Divorced. Ernest Borgnine, 45, gap-toothed, Oscar-winning cinemactor (Marty); by Katy Jurado, 39, tabasco-tempered Mexican cinemactress (High Noon); on grounds of cruelty; after 31 years of marriage; in Los Angeles.

Died. Edgar Clyde ("Skinnay") Ennis Jr., 55, popular bandleader of the jive-and-jump era, a product of Hal Kemp's offbeat collegiate jazz band at the University of North Carolina in the 1920s (other students: Kay Kyser, John Scott Trotter), who became the big noise nationwide on Bob Hope's radio shows of the 1940s; from choking on a piece of roast beef; in Beverly Hills.

Died. ZaSu Pitts, 63, Hollywood's flibbertigibbet comedienne, a Kansas girl who was a rising tragedienne until the talkies came along and no one could take her quavering, squeaky voice seriously, then adroitly turned to hilarious roles, from the whimpering Western maid in Ruggles of Red Gap to the befuddled switchboard operator of the forthcoming It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World; of cancer; in Hollywood.

Died. .William Alfred Foyle, 78, founder in 1904 (with Brother Gilbert) of W. & G. Foyle, Ltd., world's largest bookstore with 4,000,000 volumes stashed in seven London buildings, a flamboyant cockney who once shocked bibliophiles by selling his wares at tuppence per pound, another time offered to buy the books Adolf Hitler was burning (no reply), and subsequently got his own revenge by using copies of Mein Kampf to protect his roofs during the blitz; of a stroke; in Essex, England.

Died. Lieut. General Sir Adrian Carton de Wiart, 83, one of Britain's best-known soldiers, the proud possessor of eleven battle wounds and many more decorations for valor, a lanky Oxonian who lost his left eye battling dervishes in Somaliland, and his left hand during a grenade charge at Ypres in 1915, and became Churchill's military envoy to Chiang Kai-shek in World War II; in Killinardrish, Ireland.

Died. William O. Jenkins, 85, a little-known Tennessee-born gringo who quietly amassed a fortune upwards of $250 million in 62 years of fast dealing in Mexico; of a heart attack; in Puebla, Mexico. Traveling south in 1901 to start as a 500-a-day mechanic, Jenkins became a U.S. consular agent in Puebla, was kidnaped by bandits in 1920, and that proved to be his break; somehow he got his hands on part of the $25,000 ransom (at least the Mexican government, which paid the money, accused him of it), suddenly blossomed into a Prohibition bootlegger, then into textiles, cement, finance, soap, and a monopoly of movie houses.
