Died. Isaac Meltzer, fiftyish, known to thousands of U. S. tourists as the hyper-peppy U. S. newsboy at Paris' Café de la Paix, in winter at Cannes and Nice; by leaping from the window of the Paris office of the New York Times...

Most familiar voice from Germany, to most British listeners, speaks daily from Zeesen in exaggerated pip-pip English, caning British high-ups and war policies; deploring the blockade with: "Rehly, you British, it isn't manlah!"
