Born. To Konrad Adenauer Jr., 54, director of a Cologne mining company and eldest son of the West German Chancellor, and Carola Adenauer; their sixth child (the 84-year-old Chancellor's 21st grandchild), a son; in Cologne. Name Max Patrick.

Married. John Barrymore Jr., 28, bearded son of The Great Profile; and Italian Starlet Gabriella Palazzoli, 23; he for the second time, she for the first; in a church atop Rome's Palatine Hill.

Died. Marshal Mitrofan Ivanovich Nedelin, 57, handsome, athletic professional soldier ("a gunner, that's all") and chief of the Soviet Rocket Command; in a plane crash while on an undisclosed mission. A much-decorated Hero of the Soviet Union, a deputy Defense Minister and alternate member of the Communist Party Central Committee. Nedelin defended Moscow's western front during the German attack of 1941, later in the war shifted to the Ukraine (where he first gained favor with Khrushchev) and rose swiftly but anonymously through the ranks of artillerymen until Khrushchev casually revealed his top spot last May, after Russian rockets allegedly hit their biggest target: the U-2 piloted by Francis Gary Powers. Hailed at the time by the Premier as "a remarkable soldier . . . who knows more about rocketry than anybody." Nedelin's ashes were buried with military pomp in the Kremlin wall. Western correspondents were inexplicably barred from the ceremony.

Died. James F. ("Boston Billy Williams") Monahan, 62, successful jewel thief whose birthstone was diamond and whose loadstone was high society; of a kidney ailment; in Worcester, Mass. A quiet operator in the Roaring '205, Monahan mingled gracefully with intended victims on the ballroom floor, later climbed second-story ladders for a lifetime take of $5,000,000 (insured value), but died a pauper because he couldn't get an honest job after 31 years in jail.

Died. Harry Ferguson, 75. industrial visionary and inventor who made millions on a handshake agreement with a friend named Henry Ford; apparently of a heart attack; in his remote stone mansion near Stow-on-the-Wold, England. A farm boy like Ford, Irish-born Ferguson saw machines as vehicles for worldwide peace and plenty, tinkered early with autos and planes, invented a radically new, hydraulically controlled, lightweight tractor that was produced by Ford, and at 71 showed off the prototype of a rugged, gearless, turbine-powered "wonder car." Shy but stubborn, Ferguson sued Henry Ford II in 1948 for $341,600,000 for Dreaking the oral tractor deal, settled four years later for $9,250,000. Said Ferguson: "This never would have happened if the old man was still alive."
