Milestones: Jan. 6, 1967

Born. To Barbra Streisand, 24, and Elliott Gould, 28, her actor husband with whom she appeared in 1962's I Can Get It for You Wholesale before she became everybody's Funny Girl: their first child, a boy; in Manhattan.

Married. Robert G. Wesselman, 38, former Roman Catholic monsignor and official of the diocese of Belleville, Ill., who resigned from the priesthood last Oct. 24; and Frances Burton, 36, divorced mother of two; in Hardin, Ill., on Nov. 18. Wesselman, who intends to take a job in an antipoverty program, said he had resigned because the church had failed "to sufficiently identify with those who suffer from prejudice."

Married. Hal Holbrook, 41, the virtuoso one-man show in Off-Broadway's long-running (174 performances) Mark Twain Tonight!; and Carol Rossen, 28, aspiring actress, daughter of Hollywood's late Producer-Director Robert Rossen (The Hustler); he for the second time; in Manhattan.

Died. Virgilia Peterson, 62, critic and author whose gentle book reviews and coolly poised performance as moderator of the TV panel The Author Meets the Critics belied the fierce passion in her autobiography, A Matter of Life and Death, a startlingly candid account of her hatreds and loves, notably 17 years with the second of her three husbands, Polish Prince Paul Sapieha; of a heart attack; in Sharon, Conn.

Died. Heimito von Doderer, 70, Austria's most formidable novelist, whose widely praised The Demons, a 1,334-page epic 25 years in the writing of Vienna's whipped-cream and coffee-house society in the late 1920s, introduced him to the English-speaking world in 1961, after which two more (Every Man a Murderer, The Waterfalls of Slunj) of his many novels were translated into English, but neither so successfully; following abdominal surgery; in Vienna.

Died. Gardner Rea, 74, cartoonist and contributor to The New Yorker since its founding in 1925, esteemed both for his squiggly line drawings ("Nobody will catch on when I get senile," he once said) and for his sharp gag lines, which often formed the bases of cartoons by his colleagues Charles Addams and Helen Hokinson; of a heart attack; in Brookhaven, L.I.

Died. Bela Fabian, 77, Hungarian patriot, a leader of Budapest's Jewish community and prewar member of Parliament who survived Auschwitz and then emigrated in 1948 to the U.S., where he spent his years staging bitter protests against the Communists, particularly during the 1956 Hungarian uprising and during Nikita Khrushchev's 1960 U.S. visit, when he led 2,000 marchers with placards reading: "Murderers belong in Sing Sing"; of a heart attack; in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Died. Henry F. Schricker, 83, Indiana Democratic politician, the only man to serve two terms (1941-45 and 1949-53) as his state's Governor, the genial backslapping son of an immigrant Bavarian storekeeper who was known as "the man who never made anyone mad," nevertheless had enough iron to clean up his state's inefficient tax-collection and welfare systems; of a heart attack; in Knox, Ind.
