Sequels

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

Against the wind on Miami Beach's championship La Gorce golf course, Ohio's three-time Governor James Middleton Cox, 62, who plays in the low 80's at Dayton's Miami Valley Golf Club, smote his ball true for a 230-yd. drive, holed it on his mashie shot for the first eagle two ever made on the 400-yd. 14th hole. At the 380-yd. 15th he put his iron second shot two inches from the cup for a birdie three. Club Professional Willie Klein stammered, "They were two of the best successively played holes I have ever witnessed."

Early one frosty morning in Manhattan, a sturdy gentleman greyed at the temples descended from his suite on the 33rd floor of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel for a constitutional up Fifth Avenue to Central Park and back with a companion. A few people nodded to him. He smiled out of his turned-up collar. On Fifth Avenue someone leaned over a bus rail, shouted: "Howdy, Hoover! How're you doing?"

Strolling with his Detective-Secretary Lawrence Richey for the first time in four years without secret service agents, Citizen Herbert Hoover found much to interest him. A taxi driver offered them a free ride anywhere. "You know," said Secretary Richey, "we had not had a chance to go out and see the town. . . . Many of the old mansions that he knew have gone. We looked at the Rockefeller Center Development."

Friday evening Citizen Hoover had a moment of alarm when he was told of the California earthquake. He telephoned Pasadena, learned that his wife and Herbert Jr. were safe.

Hoover visitors: Ogden Livingston Mills, Patrick Jay Hurley, Walter Folger Brown, George Barr Baker, Republican State Chairman William Kingsland Macy, Edgar Rickard (Hoover financial adviser), unnamed offerers of business connections, many a charitable organization seeking backing.

The touring S. S. Lafayette was held "up in Colon, Panama, quarantined for half an hour, waiting for New Mexico's U. S. Senator Bronson Cutting to get out of bed.

When the Duke of Manchester's second wife, Kathleen Ethel Dawes Montagu, sued through the estate's trustees to get the Manchester jewels, furs and laces from his first wife Helena Zimmerman Montagu, the florid Duke told British reporters. "My trouble is that I've been a mug, always too trustful and willing."

In Vienna Baron Herbert von Popper, nephew by marriage of Singer Maria Jeritza von Popper, was arrested on a charge of stealing a Viennese socialite's $12,000 necklace.

Helen Keller in a syndicated story told of meeting Writer George Bernard Shaw in Lady Astor's London drawing-room. Miss Keller had been deeply affected by Pygmalion and Saint Joan, waited long in a flutter of hero worship for the great Shaw to wake from a nap. When he came, she groped out her hand, felt a hand "bristling with egotism" take it slackly. She: "I've wanted to know you for ever so long." He: "Why do all you Americans say the same thing?" Her companion tapped his words into her hand. Lady Astor put in, ''Shaw, don't you realize that this is Helen Keller? She is deaf and blind." Snapped brutal poseur Shaw, "Why, of course! All Americans are deaf and blind--and dumb."

The teacher of Godfrey Rockefeller, 8, great grandnephew of John D. Sr., at the Greenwich (Conn.) Country Day School, told her class last week to prepare a short story. That night Godfrey slept at a friend's house, plotted an early start West for story material. At 3 a. m.. Godfrey & friend, dressed in sombrero and Buffalo Bill belt, tiptoed out and legged it up the cold & windy Boston Post Road. Soon a police car pulled up, took them to the station house as homeless waifs. After they had given their names and before they were returned to their parents, the two were shown the dark jail cells, shivered and swore they would never run away again.

While Bridge Expert Alfred Maximilian Gruenther & wife sat watching a Baltimore hockey game, the puck lofted over the barrier, blacked Mrs. Gruenther's right eye.

Ill lay: U. S. Secretary of State Cordell Hull, with a bad cold in Washington; Pennsylvania's U. S. Senator James John Davis and President Edward Eugene Loomis of Lehigh Valley Railroad, of appendicitis in Pittsburgh and Sayre, Pa.; President Herbert Nathan Straus of Newark's L. Bamberger & Co. department store, of heart trouble in Manhattan: Dancer Jansci ("Jenny") Dolly, of three broken ribs, a pierced lung and lacerations (motor accident) in Bordeaux.

Sequels

To news of bygone weeks, herewith sequels from last week's news:

P: To Joseph Zangara's assassination of Chicago's Mayor Cermak (TIME, Feb. 27; March 13) ; a sentence to the electric chair ("and may God have mercy on your soul"); in Miami, Fla.

P: To the prosecution of Sam Kaplan, deposed boss of Manhattan's Local 306 of the Motion Picture Machine Operators' Union, for coercion (expelling carpers who wanted an accounting of union funds from which Kaplan drew a $21,800 salary and "gifts") (TIME, Dec. 12); conviction; in Manhattan.

P: To the discovery of $500,000 defalcations from Standard-Vacuum Transportation Co. (Socony-Vacuum tanker line) by Assistant Paymaster William C. Head. 50 (TIME, Dec. 12); a sentence of three to six years imprisonment; in Manhattan.

P: To the U. S. Supreme Court's order last November for a new "fair" trial for seven Scottsboro (Ala.) Negroes sentenced to death on charges of raping two white girls (TIME, June 22, 1931; Nov. 14, 1932); a change of venue to Decatur. Ala. and a defense motion to quash the indictments on the ground that no Negro had been a member of the indicting grand jury. Editorialized Scottsboro's Jackson County Sentinel last year: "A Negro on a jury in Jackson County would be a curiosity, and curiosities are sometimes embalmed."

P: Capt. Anton Heinen, German dirigible pilot, was hired by the U. S. Government in 1923 to help train a crew for the Navy's first dirigible, Shenandoah. Out of Navy employ, he formed a company three years ago in Atlantic City, N. J. to build and sell "air yachts" (small blimps) for $10,000 each (TIME, Nov. 3, 1930). He built & flew one, for demonstration, made no sales. Next week the demonstration ship (104-ft. long, four passenger) will be auctioned in Atlantic City to satisfy a claim for $151.30.
