Romania files lawsuit for paintings Tubularmcm
By Boomer Cardinals
The Associated Press
NEW YORK - Once upon a
time in Romania, Communists
forced the king into exile. But as
he left, he stripped his castle of art
treasures and spirited them
abroad.
Romania charges in a $500 mil
lion lawsuit that the 40 paintings
by El Greco, Rembrandt, Titian,
Breughel, Caravaggio, Van Dyck
and others belong to the country.
Michael, 72, contends that the
paintings are his because the 1889
will of his grandfather King Carol
I bequeathed the art to the Ro
manian Crown, and he is still the
legal king despite being forced to
abdicate on Dec. 30,1947.
The current Romanian govern
ment, which overthrew the Com
munists in 1989, filed the lawsuit
in state court in May. It was filed
here because two of the paintings
may have been sold at a New
York art gallery.
Attorney Pamfil Riposanu,
who filed the lawsuit, said King
Carol's will does not permit any
member of the royal family to
take the paintings out of the coun
try.
The paintings “absolutely” be
long to the Romanian people, he
said.
In court papers filed on behalf
of Michael, who lives in Versoix,
Switzerland, attorney Daniel Ko-
rnstein asked for dismissal of the
lawsuit.

for its name

DING DONG
Dong.
Ten miles south of Killeen, on a
banked bend of Farm Road 440,
sits an inert burg where the most
noticeable edifice rising from the
Central Texas plains also is the
only place of commerce. It is
named, appropriately, “The One
Stop.”
Visitors there are greeted by
the sight of an under-the-counter
refrigerator labeled “Worms" and
a wall decorated by more snuff
signs than, well, more than you
could spit at.
This dormant farming hamlet
got its name in the 1920s from a
sign made for a long-gone general
merchandise store owned by third
cousins I.B. Bell and Z.O. Bell, said
Yvonne Harton, I.B.'s daughter.
The sign showed two bells, one
captioned “Ding" and the other
“Dong." The nicknames stuck,
and the town was thus christened.
I.B. Bell, last of the Ding Dongs,
died in 1990 in Lampasas at age
100, Harton said. And townspeo
ple here say every new Ding Dong
sign that state highway crews
erect is usually stolen within a few
days.
Ding Dong is one of the hun
dreds of towns with peculiar
names that dot the Lone Star state,
stretching from the parched plains
of Notrees, near Odessa in West
Texas, to the righteous red clay of
Fairplay, which is close to
Carthage in East Texas.
The monikers range from the
obvious to the obscure, bizarre to
banal, weird to weirder.
Lots of towns have male
names, such as Melvin, Nolan,
Donie and Brad.
Some towns went a little far
ther and used surnames, too: Ben
Arnold, Ben Wheeler, George
West and Tom Bean.
Special kudos go to Howard
County, itself a given-named enti
ty and home to the communities
of Vincent and Luther, as well as
Otis Chalk and Ross City.
But the big winner is a four-
bagger: Ben Bolt in Jim Wells
County.
Women are represented, too.
There's Alice, Mercedes, Helena,
Diana, Bebe Aubrey, Peggy and
Donna. Collin County, north of
Dallas, has Celina and Anna. Oth
er female-related names: Sis-
terdale. Twin Sisters, Lovelady
and Seven Sisters.
Some town names describe
their location — Brushy Creek.
Plains. South Plains. Flat. Redwa-
ter.
Others are misleading. Grand-
falls is in a desert. Maple sits on
the treeless plains and Big Lake
doesn't have one.
A handful of town names are
verbs such as Rule, Speaks, Grow,
Draw, Tell, Crow and Pine. Others
are commands — Needmore and
Circle Back.
Hungry? Try Oatmeal, Okra,
apeland, F
Grapeland, Pear Valley, Fruitland,
Muenster, Lollipop, Honey Grove
and Pecan Gap.
Some names are tributes to fa
mous people or characters:
Tarzan, Ivanhoe, Wadsworth, Kil
dare, William Penn, and Ben
Franklin.
In the same vein, the Panhan
dle has Conway in Carson Coun
ty, and 55 miles away, Twittyin
Wheeler County.
The famous country singer
took his first name from an
Arkansas town, but Twitty,
named after a settler, is the source
of his last name.
Some names are stolen from
other cities or places — Atlanta,
Detroit, Paris, Pittsburg (with a
Texas spelling), Naples, Manches
ter, Boston, Liverpool, Newcastle,
Scotland, Peoria, Newark, Dublin,
Egypt, Columbus, Amherst, Su
dan, London, Memphis and Mia
mi, Port-Au-Prince.
