Married. David Rockefeller, 25, sober, hulking, moon-faced youngest son of John Davison Rockefeller Jr.; and Margaret McGrath, 24, comely socialite; in Bedford, N.Y.

Sued for divorce. Adolph Bernard Spreckels Jr., 28, four-times-married sportsman and sugar tycoon; by Emily Hall von Romberg Spreckels, 28, comely onetime baroness; in Santa Barbara, Calif.

Died. Leon Forrest Douglass, 71, millionaire inventor and co-founder of the Victor Talking Machine Company; after a long illness; in San Francisco. Once said to have "done more to abolish peace and quiet than anyone else now living," Douglass gave Edison's phonograph a spring motor, brought its inventor his first cash reward. Once he had his daughter fight an octopus to publicize his underwater camera. Other Douglass inventions: a magnetic torpedo for World War I, the first pay telephone, a device for double reproduction of sound in radio.

Died. Leonor Fresnel Loree, 82, retired (1938) head of Delaware & Hudson Railroad; of a heart attack; at his mountain estate near West Orange, N.J. Among sleek, ICC-conscious latterday railroad presidents, massive (300-lb.), buffalo-bearded, uncompromising Leonor Loree seemed a gaudy symbol of the roaring '80s, when he began his long career. In 60 years he headed more roads, introduced more permanent operating innovations, made a higher salary ($100,000) than any surviving railroader. His last spectacular gesture came in 1933, when he bought his way (for $10,000,000) into the No. 1 stockholder's seat of mighty New York Central. Widely read, a quoter of Spengler and Ortega y Gasset. he wrote an authoritative book on railroads, another on anthracite. His motto: "Be audacious." His battlecry: "Management is notoriously underpaid."
