Married. Alan Lomax, 46, world-traveling expert on folk music; and Antoinette Marchand, 26, recent University of Buffalo graduate student; both for the second time; in Wellfleet, Mass.

Married. Lucy Monroe, 49, whose lyric soprano rendition of The Star-Spangled Banner has opened thousands of civic whingdings (World Series ball games, national political conventions, etc.); and Harold Marc Weinberg, 51, Manhattan attorney; both for the first time; in Manhattan.

Died. Eero Saarinen, 51, bold shaper of modern architecture; of a brain tumor; in Ann Arbor, Mich, (see ART).

Died. William Marshall Boyle Jr., 59, astute alumnus of Boss Pendergast's Kansas City school of ward-heeling, machine-tooled politics who as a youth attached himself to County Judge Harry S. Truman, followed him to Washington as a member of his Senate staff, masterminded Truman's upset victory in the 1948 presidential campaign, the following year became chairman of the Democratic National Committee only to resign in 1951 after a Senate investigation grudgingly absolved him of direct personal involvement in influence peddling; in his sleep; in Washington. During the 1948 campaign, Boyle conceived both Truman's vote-winning whistle-stop strategy and the concentration on Ohio and Illinois that carried the pivotal and previously written-off Midwest, was one of a handful of Democratic politicos who not only said but genuinely believed that Truman would win.

Died. Captain May Williams, 70, a 48-year veteran of the Salvation Army, whose dismay when her son Ted took to playing Sunday baseball for a brewery gave way to pride after he became the peerless slugger of the Boston Red Sox ("The reason he is so good is that God cooperates"); of a stroke; in a Santa Barbara, Calif., nursing home.

Died. William Zebulon Foster, 80, mild-mannered, iron-willed chairman of the U.S. Communist Party from 1932 to 1957; following a series of strokes; in Moscow, where he had been under treatment since January. A Massachusetts-born Irishman whose outstanding talent _was for survival, Foster went to work in a stonecutter's shop at ten, became a Socialist at 19, proved himself as an organizer by leading a bitter 1919 strike of more than 365,000 A.F. of L. steelworkers. Joining the Communist Party two years later, he was three times its candi date for President (his best showing: 102,881 votes in 1932), helped stage the 1945 purge of Earl Browder, in 1948 was indicted along with eleven other U.S. Communist leaders under the Smith Act, but escaped trial because of failing health.

Died. Charles Coburn, 84, jolly, jowly fixture of the U.S. stage and screen; of a heart attack; in Manhattan. Georgia-born, Coburn started peddling theater programs at 13, spent most of the first 38 years of his theatrical career playing opposite his first wife, Ivah Wills, in their own stage productions on Broadway, college campuses, and, in 1910, the White House lawn. Turning to Hollywood only after Miss Wills's death in 1937, Coburn made his movie debut at 60, won his Oscar for a supporting role in The More the Merrier at 66, and in 1959 married a widow 41 years his junior, remarking "I've burned the candle at both ends, but the darn thing keeps right on burning.''
