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

Herbert Hoover in the Saturday Evening Post: "The origin, character and affinities of the regimentation theory of economics and government . . . can best be determined by an examination of the actions taken and the measures adopted in the United States during recent months. . .

"The whole thesis behind this program is the very theory that man is but the pawn of the State. It is a usurpation of the primary liberties of man by government. It is a vast shift from the American concept of human rights, which even the government may not infringe, to those social philosophies where men are wholly subjective to the State. It is a vast casualty to liberty if it shall be continued."

For Nobel Prizeman Dr. Alexis Carrel of the Rockefeller Institute a young aviator designed an improved machine to wash blood corpuscles two years ago. described it in an article in Science, signed "C. A. Lindbergh." Of Charles Augustus Lindbergh last week proud Biologist Carrel proclaimed to friends in Paris: "He has become my best assistant in biology. The name he will leave in that science will be as illustrious as that in aviation."

President James Bryant Conant of Harvard sailed back from a vacation in North Wales on the S. S. Europa, tourist class.

From the World's Fair and Niagara Falls sight-seeing Prince Tsunenori Kaya of Japan sped on to the Grand Canyon. There a woman bustled up to the Oriental nobleman to gush: "I'm sure you know the Japanese boy that works for my sister in New York. No? Well, let me see. I think his name is Fu Manchu or something. ... I was certain you would recall the name."

A penniless Philadelphia musician pawned a gold, jewel-studded, key-winding watch bearing the inscription: "To Benjamin Franklin, in memoriam, September 3, 1783, David Hartley."*

Bainbridge Colby, 64, Wilson Secretary of State, with notebook in hand slowly proceeded through the Ford Building at A Century of Progress, painstakingly copying Ford aphorisms off the walls. Samples:

Overproduction is a money cry, not a human cry ... produce ever more.

Industry does not support man . . . it is man that supports industry.

The recovery we need is of our American spirit of industry.

With one foot on the land, and one in industry America is safe.

Industry is mind using nature to make human life more free.

*On Sept. 3, 1783 David Hartley the Younger (1731-1813), British Parliamentarian, son of Philosopher David Hartley, foe of George III's colonial policy, happily signed the definitive Treaty of Paris, ending the war with the American colonies.
