"Names make news." Last week these names made this news:

Bright & early one morning Alexis Mdivani, best married of the three marrying Georgian princelings, left his rooms in London's swank Hotel Claridge and drove out to Ranelagh for some polo. No sooner had he left than his young wife, Barbara Hutton Mdivani, flounced out of Claridge's too, and retreated to a private sanatorium. Her doctor announced that she could see no one, not even the Prince. Thus began the twelfth month of the Hutton-Mdivani round-the-world honeymoon. For the next two days Alexis allowed nothing to interrupt his polo (on a magnificent string of ponies given him by his wife as a wedding present). Said he: "I am not worried about Barbara's condition. I hope to see her as soon as possible." Meanwhile Franklyn L. Hutton, Barbara's father, was speeding for England aboard the S. S. Bremen. Prince Alexis: "It will be impossible for me to return with them. ... I shall be playing polo." On the fourth day of his wife's retreat Prince Alexis drove to Southampton, met Mr. and Mrs. Hutton. "Prince Mdivani is a square shooter and a great fellow," announced Mr. Hutton. They all drove up to London together. Late that afternoon Mr. Hutton was closeted with his daughter in her sanatorium. That evening Princess Barbara left the sanatorium, rushed to the side of her Prince. Said Mr. Hutton: "I only came here to see a dentist about my teeth." Said Prince Alexis: "I wonder how all these rumors started. They cannot say I chase other women. ... I do not drink or take drugs. What is left? Polo." Bright & early next morning he left his rooms and drove out to Hurlingham for some polo.

Corliss Lament, second son of Morgan Partner Thomas William Lament, who used to rate himself "a critical Communist sympathiser," told a Manhattan audience: "We will use violence if necessary to reach the Socialist goal." He predicted the U. S. would be under a Communist government in 25 years.

Into University of Pennsylvania's Barge Club stepped slight, dark Donald Corvelli, the Philadelphia Evening Ledger photographer whom young Franklin Delano Roosevelt Jr. knocked over last April for taking his picture at a Philadelphia prize fight (TIME, April 16). Corvelli's assignment: to take another picture of Camera-shy Roosevelt Jr. as he rowed on the Harvard freshman crew in the Henley regatta. In the Barge Club Roosevelt Jr., grinning hugely, walked over to Corvelli, offered his hand, said: "I meant to write you a letter about busting up your camera that night. I've been so darn busy--but I'll write it, all right." Corvelli grinned, shook hands, got no picture.

Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt Sr. pensioned 60-year-old Negro Charlie Lee. Son of General Robert E. Lee's slave body servant, Charlie Lee was engaged by President Roosevelt in 1902, served him until his death as personal bodyguard, has since been Mrs. Roosevelt's chauffeur. In Lee's home on Sagamore Hill hangs the most famed of Roosevelt's African hunting trophies, the original Big Stick.

"Hooey! Hooey! Hooey! According to this I must have left with my shirttails flying." Thus did Errett Lobban Cord explode at the suggestion that his recent actions were the result of a kidnap threat. His actions: 1) withdrawal of his two sons from St. John's Military Academy in Delafield, Wis., immediately after they had returned from their Easter vacation; 2) closing of his Beverly Hills. Calif. home; 3) sailing secretly for England in April with his wife, his two sons, his two daughters; 4) rental of an estate in Surrey, England; 5) ordering his yacht Virginia to sail from Brooklyn to Southampton, stocked for a year's cruise.

Off to Manchester, Pa. went Senator Frazier & Representative Lemke, coauthors of the Frazier-Lemke bill for the U. S. to assume all farm mortgages, to address a farmers' rally about their measure. They found no rally. Forty miles away 2,000 farmers waited two hours for Senator Frazier & Representative Lemke to address them in Manchester, Md.

In Minneapolis a traffic court judge, after observing that "social or political positions" meant nothing to him, sentenced Minnesota's bumptious Representative Francis Henry Shoemaker to 30 "days or a $75 fine for hit & run driving. Only ex-convict in the House (Leavenworth: 38163; and now a Farmer-Laborite candidate for the U. S. Senate, Representative Shoemaker is also awaiting trial in Washington for his playful habit of bunting other cars about in traffic jams.
