Born. To John Charles Daly, 48, glib host on CBS's What's My Line?, and Virginia Warren Daly, 34, daughter of Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren: their first child, a boy; in Manhattan.

Married. Harold Hecht, 55, independent Hollywood producer (Marty, Sweet Smell of Success); and Martine Milner (real name: Margaret Truefitt), 26, London fashion model; he for the second time; in San Francisco.

Married. Lotte Lenya, 64, widow and singing disciple of Composer Kurt (The Threepenny Opera] Weill; and Russell Detwiler, 37, a plump U.S. impressionist painter; she for the third time; in London's Caxton Hall Registry Office. Said tawny-haired Lotte: "When you are really in love, age just becomes something written in your passport."

Died. Ricardo Rodriguez, 20, speed-bent whiz kid of the international auto-racing fraternity, the handsome son of a wealthy Mexico City businessman, who won the 1957 Mexican driving championship at 15, burned up race tracks from Sebring to Le Mans with his lead-footed determination to "start first, stay first, end first"; after the crash of his Lotus racer in Mexico City.

Died. Chet Roble (real name: Chester Wroblewski), 54, Chicago pianist admired around the Loop for his sublime "barefoot jazz," so called because his relaxing listeners were apt to kick off their shoes and wriggle their toes to the music; of a heart attack; in Chicago.

Died. Florence Noxon Carpenter, 62, mother of U.S. Astronaut Malcolm Scott Carpenter, who cautioned newsmen after her son's three orbits of the earth last May, "I'm not a celebrity"; of pulmonary hemorrhage; in Boulder, Colo.

Died. Eger Vaughan Murphree, 63, president of Esso Research & Engineering Co. since 1947, a cool and persuasive executive-chemist who developed the 100-octane gasoline that boosted World War II bombers 43% in load-carrying capacity, served on James B. Conant's S-1 Committee, which set up the atom-smashing Manhattan Project, and in 1956 spent a year trying to unscramble the U.S. ballistic missile program as its first overall civilian boss; of a heart attack; in Summit, N.J.

Died. Larry Goetz, 66, granite-jawed National League baseball umpire (1935-57) who rarely lost a rhubarb by following his dictum. "You can't be a good guy and be a good umpire"; of a heart attack; in Cincinnati. The old arbiter's rarest treat was once ejecting former Brooklyn Manager Leo Durocher before the game even began. Presenting his lineup, Durocher snarled: "What I said yesterday still goes." Replied Goetz: "And what I said yesterday still goes, too. Yer out of the game."

Died. Harlow Herbert Curtice, 69, president of General Motors Corp. in 1955 when it produced 3,989,987 cars, more than any other automaker before or since; of a heart attack; in Flint, Mich. (see U.S. BUSINESS).

Died. A. (for Abraham) J. (for Joseph) Balaban, 73, Midwest impresario of the 1920s movie-palace era who operated on the idea that theaters should be "a thing of beauty, a fairyland," and with his elder brother Barney, later president of Paramount Pictures, built a 100-theater chain (now merged with Paramount) featuring Arabian Nights decor, corps of military ushers, and the rumble of mighty Wurlitzers; of a heart attack; in Manhattan.

Died. Stanley Burnet Resor, 83, titan of U.S. advertising who made J. Walter Thompson Co. into the world's biggest ($370 million annual billings) and most sedate ad agency as its president from 1916 to 1955 and board chairman from 1955 to 1961; of bleeding peptic ulcer; in Manhattan. An aloof man of utmost rectitude, Resor opened Thompson's Cincinnati office in 1980s and eight years later bought the firm from its namesake; shunning the flashy sell, his agency turned out solid, convincing ads for such blue-chip clients as Ford and Eastman Kodak, thrived on scientific surveys and the negative commandments--no whisky ads, no relatives on the payroll.

Died. Godfrey Lowell Cabot, 101, a most proper Bostonian, whose longevity was a measure of his zest for life; in Boston (see THE NATION).
