Born. To Anthony Quinn, 49, swarthy cinemactor last seen as the swaggering Arab chieftain in Lawrence of Arabia, and Jolanda Addolori, 29, blonde, blue-blooded Venetian fashion designer: their second child, second son; in Rome. Quinn remains officially married to the former Katherine de Mille (adopted daughter of the late Cecil B.), mother of his first four children.

Married. Chubby Checker, 22, Negro rock 'n' roller who started the ball writhing a couple of years ago when he made the twist the dance of the hour; and Catherina Lodders, 21, devastating (37-23-37) Dutch model, Miss World of 1962; in a ceremony performed by the white pastor of the Temple Lutheran Church of Merchantville, NJ. The surprise guest turned out to be Chubby's mother, Mrs. Eartie Evans, who had opposed the interracial marriage at first but finally came round, deciding "if I couldn't beat them, I'd join them."

Divorced. Sammy Cahn, 50, kingpin Hollywood lyricist, author of more than a thousand songs (Three Coins in the Fountain, Love and Marriage), who last week picked up his fourth Academy Award for Call Me Irresponsible, sung by Jackie Gleason in Papa's Delicate Condition; by Gloria Delson Cahn, 37, onetime Goldwyn girl; on grounds of mental cruelty (she said he left her alone at parties); after 18 years of marriage, two children; in Los Angeles.

Died. Rachel Carson, 56, biologist and author; of cancer of the bone; in Silver Spring, Md. (see SCIENCE).

Died. Ben Hecht, 70, playwright and screenwriter, a onetime Chicago newsman who, with the late Charles MacArthur, immortalized the seedy Galahads of Cook County pressrooms with his rowdy 1928 valentine, The Front Page, thereafter indulged his bent for vinegarish sentiment in maudlin novels and Zionist pamphleteering, but plied a true trade as one of Hollywood's most highly paid ($5,000 a week, even in the 1930s) and accomplished script doctors, turning out dozens of literate originals, such as The Scoundrel (also with MacArthur) and Crime Without Passion, adaptations ranging from Wuthering Heights to A Farewell to Arms; of a heart attack; in Manhattan.

Died. Nathaniel Peffer, 74, longtime (1938-58) Columbia University professor and author of many books on the Far East (China: The Collapse of a Civilization), a onetime Shanghai correspondent who by early 1948 concluded that the Chinese Communists were genuine Marxists and not merely "agrarian reformers," warned that only active U.S. intervention could save the Kuomintang, but still held out hope that the Chinese Reds would in the long run refuse to be merely "a tail to the Russian kite"; of a heart attack; in White Plains, N.Y.

Died. Robert Hosmer Morse, 85, longtime (1931-57) president and chairman of Chicago's Fairbanks, Morse & Co., son of a founder, who took over the wheezing industrial pump and scale maker when it was facing a $5,000,000 deficit in the Depression, within two years balanced the books and expanded profitably into locomotives and marine diesel engines, but failed to keep pace after the war until in 1958, faced with a proxy fight, he sold control of the firm to Corporate Raider Alfons Landa for $9,600,000; of a heart attack; in Palm Beach, Fla.

Died. Thomas Joseph O'Brien, 85, oldest U.S. Congressman, senior member of Illinois' Democratic delegation, who went to Washington in 1933, remained silent on the floor, unknown to the public and press, but was nevertheless breathlessly catered to by every top Democrat on Capitol Hill for his command of the nine-man Chicago bloc; of a stroke; in Bethesda, Md.
