in seemingly endless anxiety in 1929 when he took on Dr. Aleksandr Alekhin of Paris in a 25-game world championship match, played in Wiesbaden, Heidelberg, Berlin, The Hague, Rotterdam and Amsterdam--and lost.
Died. James Wolcott Wadsworth, 74, New York's Republican Senator (1915-27), who returned to the Capitol as an upstate Congressman (1933-51), in 1940 co-authored (with Nebraska's Democratic Senator Edward Burke) the first peacetime U.S. draft law; of cancer; in Washington, D.C. A colorless public speaker, he was widely respected by both political camps in Washington as an able, intelligent legislator, with a special interest in national defense. His uncompromising opposition to women's suffrage and Prohibition helped unseat him in the Senate, but as an expert on military affairs, he felt that his bitterest defeat was his failure ever to get enactment of universal military training, which he began advocating soon after World War I.
Died. Raymond Benjamin, 79, onetime (1914-15) Grand Exalted Ruler of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the U.S., chairman (1918-22) of the California Republican State Committee, in Westport, Conn.
Died. Samuel Gumpertz, 84, veteran showman, onetime (1932-37) vice president and general manager of Ringling Brothers Circus, onetime manager of Coney Island's Dreamland and Atlantic City's Million Dollar Pier; in Sarasota, Fla.
Died. Dr. Andrew Cowper Lawson, 91, professor emeritus (of geology and mineralogy) at the University of California; after long illness; in San Leandro, Calif. An authority on earthquakes, Scottish-born Dr. Lawson attracted nationwide attention in 1949, when, at the age of 87, he became the father of a son ("It's nothing, it happens all the time. I don't see why old men should be debarred from having families").
