Born. To John Roosevelt, 36, youngest son of F.D.R., and Anne Clark Roosevelt, 35: their fourth child, a daughter. Name: Jean Lindsay. Weight: 6 Ibs. 4 oz.

Married. Robert L. Smith, 21, first quadruple amputee of the Korean war; and Barbara Borm, 17, a volunteer worker he met when she visited the Army's Walter Reed Hospital; in Washington. In November 1956 Smith lay wounded in a ditch for three days; by the time he was rescued his hands and legs were so badly frozen they had to be amputated.

Died. Haywood Patterson, 39, one of the nine famed "Scottsboro Boys," who were convicted, after one of the most sensational trials of the century, of raping two white women in a freight car; of cancer; in Southern Michigan Prison, where he was serving a 6-to-15-year term for manslaughter. Sentenced (in 1937) to 75 years in jail for his part in the Scottsboro case, Patterson escaped from an Alabama prison, fought off extradition attempts, but was sent to jail again in 1950 for stabbing a man in a barroom brawl.

Died. Lawrence Mario Giannini, 57, president (since 1936) of the West Coast's giant, 531-branch Bank of America, founded by his father, the late A. P. (Amadeo Peter) Giannini; after long illness; in San Francisco.

Died. The Rev. John Franklyn ("J. Frank") Norris, 74, tempestuous pastor of the First Baptist Church in Fort Worth (and, until 1951, of the Temple Baptist Church in Detroit as well); of a heart attack, at a Fundamentalist camp meeting; in Keystone Heights, Fla. In 1912, when the old First Baptist in Fort Worth burned down, Pastor Norris was indicted for arson. When he produced threatening letters to prove it was the work of his enemies, he was charged with perjury. A jury acquitted him on both charges, while his congregation filled the courtroom to sing The Old-Time Religion. In 1926, in his church study, Norris shot and killed an unarmed Fort Worth lumberman, D. E. Chipps, got off scot-free when he called it "self-defense." Constantly at odds with the Southern Baptists, he organized some 3,000 churches into his own Fundamentalist fellowship, urged his followers to "use the broad axe of John the Baptist, not a little pearl-handled knife, on worldly card playing, dancing, and hell raising."

Died. Henry Joseph Haskell, 78, scholarly editor (since 1928) of the Kansas City Star, two-time Pulitzer Prizewinner (1934, 1944); in Kansas City.
