Monday, Jun. 03, 1974
Married. Huntington Hartford, 63, A. & P. heir and professional celebrity who has sunk millions into art and publishing; and blonde Elaine Kay, 21, a former Fort Lauderdale, Fla., hairdresser; he for the fourth time, she for the first; at Hartford's Manhattan home.
Died. Tyree Glenn, 61, veteran jazz musician equally proficient on trombone and vibraphone; after a brief illness; in Englewood, N.J. A mainstay of Louis Armstrong's All-Stars, Glenn also played with such men as Duke Ellington, Lionel Hampton and Benny Carter. His distinctive trombone style was once described as being "like a great blues singer, like Bill Broonzy in brass."
Died. Daniel Reid (Dan) Topping Sr., 61, heir to tin-plate millions and an owner of the New York Yankees for 21 years; of emphysema; in Miami. A topflight amateur golfer in his 20s, Topping bought a piece of the Yankees in 1945, became co-owner and president two years later. He caused major rhubarbs by firing two pillars of the Yankee dynasty, Managers Casey Stengel and Yogi Berra, but won 14 American League pennants before quitting the front office in 1966. Sleek, perennially tanned, Topping was married six times (to Actress Arline Judge and Skater Sonja Henie, among others), divorced five.
Died. Jean Cardinal Danielou, 69, eminent French Jesuit theologian; of a heart attack; in Paris. Son of a radical Socialist Cabinet minister, Danielou entered the Society of Jesus in 1929 and became known as a dynamic liberal Catholic intellectual. As a peritus, or theological adviser, to Vatican Council II in the mid-1960s, he was considered a moderate voice in church affairs; by decade's end he was a cardinal and an outspoken champion of papal authority. He came to deplore the "false concept of liberty" that he said resulted from a misconception of the council. In 1970, after the Dutch hierarchy had announced its opposition to mandatory priestly celibacy, Danielou branded the action a direct attack on the Pope himself. Elected to the French Academy last year, he was the moving spirit behind a letter of "fidelity and obedience" that was signed by 100,000 Frenchmen and sent to the Pope.
Died. Alan Dunn, 73, who twitted life's little absurdities in nearly 2,000 New Yorker magazine cartoons over 47 years; in Manhattan. A self-styled recluse, he was dubbed by The New Yorker's waggish editor, Harold Ross, a "hermit around town."
Died. Edward Kennedy ("Duke") Ellington, 75, colossus of jazz for half a century (see Music).
