Married. Maria del Rosario Cayetana, Duchess of Montoro, 21, dark-haired daughter of the Duke of Alba, enormously wealthy ex-Ambassador to Britain and one of the world's most formidably titled men --six times a duke, 18 times a count, twelve times a marquess, 15 times a grandee of Spain; and Luis Martinez Irujo y Artazcoz, 26, fourth son of the Duke of Sotomayor; in Seville.

Married. Kathleen Harriman, 29, pretty daughter of Secretary of Commerce W. Averell Harriman; and Stanley Grafton Mortimer Jr., 34, Manhattan socialite; she for the first time, he for the second; in Arden, N.Y. Mortimer's first wife, Barbara Gushing, divorced him last year, married CBS Board Chairman William Paley last July.

Died. Joseph Arthur Padway, 56, general counsel of the A.F.L.; of a cerebral hemorrhage, after he collapsed while orating against the Taft-Hartley Act at the annual A.F.L. convention; in San Francisco.

Died. Samuel Hoffenstein, 57, master writer of satiric light verse (Poems in Praise of Practically Nothing); of a heart attack; in Los Angeles. A wry-writing favorite of Manhattan's wry-minded literary set in the late '20s, Hoffenstein (who had written, I'd rather listen to a flute in Gotham, than a band in Butte) disappeared into Hollywood as a scenario writer, later explained: "In the movies we writers work our brains to the bone, and what do we get for it? A lousy fortune."

Died. Baron Henri de Rothschild, 75. French financier, physician, philanthropist and viniculturist; of a heart ailment; near Lausanne, Switzerland. Probably the most noteworthy of the Rothschilds, Baron Henri won respect for his work on infants' diseases, on milk as a food, and on the radium treatment of cancer (he set up the famed Pierre Curie Institute for radium research). He also found time to write plays for the Paris stage.

Died. Sidney Webb, Lord Passfield, 88, British economist, pioneer Fabian socialist, onetime Colonial Secretary (1929-31); in Liphook, England. He invented the most uninspiring political slogan of an era--"inevitability of gradualness"--and gave it to the Fabian Society, the gleam-in-the-eye which fathered the British Labor Party. His late wife Beatrice was coauthor with her husband of dozens of dogged, thorough, worthy, dull books and pamphlets. Their crowning work was the 1,174-page Soviet Communism: a New Civilization, which was the most detailed study of the Soviet Government in English, and which completely missed the point. The-bright-eyed old Webbs in 1935 found that the Soviet Union was "the very opposite of a dictatorship."
