Friday, Oct. 26, 1962

Born. To Hugh Leo Carey, 43, Democratic Congressman from Brooklyn, Capitol Hill's champion father, and his wife Helen, 38: their twelfth child, seventh boy; in Brooklyn, N.Y.

Married. Cecil Harmsworth King, 61, Britain's biggest press lord, whose Daily Mirror Group encompasses eight British and a dozen overseas newspapers, plus 200 assorted periodicals (total circ. 36.5 million); and Ruth Railton, 46, a longtime friend, founder and director of the Daily Mirror-sponsored National Youth Orchestra; he for the second time; in Maidenhead, England.

Divorced. By Lana Turner, 42, Hollywood's original Sweater Girl: California Rancher Fred May, 45, husband No. 5; in Juarez, Mexico.

Died. Franc,oise de Moriere, 29, a French girl working as a stewardess for Allegheny Airlines; in a rare and eerie aircraft mishap; near Hartford, Conn. As Allegheny's short-hop Convair approached Hartford's Bradley Field, a loose cabin door in the rear of the plane suddenly blew open; rapid decompression popped her through the opening and to her death on an open field 1,500 ft. below. "She was gone in a flash," said a passenger. "Not a cry--not a word."

Died. William Price Gray, 53, longtime editor of LIFE's international editions; of heart disease; in Manhattan's New York Hospital. A Washington-born Northwesterner, Gray started his journalistic career on West Coast newspapers, signed on in 1942 as a Time Inc. correspondent mainly covering the Pacific war on its battlegrounds, stayed overseas after V-J day as Shanghai bureau chief, reporting the collapse of the Nationalist Chinese; returning home, he was appointed editor in 1950 of LIFE'S fortnightly edition sent abroad, a post in which he helped launch LIFE EN ESPANOL and last year the Italian-language monthly PANORAMA, sponsored jointly by Time Inc. and Mondadori.

Died. Albert Lavenson Furth, 60, assistant editorial director of Time Inc.; of cancer; in Manhattan's Harkness Pavilion. A gentle, dryly witty Californian who came East with Hearst's old International News Service, Furth joined TIME in 1930 to write the PRESS and AERONAUTICS sections, in 1936 became a member of FORTUNE's board of editors, became executive editor in 1942, a post he held for 14 years until his appointment as an overall editorial planner for all Time Inc. publications.

Died. The Most Rev. Joseph Aloysius Burke, 76, Roman Catholic bishop of the 879,000-member diocese of Buffalo, N.Y., a boilermaker's son who recently celebrated the golden jubilee of his priesthood; of a heart attack; at the Ecumenical Council in the Vatican. All five U.S. cardinals and 350 bishops overflowed Rome's little Church of Santa Susanna for Bishop Burke's Requiem Mass, marking the first death among the 2,540 prelates at the council.

Died. Irma Rombauer, 83, author of The Joy of Cooking, the brides' benison; of an embolism; in St. Louis (see MODERN LIVING).

Died. Charles Hopkinson, 93, dean of U.S. portrait artists; in Manchester, Mass. A proper Bostonian known as the "court painter of Harvard" for his precise oils of Presidents Charles W. Eliot (his uncle), Abbott Lawrence Lowell and James B. Conant, Hopkinson dashed off impetuous watercolors for pleasure, but turned a cool New Englander's eye to his investigations of famous men. His first portrait was of the late E. E. Cummings as a baby, and his later works ranged from John D. Rockefeller Jr. to Herbert Hoover and a dour, purse-mouthed Calvin Coolidge, which now hangs in the White House Green Room. Roared Oliver Wendell Holmes, on seeing his own leonine likeness: "That is not I, but perhaps it is just as well that people should think it is. How did the damned little cuss do it?"
