Milestones: Feb. 1, 1963

Married. Edward Fowles, 77, longtime head of Manhattan’s aristocratic Duveen art gallery; and Jean Douglas, 62, mother-in-law of Author J. D. Salinger; both for the second time; in Manhattan.

Died. Mohammed Ali, 53, Pakistan’s Foreign Minister, onetime Prime Minister (1953-55) and former Ambassador to the U.S., a convivial son of a rich Bengal landowner and one of his nation’s most progressive politicians, a firm friend of the West who once confided that his “life’s ambition” was to retire to Florida and open a curry restaurant; of a heart attack; in Dacca.

Died. John Siguard (“Ole”) Olsen, 70, deadpan half of that durable comic duo, Olsen and Johnson, and the shrewd box-office mind who made their vaudeville epic, Hellzapoppin, play and pay for many years; of a heart attack; in Albuquerque.

Died. William Cardinal Godfrey, 73, Archbishop of Westminster and leader since 1958 of the 5,000,000 Roman Catholics in England and Wales, a Liverpool trucker’s son known for his vigorously sharp attacks on what he considered Britain’s declining morality and a bitter foe of those “disciples of despair” who advocate artificial birth control; of a heart attack; in London.

Died. Lee Oscar Lawrie, 85, German-born U.S. sculptor best known for his huge bronze Atlas in Manhattan’s Rockefeller Center, which supports only a skeletal globe because the Rockefellers feared that a solid sphere would darken the nearby window fronts; of cancer; in Easton, Md. Among his other massive works: sculptures ornamenting the Bok “Singing Tower” at Lake Wales, Fla., the U.S. battle monument at Saint-James Manche, France, and the 8½-ton statue of a muscle-bound grain sower that stands atop Nebraska’s state capitol.

Died. Otto Harbach, 89, courtly dean of U.S. librettists, who authored more than 1,000 songs for Broadway musicals; after a long illness; in Manhattan. As a student at Knox College, Ill., his way with words once made William Jennings Bryan weep, and as a successful Manhattan adman he coined such slogans as “Built, Not Stuffed” for Ostermoor mattresses. Tin Pan Alley did not hear his first song until he was in his mid-30s, but then in 1908 he wrote “Cuddle Up a Little Closer, Lovey Mine,” and during the next 30 years teamed up with Vincent Youmans, Sigmund Romberg, Jerome Kern and Rudolf Friml. Among his hits: “One Alone,” Roberta’s “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes.” and Rose Marie’s “Indian Love Call”:

When I’m calling you—oo oo—oo-oo-oo!

Will you answer too—oo oo—oo-oo-oo?
