Names make news. Last week, these names made this news:
In Manhattan, Actress Zsa Zsa Gabor, returning from some cinemaking (Moulin Rouge) in London and Paris, paused long enough to explain why she was rushing back to Hollywood and husband George Sanders (who claimed sourly last year that "I have been discarded like a squeezed lemon"). Said Zsa Zsa: "He's so wonderful. George does not trust me—or rather, he is jealous. This is the way husbands should be, but of course he has nothing to worry about. I love only him."
Executors of the estate of William Randolph Hearst filed an incomplete appraisal of the size of the Hearst empire. Value: $56 million, and probably more when all the figures are in. The latest Hearst holding disclosed: $40 million in nonvoting Hearst Corp. common stock.
In a small ceremony at his home in Günsbach, France, 77-year-old Albert Schweitzer, physician, musician, philosopher and missionary, was presented with the first Paracelsus Medal (in honor of Philippus Paracelsus, 16th century alchemist and physician whose real name was Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim) awarded by the German Physicians' Congress for "outstanding services."
World's Middleweight Champion Sugar Ray Robinson signed a contract that promised to put him in show business. Next month, Robinson announced, he will make his debut as tap dancer and master of ceremonies at a Manhattan nightclub.
Italian Cinemactress Silvana (Bitter Rice) Mangano, visiting Manhattan to help ballyhoo "Italian Film Week," reported to police that her $14,000 diamond and ruby ring had been stolen from her hotel room.
In Washington, World War II hero Maynard H. ("Snuffy") Smith, 41, who won the Medal of Honor for some cool-headed shooting and lifesaving on an Eighth Air Force bomber, was sentenced to ten days in jail for turning in a false report in a suicide hoax. Smith, it was claimed, was trying for some publicity to help boost his chances for becoming governor of Virginia. The hoax: as a young mother pretended to jump from the sixth floor of a Y.W.C.A. building, Snuffy bravely crawled out on the ledge and "persuaded" her to come back.
In Paris, SHAPE Commander Matthew B. Ridgway received from Designer Henri Roger and Engraver Paul Sire a specially struck silver medal symbolizing their protest against "Communist insults" to the general.
