Monday, Jan. 25, 1960

Married. Antenor Patino, 65, Bolivian tin tycoon, one of the world's richest men, who chased (1954) his daughter to Edinburgh, spread money at all levels, from cab drivers to lawyers, in a celebrated but futile effort to prevent her marrying Londoner Michael Goldsmith; and Italian Countess Beatriz di Rovasenda, 47; both for the second time; in London.

Divorced. By James Howard ("Dutch") Kindelberger, 64, board chairman of North American Aviation, Inc.: his second wife, Helen Louise Kindelberger, 39; after 13 years of marriage, no children; in Santa Monica, Calif.

Died. J. Scott Smart, 57, radio actor and mimic who capitalized on his physique (270 Ibs. at his prime) to portray Dashiell Hammett's urbane gumshoe The Fat Man from 1946-52, with his gruff voice convinced listeners he meant it when he snarled "murder," as on other radio shows he convinced them when he squawked like an ostrich, croaked like a bullfrog, orated like Huey Long; of cancer; in Springfield, Ill.

Died. George Walbridge Perkins, 64, longtime (1927-48) executive of Merck & Co., Inc., who as Assistant Secretary of State for European Affairs (1949-53) successfully urged Congress in 1950 to grant financial aid to an isolated, Stalin-defying Tito; of a heart attack; in Manhattan.

Died. Dr. Edward Weiss, 64, one of the first practitioners of psychosomatic medicine, who concluded (Psychosomatic Medicine; Don't Worry About Your Heart) that one-third of all disease is induced, one-third aggravated, by emotional stress; of a heart attack; in Philadelphia.

Died. Charles Manuel ("Daddy") Grace, 78, Portuguese-born Negro evangelist who whipped the adoring members of his House of Prayer for All People to a frenzy by a flow of incomprehensible oratory, a toss of his richly curled tresses, a wave of his 5-in.-long fingernails painted red, white and blue; collected enough money by the ritual of sitting in the "money well" or forming the "Sweet Daddy Grace Line" to afford a coffee plantation in Brazil, a chicken farm in Cuba, a cosmetic outfit that sells Daddy Grace Cold Cream ; exuded so much love of a sort that he barely escaped conviction for income tax evasion and violation of the Mann Act; of a heart attack; in Los Angeles.

Died. Bonno Elkan, 82, popular Jewish sculptor in pre-Hitler Germany, who fled to London in 1933, taking with him a 7-ft. by 6-ft. candelabrum whose gracefully weaving branches support a group of Biblical characters, a piece that eventually won him acclaim in England and the chance to do powerful busts of such notables as Arturo Toscanini and Winston Churchill; in London.
