Friday, Sep. 28, 1962

Born. To Maria del Carmen Franco y Polo, Marquesa de Villaverde, 36, raven-haired only child of Spain's Generalisimo Francisco Franco, and Dr. Cristobal Martinez Bordiu Ortega y Bascaran, tenth Marques de Villaverde, 40, heart and lung surgeon whose 17th century title puts him a notch below a grandee: their sixth child, fourth daughter.

Married. Sloan Wilson, 42, novelist of the East Coast's well-tailored society; and Betty Joan Stephens, 28, Manhattan public relations girl; he for the second time, she for the first; in Dublin.

Died. Therese Neumann, 64, a zealously religious Bavarian spinster who, beginning in 1926, appeared to suffer stigmata similar to the crucified Christ, bleeding from wounds below her eyes, her heart and on her hands; of a heart attack; in Konnersreuth, Germany. Therese permitted herself to be viewed on Good Fridays by Roman Catholics, many of whom considered her to be a living saint; the Vatican remained neutral and doctors considered her affliction a nervous disorder conditioned by her religious fervor.

Died. Annaser Ledin Allah Ahmad, 66th Imam of Yemen, 71, revered as "The Big Turban" among his 5,000,000 subjects in Islam's most feudal state, a cunning caliph who for 13 years managed to hang onto his throne, his air-conditioned Cadillacs, and his 40-woman harem by beheading his foes (among the victims: five of his brothers) and by firmly resisting all thoughts of leading Yemen out of the Arabian night; in his palace at San'a.

Died. Marie, Princess Bonaparte, 80, wealthy widow of Greece's Prince George and great-granddaughter of Napoleon's eldest brother Lucien, who shook off her royal trappings and reputation as "the greatest heiress in France" to become a lay psychoanalyst (she wrote a book analyzing Edgar Allan Poe) and translator of her close friend, Dr. Sigmund Freud; in St.-Tropez, France.

Died. The Rev. Dr. John Leighton Stuart, 86, one of the ablest of the Old China Hands and the last U.S. ambassador on the mainland (1946-53), a spare, scholarly Presbyterian missionary who in 1919 founded China's No. 1 Christian university, American-endowed Yenching, and saw this center of Western learning in the Orient survive Japanese occupation only to become a Marxist-Leninist thought factory; in Washington, D.C. Chosen as ambassador by President Truman's special envoy, General George Marshall, Stuart vainly attempted to bring about a peaceful settlement between China's warring Communists and Nationalists, aptly remarked before the Reds finally shut the open door in 1949, "The trouble is that the Chinese Communists don't think like Chinese."
