Convicted of simple assault & battery were three Warrenton, Va. aristocrats who last June oiled & feathered Washington Society Chit-Chatter Count Igor Cassini, because they did not like his printed references to their families and friends (TIME, July 3). Ian Montgomery, 38, took all the blame, thereby pulled the teeth of the indictment for mob assault, which might have jailed the trio for ten years each. To a court jampacked with Fauquier (pronounced faw´-kee-a) County hunt society, a Fauquier County jury declared the act a misdemeanor, ruled that their fun would cost the defendants $500 (Ian Montgomery...
Last fortnight the British Lion, which since World War II began has been trying to roar like an airplane engine, took off with a movie glorifying Britain's air defenses. It was called The Lion Has Wings. Conceived by Ian Dalrymple, who scripted The Citadel, edited by American William Hornbeck, produced by Alexander Korda at his Denham lot in twelve crowded days and nights, Britain's first propaganda film of World War II was shown first to the Ministry of Information and the censors.

Britain's first air-raid scare produced two flatly conflicting stories passed through the censor to the U. S. before the War Office's own propaganda agency (under oldtime Hackwriter Ian Hay) got out the third or "official version" (see p. 15). Foreign correspondents were driven into a frenzy by the slow and clumsy handling of news of the torpedoing of the Athenia; Britain's feat-of-the-week, the bombings of German naval bases, was announced as laconically as the results of target practice; in line with British belief that false hopes should not be raised...
...swank, fox-hunting Warrenton, Va., Washington Society Columnist Count Igor Cassini (grandson of the late Tsarist Ambassador to the U. S. Count Arthur Cassini) was lured from a country-club dance, tarred & feathered by five aristobrats. Arrested next day were Ian and Colin Montgomery, Alexander Calvert. Reported the Count: "I recognized Ian Montgomery and asked him, 'Why are you doing this to me?' He said I had written in my column that his mother was invited to the reception for the King and Queen of England and that his father had not been invited...
