By the AEC.

Marriage Revealed. Admiral Hyman G. Rickover, 73, caustic nonconformist who directed the development of the Navy's first atomic-powered submarines and who was largely responsible for the building of the first civilian nuclear power plant; and Commander Eleonor A. Bednowicz, 43, a Navy nurse who met Rickover several months ago when he was a patient for a respiratory ailment at the Bethesda Naval Hospital; he for the second time, she for the first; on Jan. 19; near Chicago.

Died. Eli Goldston, 53, chairman and chief executive officer of the Boston-based Eastern Gas & Fuel Associates; of an apparent heart attack; in Cambridge, Mass. A lawyer and leading proponent of corporate social responsibility, Goldston reshaped Eastern from a vertically integrated gas-from-coal operation into a diversified energy and transportation company and invested large sums in urban renewal and health plans. One of his favorite propositions was that corporation officers should take sabbaticals --which he did for six months in 1972.

Died. Richardson Dilworth, 75, two-time Democratic mayor of Philadelphia from 1955-62; of a malignant brain tumor; in Philadelphia. A brilliant lawyer who served in the Marine Corps in World Wars I and II, Dilworth mounted vitriolic attacks against Republicans who had controlled and corrupted city hall since 1884; sued four times for libel, he won every case, and helped Co-Reformer Joseph Clark win the mayoralty in 1951 before being elected himself in 1954. Named by FORTUNE one of the nine best mayors in America, Dilworth was unsuccessful in two attempts to become Governor. But as president of Philadelphia's board of education, he played a key role in integrating his city's school system.

Died. Lewis Lichtenstein Strauss, 77, chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission from 1953-58; of cancer; in Brandy Station, Va. A banker and naval-reserve officer who became right-hand man to James V. Forrestal, a Secretary of the Navy under Franklin D. Roosevelt, Strauss was appointed to the AEC in 1946. During a dispute in the scientific community, Strauss backed the development of the hydrogen bomb when it was opposed by J. Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the Abomb. Strauss prevailed, and in dramatic loyalty hearings in 1954, Oppenheimer lost his security clearance. When President Eisenhower nominated Strauss to be Secretary of Commerce in 1959, the Senate voted 49-46 against his confirmation largely because of a politically controversial contract, negotiated during his chairmanship, for privately financed electricity to be used by the AEC.
