Milestones, Dec. 17, 1945 | TIME

Married. Carole Landis, 26, chesty, under-chinned cinemactress; and Horace Schmidlapp, 30, freshman Broadway producer (Polonaise); she for the fifth time (twice to No. 1), he for the first; in Manhattan.

Married. Burl Icle Ivanhoe Ives, 36, large (270 Ibs.) as life and twice as natural folksinger (Blue-Tail Fly, Foggy, Foggy Dew); and Helen Ehrlich, 29, his onetime radio scripter; he for the first time, she for the second; in Chicago.

Died. Rear Admiral Albert Borland Randall, U.S.N.R., 66, ex-captain of the Leviathan, the Manhattan, and famed for rescues at sea; in Bethesda, Md. In 1939, after 40 years as a mariner, he retired. But not for long. War made him commandant of the U.S. Maritime Service.

Died. Dr. Thomas Hunt Morgan, 79, shy, Nobel Prizewinning (1933) geneticist whose studies of the quick-breeding fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) culminated in an epochal hypothesis: the existence of genes — submicroscopic determinants of heredity; in Pasadena.

Died. Antoinette Carter Hughes, 81, publicity-shunning wife of retired U.S. Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes, great outdoors woman arid onetime mountain climber; in Washington.

Died. The Most Rev. and Rt. Hon. Cosmo Gordon Lang, 81, retired (in 1942) Archbishop of Canterbury, who helped raise the wind that blew Edward VIII from his throne ; in Richmond, England.

A Scottish Presbyterian minister’s son who became Archbishop of York at 44, of Canterbury at 64, he was a handsome, worldlywise, rosy-cheeked bachelor. During his Primacy he advocated interdenominational unity, a soft answer on remarriage after divorce — but not in the Simpson affair, of which he said: “. . . strange and sad it is that he [Edward] should have sought his happiness in a manner inconsistent with Christian principles of marriage. . . .”

Died. Julia Elizabeth Westfall Wolfe, 85, mother of the late, prodigious Novelist Thomas Wolfe (Look Homeward, Angel ; Of Time and the River) ; of a heart attack; in Manhattan, after a gadabout week as Tom’s literary executor (one morning she stayed up till three autographing books — TIME, Dec. 10). Driving, dominating, possessive, she was the home to ward which her angel looked. Said he: “All the critics in the world may say it’s good but a man’s own mother will know.”

Died. William Phelps Eno, 87, inventor of the one-way street, the rotary system, the safety island; in Norwalk, Conn.
