Friday, Dec. 04, 1964

Married. Melissa Murphy, 21, daughter of California's new Republican U.S.

Senator; and Robert Ellis, 23, fellow student at the University of Colorado; in Aspen, Colo.

Died. Colonel William Draper, 44, Eisenhower's pilot during eight presidential years, who almost always brought Ike winging in on time despite snowstorms, tardy politicians and small-town airstrips, logging over 200, 000 miles in the Columbine and 707; by his own hand (hanging), probably a result of despondency since a heart attack grounded him last year; in Camp Springs, Md.

Died. The Most Rev. Edward Daly, 70, Roman Catholic bishop of Des Moines since 1948, one of 22 American churchmen serving on Ecumenical Council commissions; of injuries sustained when the TWA Boeing 707 he was taking to Athens veered off the runway, slammed into a steamroller and exploded during an aborted takeoff at Rome's Leonardo da Vinci Airport, killing 48 of 73 passengers and crew.

Died. William O'Dwyer, 74, New York City's bluff, ebullient Democratic mayor from 1946 to 1950; of a heart attack; in Manhattan. The luck of the Irish "Billo" had, at least in the beginning--immigrant from County Mayo at 20, bartender, hod carrier, New York City policeman, night-school lawyer and overnight hero in 1940 when, as Brooklyn D.A., he uncovered the infamous Murder, Inc. and sent seven of its killers to the chair. That made him mayor of New York, and a good job he seemed to be doing too--until he suddenly quit "because of health" to take a less taxing job as Ambassador to Mexico, and people soon after discovered that his aides had been shaking down bookies and oil-burner dealers for $1,500,000. There was no evidence that O'Dwyer was in on the graft, but he could not bring himself to return to Manhattan until ten years later.

Died. Arthur Winarick, 75, who converted a 20-room Catskills boardinghouse into what is now the 1,500-room Concord Hotel, the Borsch Belt's biggest beat, offering pink, yellow or blue snow on the winter ski slopes, 45 golf holes in the summer, and romantic matchmaking all year round; of a heart attack; in Kiamesha Lake, N.Y.

Died. Bessie Love Merryman, 100, the Duchess of Windsor's dowager aunt and her constant chaperone throughout the royal courtship, a hard-boiled Yankee who advised Edward in the midst of his dilemma between Cupid and crown, "You can always marry someone else; you can never again be King"; in Washington.
