Born. To Ensign Roger Staubach, 24, Navy's All-America quarterback of the early 1960s and 1963 Heisman trophy winner (TIME cover, Oct. 18, 1963), and Marianne Staubach, 24: their first child, a girl; in Athens, Ga., where Rog just finished naval-supply school prior to being shipped to Viet Nam.

Divorced. Philip Crosby, 32, one of Bing's much-married offspring (seven brides for four brothers); by Mary Joyce Crosby, 26, his second wife, who is expecting their second child; on grounds of cruelty; in Los Angeles.

Died. Chuck Thompson, 54, ace speedboat racer who, in 30 years of piloting everything from outboards to 200-m.p.h., unlimited-class hydroplanes, had copped just about every prize in the sport except the biggest--the Detroit Gold Cup; of a crushed chest following the disintegration of his hydroplane while jockeying for position at 160 m.p.h. in the 58th Gold Cup race on the Detroit River, thus becoming the fourth hydroplaner to die in competition in two weeks.

Died. Raymond Milliard, 58, welfare administrator who held the old-fashioned belief that the able-bodied should work for their relief checks, finding them employment as gas-station attendants, bus boys and such, an idea he practiced first as head of New York City's relief program from 1948 to 1951, and for the past .twelve years as public-aid chief in Chicago, where he also pioneered a much-admired adult learning program to make illiterates employable, a project that helped take 39,000 people off relief rolls in three years; of a heart attack; in Chicago.

Died. Deems Taylor, 80, music critic and composer who tried his hand at everything from chorales and concertos to musical comedy and movie scores; of pneumonia; in Manhattan. Taylor the composer was subsidized by Taylor the newspaper critic, radio commentator and author (Of Men and Music) who forever delighted readers with his breezy, irreverent approach to the art. "The test of music," he once said, "is not the mathematics behind it, but how it sounds"--a test he applied to himself in some 50 highly popular works, most notably two romantic operas, The King's Henchman (1927) and Peter Ibbetson (1931), both performed by the Metropolitan and widely acclaimed as the first genuine U.S. contribution to the form.
