Died. George W. Mason, 63, president and board chairman of American Motors (Nash, Hudson): of acute pancreatitis and pneumonia; in Detroit. Tireless Carmaker Mason became president of the Kelvinator Corp. when he was 38, engineered the 1936 merger with Nash and consolidation with Hudson early this year (TIME, Jan. 25). At the time of his death, he was dickering with Studebaker-Packard for another merger that would have resulted in the world's second largest auto firm (behind General Motors...
...strained a few laughs out of a routine boy-and-girl-in-Manhattan situation, but, in his second season, there was still not enough of the famed Bolger dancing shoes.

Married. Sally Rand, 52, tireless fan-dancer; and Fred Lalla, 35, former Los Angeles plaster contractor; she for the third time, he for the second; in Las Vegas, Nev. One hour after the ceremony, she discarded her wedding dress and stood coyly nude on the stage of Las Vegas' Silver Slipper Saloon...
