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

A Federal Grand Jury indicted Otis Perry Seligman, cashier of the First National Bank of Santa Fe, N. Mex.. for an alleged shortage of $25,941 in his accounts. Said his father. Governor Arthur Seligman, president of the bank, after making good the shortage: "He will have to take his medicine."

Customs officers at Chicago found liquor worth $2,500 aboard Kenkora II, black-hulled yacht owned by jolly Kenneth G. Smith, president of Pepsodent Co.. when it returned from a cruise in Canadian waters. Said Mr. Smith: "It was for medicinal purposes. . . . I didn't know, however, there was so much medicine aboard."

In Who's Who in America for 1932-33, just published, Lawyer Samuel Untermyer regains the distinction of having the longest biography in the book, 102 lines. He was outranked in 1930-31 by the late Dr. William Eleazar Barton (108 lines), and by Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler (105 lines). Dr. Butler has edited his paragraph to 94 lines.

Hilda Aberg, pretty, red-headed Manhattan housekeeper for the late rascally Ivar Kreuger, was sued for $250,000 by the wife of a Capt. Hugo Sundstedt, airman, for alienating his affections "by promises of money and otherwise." Kreuger creditors pricked their ears. Mrs. Aberg indignantly denied all, said she had worked for Kreuger at $125 per month, received no gift or bequests from him.

A passerby on the Boston Yacht Club pier at Marblehead, Mass, saw a man hanging head-down from the deck of a moored sailboat, his head & shoulders under water, his feet tangled in rigging, his body wedged between boat and pier. At a hospital, where he was given a fighting chance to live, the man was discovered to be Charles Brandon Booth. 40, a regional director of the Big Brother & Big Sister Federation, son of General Ballington Booth of the Volunteers of America.

To raise funds for a new trial, Rev, Harold Davidson, the white-haired, ill-famed Rector of Stiffkey, England, who was deposed for improper conduct with girls he was "rescuing" (TIME, July 18), last week put himself on display in a barrel on the seaside promenade of Blackpool, next to a girl fasting in a barrel. Crowds flocked to see. Explained he: "I am not going to fast. But I shall be here from 10 a. m. to midnight. While I am in the barrel, I shall be occupied with preparing my case. I want 200 pounds sterling for a special defense fund. Every fiber in my being revolts against this, but I am reconciled to let people look at me for what I am worth!"
