Married. Corrine Huff, 28, onetime beauty queen and former secretary and No. 1 companion to high-living Congressman Adam Clayton Powell; and Patrick Brown, 25, until recently Powell's Bimini-based fishing-boat captain; both for the first time; in an Anglican ceremony; in Bimini, the Bahamas.

Died. Abdirashid AH Shermarke, 49, President of Somalia (see THE WORLD).

Died. Rudolf Freund, 54, wildlife artist whose meticulously detailed illustrations appeared in books and magazines and graced LIFE'S nature articles for two decades; of a stroke; in Collegeville, Pa. Beginning with LIFE in the late '40s, Freund was noted for his studies of insects and for his re-creations of extinct animal species. Many volumes of the LIFE Nature Library contain his illustrations.

Died. Sonja Henie, 57, Norwegian-born queen of the ice revues in the 1930s and '40s; of leukemia; in an ambulance plane between Paris and Oslo. The chubby, bedimpled daughter of a prosperous Oslo fur wholesaler, Sonja captured Norway's figure skating championship by the time she was ten. In 1927 she won the first of her ten consecutive world titles and the following year earned the first of three successive Olympic crowns. As astute in business as she was graceful on skates, she turned professional in 1936, made eleven movies (One in a Million, Thin Ice, Sun Valley Serenade), which grossed $25 million, and produced more than a dozen spectacular ice shows before retiring in 1956.

Died. Father Damien Boulogne, 58, the Dominican priest who lived 523 days with a transplanted heart, a record second only to that of South Africa's Dr. Philip Blaiberg, who survived for 594 days; of as yet undetermined causes; in Paris. On May 12, 1968, Boulogne received the heart of a 39-year-old Paris customs officer, and within a few months had resumed a more or less normal life, working on a book and regularly celebrating Mass. His death came as a complete surprise to Jiis doctor, Charles Dubost, who was away lecturing at a Mexican university.

Died. Rod La Rocque, 70, movie matinee idol of the '20s and '30s, who rose to stardom in such silent swashbucklers as Captain Swagger and The Love Pirates, married the Hungarian heartthrob Vilma Banky in one of the film colony's splashiest weddings in 1927, and in defiance of all Hollywood tradition remained married to her forever after; of a heart attack; in Beverly Hills.
