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

P:To the conviction by a jury in Oklahoma City of the seven kidnappers who held Charles Frederick Urschel, Oklahoma oilman, for $200,000 ransom (TIME. Oct. 9): life sentences by Federal Judge Edgar Sullins Vaught on Harvey Bailey and Albert Bates, leaders of the kidnapping gang, and on R. L. Shannon & his wife Ora who hid Urschel on their Texas farm; a suspended sentence of ten years on the Shannons' 22-year-old son Armon; sentences of five years on Clifford Skelly and Edward Berman, Minneapolis money passers who handled part of the ransom. George ("Machine Gun") Kelly & his wife Kathryn, who had planned to plead guilty to their part in the kidnapping, changed their minds, entered pleas of not guilty.

P:To the announcement three weeks ago that three volunteers were allowing themselves to be bitten by mosquitoes to test whether the insects were the cause of St. Louis' encephalitis epidemic (TIME, Sept. 25): publication of the heroes' names-- Dr. James Payton Leake, director of the investigations; Dr. Louis Laval Williams Jr., authority on the transmission of disease by insects; Dr. Bruce Mayne, English-born expert in malaria research. St. Louis Health Commissioner Joseph Francis Bredeck declared the epidemic over. Toll since July: over 1,000 cases, 194 deaths.

P:To the petition for removal because of illiteracy brought against Hyman ("Hymie") Schorenstein, Brooklyn's Commissioner of Records, fortnight ago (TIME, Oct. 9) : refusal by Supreme Court Justice George H. Furman to act, on the grounds that Illiterate Schorenstein "had fulfilled his duties in a capable manner. . . . What more could a person require?"
