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

With his wife, two governesses, three military aides and six children, grizzled General Jorge Martinez, commander-in-chief of the Colombian Army, arrived in Manhattan. He set out to see some friends, was stopped by an elevator strike. He started to go shopping, was drenched in a downpour. He went to the theatre, lost two of his offspring. Sputtering General Martinez ordered nine rooms on a transatlantic liner, sailed for Europe in disgust.

By ratifying a "family settlement," a Baltimore court finally ended the lengthy squabble over the $28,000,000 Camel cigaret estate of Zachary Smith Reynolds, who was shot to death during a party at his Winston-Salem, N. C. home in 1932 (TIME, July 18, 1932 et seq.). To his wife of seven months, famed Torchsinger Libby Holman, whose indictment for his murder was not-prossed, the court gave $750,000. To their posthumous child, Christopher Smith Reynolds, 3, went approximately $7,000,000. To Anne Cannon Reynolds, 5, the dead tobacco heir's other child by a previous marriage, went some $10,000,000. To Richard Joshua Reynolds, the dead man's brother, and to Mrs. Charles Babcock and Mrs. Henry Walker Bagley, his two sisters, went the $10,000,000 residue. Before any of it can be transferred, the U. S. will get some $8,500,000 inheritance tax.

Hearing cheers that greeted Herbert Hoover's arrival at Grand Central Terminal, Manhattan, a woman pushed through the crowd to a trainman, asked: "Who is that man?"

"Mr. Hoover."

"Oh," she sniffed, turning away, "I never did like detectives."
