Helen's Home. George II and George V, as every Rumanian knows, are firm friends. Last week the deposed King of Greece (still rated a king by the British Court) was in Bucharest with his sister Helen, the divorced Queen of Rumania.

...that the crack was made the other morning in a night club that a certain daily newspaper columnist will be bumped off within six months." Broadway's newswise readers associated this warning not with Colyumists Coolidge, Brisbane, Guinan, Broun or a dozen others, but instinctively thought first of Gossip-Colyumist Walter Winchell (TIME, June 17, 1929). New York has heard before the rumor of threats against his life. Not loath to dramatize his position, Colyumist Winchell himself has helped circulate the impression that "some day. . . ."
