Married. Billy Rose, 65, Broadway showman who, as the largest individual owner of A. T. & T. (80,000 shares worth some $11 million), now spends almost as much time reading the Wall Street Journal as he does Variety; and Doris Warner Vidor, 48, daughter of the late cinemogul Harry Warner; she for the third time, he for the fifth; in Montego Bay, Jamaica.

Married. Levi Eshkol, 68, Premier of Israel, and Miriam Zelikovitch, 34, onetime Israeli Army sergeant, now librarian of Parliament; he for the third time (his first wife divorced him in 1930, his second died in 1959); in a lunch-hour ceremony after which Eshkol hustled off to a foreign policy conference in Jerusalem.

Divorced. By Elizabeth Taylor Hilton Wilding Todd Fisher, 32: Edwin Jack Fisher, 35; on grounds of abandonment, cruelty and inhuman treatment; after almost five years of legal marriage, no children; in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. It was, as they say, a Mexican standoff, Eddie being in Puerto Rico while Liz was in Toronto with the leading candidate to stretch her name by six more letters; but Liz did not have to be there in person, and when no one showed up from Eddie's side during the 21-day waiting period, Liz's lawyers won the award "by default."

Died. Colonel John Charles Nickerson Jr., 48, U.S. Army missileer who publicly attacked a 1956 Pentagon decision to limit the Army to short-range missiles, for which he earned a court-martial and a tour of duty in the Canal Zone, but vindication when an Army Jupiter put the first U.S. satellite into orbit; in an auto accident; near Alamogordo, N. Mex.

Died. Susan Edwards Wagner, 54, wife of New York's Democratic Mayor Robert F. Wagner, a quiet blonde from the staunchly Republican suburb of Greenwich, Conn., who, as hostess in the past ten years at Manhattan's executive residence, Gracie Mansion, entertained expedient thousands who roamed through the house pinching souvenirs; of lung cancer; in Manhattan.

Died. Thomas Winston Briggs, 77, founder and president of Welcome Wagon International, who in 1928, out of "a desire to contribute to human happiness," first set Welcome Wagon hostesses to dropping in on newcomers in town with baskets of gifts from local merchants, a system so beneficial to trade that Briggs extended the system to 2,000 U.S. and Canadian cities, collected fees from merchants (at $10 to $30 a basket) that in the last decade alone came to well over $100 million; of cancer; in Manhattan.
