Feared by Coney Island rum dealers as a person likely to appear at any time in a wet bathing suit and gasp for a drink from a gullible bartender, Izzy was particularly successful on Long Island, where it was said thousands of customers were refused service because proprietors were wary of falling for a new Ein- stein disguise. Became Insurance Agent During his eight years as a Federal agent, from 1920 to 1928, Einstein, who later reaped huge profits as an agent for the New York Life Insurance Company, figured in about 4,500 arrests, in 95 percent of which convictions were returned.

Judge J. B. David, Divorce Mill Foe Chicago, Feb. 18 (AP)-Judge Joseph B. David, veteran of more than two decades on Superior and Criminal Court benches in Cook County, and often called Chicago's most colorful jurist, died last night of heart disease.

He was 74 years old and had been confined for five months. Judge David was the center of many controversies with attorneys, civic associations, other courts and county and State officials because of of his pungent courtroom comments. A foe of prohibition and easy divorces during his 52 years as a lawyer and 21 as a judge, the jurist last year unearthed a 67-year-old decision to support his personal fight to keep Chicago from becoming a "second Reno." Such States as Nevada "that ask for only six weeks residence for the filing of a suit for divorce should be kicked out of the union," he opined. Earlier he declared invalid a new law forbidding the naming of COrespondents in cases of marital misconduct. "Nonsensical, idiotic, invalid and void" and usurpation of the judiciary's power by a Legislature that "is going crazy," is how he put it.

He showed great interest in divorce laws and cases. His prescription for avoiding them was: "Love thy neighbor----but not his wife." During the 1933 World's Fair he declined to clamp a lid on some of the hotcha sideshows along the midway. "Let the boobs look if they want to spend their money that way." he decided. When Queen Marie of Rumania visited Chicago, the jurist refused to serve on an official reception committee. Her country, Ire said, was a persecutor of his race, the Jews.
