Married. Sir Malcolm Campbell, 60, onetime automobile speed king, still the world's fastest speedboat racer (141.74 m.p.h.); and Betty Humphery Nickory, 38, blonde British yachting enthusiast; both for the second time; in London.

Divorced. Mervyn LeRoy, 44, M.G.M.'s short, cigar-smoking producer-director (Little Caesar, Anthony Adverse, Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo); by Doris Warner LeRoy, 33, eldest daughter of Harry M. Warner of Hollywood's three Warner Bros.; after seven years of marriage, two children; in Reno.

Died. Leo Borchard, 53, Russian-born conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, who fell from Nazi favor in 1937 when he refused to conduct the Nazi anthem, Horst Wessel, then was high in Allied favor after the fall of Berlin; shot by U.S. sentries when the British staff car in which he was riding failed to stop at their command, 35 minutes past curfew; in Berlin.

Died. Franz Werfel, 54, plump, pious Czech best-selling author of over 38 books (The Forty Days of Musa Dagh, Embezzled Heaven, The Song of Bernadette and the yet-unpublished Star of the Unborn), playwright (Jacobowsky and the Colonel), refugee U.S. resident since 1940; of a heart ailment; in Hollywood. Werfel, whose Forty Days was burned by the Nazis, fled Vienna and Paris two jumps ahead of Hitler's hordes, took refuge in Lourdes, France, where he heard of the vision of the little French Catholic girl, Bernadette Soubirous, and vowed to sing "her song" if he ever escaped. It became his biggest hit, as a movie won five Academy Awards.

Died. Vice Admiral Willis Augustus ("Ching") Lee Jr., 57, Commander Battleships Pacific, who helped save the Guadalcanal invasion in 1942 by running his battleships past the P-T-boat advance guard ("This is Ching Lee. Get out of the way; I'm coming through," he radioed) to do battle with the Jap fleet (score: one enemy battleship and three cruisers sunk); of a heart attack; aboard a small boat carrying him to his flagship Wyoming; in Casco Bay, Me., where he was engaged in a special top-secret assignment.

Died. Sir Ronald Lindsay, 68, moose-tall (6 ft. 3 in.) aloof British Ambassador to the U.S. (1930-1939); of coronary thrombosis; in Bournemouth, England. Forced to call his first press conference when a frustrated U.S. press demanded more news about the impending 1939 visit of the King & Queen, Sir Ronald patiently bore flashbulbs and impertinent questions, disarmed newsmen by saying, "I don't pretend to enjoy this, but shan't we have another?"
