"Names make news." Last week these names made this news:

New York's Governor Herbert H. Lehman who had sworn a New Year's resolution to give up big black cigars, took them up again, felt "swell."

In London a tailor sued Valentine Edward Charles Browne. Viscount Castlerosse, beefy director of London newspapers, for -L-75 ($260) for two dinner suits of blue herringbone and blue tropical hopsack, two extra pairs of trousers and six white waistcoats, ordered for wear on his 1932 U. S. visit. Defense: misfit ("only fit for . . . the Zoo"). To the tailor's testimony that his shape was hard to fit and he could not stand still, Lord Castlerosse replied: "I have been in the Guards and I am told I am an expert at standing still." An expert witness called the coats bad at the shoulders, very good across the back, the waistcoats not bad and Castlerosse "not an unreasonable man-- but he has funny sartorial ideas of his own. He wants everything to be different from everybody else." The judge awarded the tailor -L-22 ($76) for the waistcoats.

General Motors men were overjoyed when, at a ceremonious Manhattan pre-showing of their stylish new Frigidaire (icebox) which "costs no more to run than one ordinary electric light bulb," Albert Einstein, on his way to Switzerland (instead of anti-Jew Germany) for the summer, got down on hands & knees to inspect the machine thoroughly, called it a "marvel," said it would be welcome in Europe where electricity is far dearer than in the U. S.

Lawson Robertson, track coach of the University of Pennsylvania and 1932 U. S. Olympic teams, stopped his car in a Philadelphia suburb to help a little man who lay groaning in the road where he had been thrown from the running board of a car hit by another. Bending over, Robertson saw that the man was William Arthur Carr, the greatest trackman Robertson had ever trained, who last year broke the world's record for the 400-meter run in the Olympics when he ran Benjamin Bangs Eastman into the ground (TIME, Aug. 15). Coach Robertson lifted Carr in his arms, carried him to his own car, drove him to a hospital. Doctors found Carr's pelvis and both ankles fractured, his track career finished.

In Evanston, Ill., when the last of five extortion letters directed Mrs. James A. Patten, 75, relict of Chicago's wheat tycoon, to walk at night down the street with $50,000, a policewoman set out from the Patten house at the specified time disguised as Mrs. Patten, carrying a dummy packet and a revolver. Detectives caught one Axel Peterson, 52, onetime well-to-do landscape gardener employed by Charles Gates Dawes, Chicago Utilitarian Rufus Cutler Dawes and Northwestern University.

Ill lay: Virginia's Senator Glass, Utah's King, Illinois' Lewis, Colorado's Costigan, and Mrs. John D. Rockefeller Jr., all with colds, the Senators in Washington, Mrs. Rockefeller in, Ormond Beach, Fla.; Pennsylvania's Senator Davis and Lady Louis Mountbatten, after appendicitis operations, in Pittsburgh and Paris; General Pershing, of a throat infection, in Tucson, Ariz.; Francis Cardinal Bourne, Archbishop of Westminster, and Helen ("Boop-oop-a-doop") Kane Hoffman, of influenza in Saint Leonards, England, and Hamilton, Bermuda; Prizefighter Primo Camera and onetime English Ambassador to the U. S. Sir Auckland Campbell Geddes, of injuries received in automobile accidents, in Bologna, Italy, and Kent, England.

Sequels

To news of bygone weeks, herewith sequels from last week's news: P:To the secular indictment of Rev. G. Lemuel Conway, 55, Methodist Episcopal minister of Muncie, Ind., for attempted rape of 18-year-old Helen Huffman (TIME, Feb. 6) : a church trial, with a jury of twelve ministers presided over by Bishop Edgar Blake of Detroit. Preacher Conway was found guilty of "imprudent ministerial conduct," suspended for one year--a penalty which churchmen considered light.

P: To Charles Edwin Mitchell's testimony before the U. S. Senate's committee investigating stockmarket operations and his forced resignation as board chairman jf Manhattan's National City bank (TIME, March 6); a Federal subpoena for his bank records for grand jury investigation of income tax evasion by him.

P: To Janet Allen Walker's divorce suit against New York's onetime Mayor James John ("Jimmy") Walker (TIME, March 20): general denial of the "wilful desertion" charge, by Walker's Miami (Fla.) lawyer.
