Milestones: Feb. 5, 1965

Born. To Gloria Vanderbilt, 40, oft-married heiress to a $5,000,000 share of the Vanderbilt fortune, and Wyatt Cooper, 40, Hollywood scriptwriter (The Chapman Report), her fourth husband: their first child, a son (she has two boys, 14 and 13, by Husband No. 2, Conductor Leopold Stokowski); in Manhattan.

Married. Andrew Heiskell, 49, board chairman of Time Inc.; and Marian Sulzberger Dryfoos, 46, granddaughter of the modern New York Times’s first publisher, daughter of its second, widow of its third, sister of its fourth and present publisher; he for the third time, she for the second; in a civil ceremony; in Manhattan.

Died. Hassanali Mansur, 41, Iran’s reform-minded Premier; by assassination; in Teheran (see THE WORLD).

Died. Frol Romanovich Kozlov, 57, onetime No. 2 man in the Kremlin; after a series of strokes; in Moscow. Urbane and well-dressed, Kozlov was the stereotype of Communism’s second-generation apparatchiki—the flexible party bureaucrat who could work with equal fervor for Stalin, Malenkov or Khrushchev, while carefully testing Moscow’s changing winds. His real rise began in 1957, when, as a member of the 130-man Communist Central Committee, he shrewdly backed Khrushchev’s bid for power, shortly thereafter became one of Nikita’s two First Deputy Premiers and heir apparent; his decline started in 1963 when his hard-line anti-Yugoslav attitude brought a swift and angry rebuke from Khrushchev, after which his illness dropped him from the front ranks, and eventually from public view altogether.

Died. Harry Stuhldreher, 63, quarterback of Notre Dame’s famed Four Horsemen backfield, the 5 ft. 7 in. “little general” whose pinpoint passes, shrewd field tactics and shin-splitting blocks led the Fighting Irish to 27 victories in 30 games from 1922 to 1924, and won for him a place on Walter Camp’s 1924 All-America team—the only one of the four to make it; of acute pancreatitis; in Pittsburgh. Stuhldreher was less successful as a coach, winning only 45 while losing 62 in 13 years at the University of Wisconsin, finally left in 1950 to become a U.S. Steel industrial relations executive and one of the country’s best-known banquet speakers, reliving the rides of the Four Horsemen some 250 times a year.

Died. Sumner Sewall, 67, pioneer aviator and Republican Governor of Maine from 1941 to 1945, a World War I ace (seven planes, two balloons) who teamed with Juan Trippe in 1926 to fly the first New York-to-Boston airmail run, as Maine’s World War II Governor organized one of the country’s first Civil Defense Corps, later returned to aviation as president of American Overseas Airways, helped build it into a major transatlantic carrier before it merged with Trippe’s Pan American in 1950; of a heart attack; in Bath, Me.

Died. Pierre Taittinger, 77, mayor of Paris during the German occupation, scion of one of France’s most illustrious champagne families, whose collaboration with the Nazis, though under duress, won him a short prison term and utter disgrace after the war, but was later credited with saving Paris from the destruction repeatedly ordered by Hitler as Allied armies advanced on the city; of uremic poisoning; in Paris.

Died. Elizabeth Shepley Sergeant, 83, friend and biographer of two U.S. literary pillars (Willa Gather: A Memoir; Robert Frost: The Trial by Existence), among whose reminiscences were Gather’s abject chagrin at Henry James’s polite refusal to read her novels and Frost’s nagging suspicion that his wife was his intellectual superior; in Manhattan.

Died. General Maxime Weygand, 98, diminutive cavalry officer who tasted France’s sweetest victory as Marshal Foch’s chief of staff reading the surrender terms to German generals at Compiegne in 1918, then acceded to his nation’s most bitter defeat in June 1940, when as the 73-year-old commander of Allied troops in France, he found the Nazi blitzkrieg so overwhelming that he recommended capitulation before the entire country was overrun; of complications following a broken hip; in Paris. Over the years most Frenchmen have forgiven his lack of fighting spirit, putting it down to age and a lifetime spent thinking in terms of trench warfare. But not Charles de Gaulle, who denied him a funeral at Les Invalides, traditional shrine for French military heroes.
