ALBANIA: Zog's Furs
One of the poor men of Europe is Albania's ex-King Zog, who has trouble getting up his rent (TIME, April 8). Last week ex-King Zog, who now lives in a suburb of Paris, had money trouble with another exile. One Arthur Horowitz, ex-Viennese ex-furrier, sued him for $100,000, which, ex-Furrier Horowitz claimed, the ex-King had spent on furs for ex-Queen Geraldine and three ex-Princesses, his sisters. Ex-King Zog replied through his lawyers that he felt under no obligation to pay, since his ex-friends, the Italians, had taken the furs along with his crown, his country and his people.
