Oops!  I was wrong *twice* - I *do* have a copy of _The Winds of Limbo_ [1970
ed, orig 1965], and there on p. 159:

"Our cameras have succeeded in tracking the escaping spaceship _Pi-meson_,
containing convicts Manny Bloom, better known as the Fireclown, and Simon
Powys!"

Ulp!  Looks like it *is* a coincidence!  Stranger than fiction, etc...
