MILESTONES

Exorcised. Prince Tejansakti of Thai (formerly Siam), 5 weeks old; of evil spirits; in Virginia Water, Surrey, England, where his family and retinue are in comfortable exile. In a wordless, 1,000-year-old ceremony, Grandfather Prajadhipok (who abdicated the Siamese throne in 1935) and 20 guests made passes over little Prince Tejansakti's body with cords to trap the evil spirits, which were then burned with the cords. King Prajadhipok snipped a lock of hair from the baby's head, wrapped it in lotus leaves, set it afloat down the river. Finally, Grandfather Prajadhipok sprinkled holy water from a Thai temple on Tejansakti's downy pate. Then everybody sat down, sipped champagne.

Born. To Harold LeClair Ickes, 65, U. S. Secretary of the Interior, and Jane Dahlman Ickes, 26, whom he married secretly in Ireland in May 1938, three years after his first wife died in an automobile accident; a 7-pound, 11-ounce son, her first child, his fourth; in Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore. Secretary Ickes had his parental jitters in an emergency Cabinet meeting in Washington.

Married. Joy Hodges, 24, grey-eyed ingenue of George M. Cohan's I'd Rather Be Right, and Gilbert H. Doorly, 32, assistant managing editor of the Omaha, Neb. World-Herald; in Des Moines, Iowa.

Marriage Revealed. Ernest ("Uncle Ernest") Schelling, 63, gawky, mustachioed U. S. musician who for 16 years has uncled, and conducted, Manhattan's Young People's Concerts; and Helen Huntington ("Peggy") Marshall, 21, niece of Mrs. Vincent Astor; in Berne, Switzerland; August 11.

Divorced. Ken Maynard, 44, slick-haired film cowboy, and Mary Leper Maynard, 40, originator of Hollywood's drunk service; in Hollywood. Grounds: incompatibility. Her discreet, ginger-ale drinking "Cavaliers" will, for a fee, accompany a client on an alcoholic evening, insure:

1) that he has an unrestrained good time,

2) that he neither starts a fight, jumps his budget, loses his wallet, drives his car,

3) that he gets safely home to bed.

Died. Clarissa Curtis Cantacuzene, 39, divorced wife of Prince Michael Cantacuzene, Chicago socialite real-estate man, son of Grand Duke Nicholas' aide de camp, great-grandson of Ulysses S. Grant; by her own hand (gas); in Manhattan.

Died. Hans Kundt, 70, soldier of fortune, German commander of the Bolivian Army during the Gran Chaco War; in Lugano, Switzerland. In 1918, mustered out of the German Army, Kundt migrated with his family to Bolivia, became a Bolivian citizen. When the Chaco war broke, Bolivia made him head of the Army, cashiered him when he failed to whip Paraguay.
