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

Enrolled as a freshman at Lincoln Memorial University, Harrogate, Tenn., was Ann Rutledge, 18, daughter of Donald Rutledge of Ottumwa, Iowa, a nephew of the Ann Rutledge who was Abraham Lincoln's tragic, youthful love. She was working in a WPA theatre project in Chicago when she was introduced to the president of Lincoln Memorial, was persuaded to enter.

To a conference with Franklin Delano Roosevelt at the White House went Walter P. Chrysler accompanied by his local dealer. As he departed, News Photographer Maurice Lanigan snapped his picture, took advantage of the opportunity to complain that his Chrysler car was giving trouble. Automan Chrysler turned to his dealer. Said he: "Fix this man up."

Into the Japanese Navy office in Tokyo trotted a little woman. She laid several pieces of money on the counter as a contribution to Japan's war funds. Said she: "These are Admiral Yonai's teeth." Shocked underlings investigated, found she was the wife of a dentist, had obtained the money by selling gold from the teeth of Navy Minister Matsumasa Yonai after work done in her husband's office. Enthusiastic citizens of Durham, N. C. ("The Friendly City"), gave a dinner for American Tobacco President George Washington Hill, there to inspect his plant. One of the hosts, Publisher Carl C. Council arranged to have his Durham Herald City Editor Bob Mason interview President Hill after the festivities. City Editor Mason appeared, was given no interview, carried away only an impression of a flashily-dressed man in a rich brown suit, bright red tie and pocket handkerchief, cowboy hat. He returned to his office, wrote that President Hill "looks more like a circus barker than a millionaire." Next day distraught citizens had visions of angry President Hill building no more warehouses in Durham, perhaps even moving American Tobacco operations to friendlier cities. President Hill, noted for his penchant for quiet dress, bow ties, wearing his hat in his office, was quick to take his revenge. He sent Publisher Council and other bigwigs of Durham ("The Friendly City") copies of Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People, inscribed in each: "With the compliments of George W. Hill."

In his weekly organ, Der Stunner, Reichspropagandist Julius Streicher announced that Cinemactress Marlene Dietrich, who has declared her intention of becoming a U. S. citizen, is a traitor to Germany. He moaned: "This German-born film actress has lived so many years with the Hollywood film Jews that she has now become an American citizen." When contemplating citizenship, Cinemactress Dietrich said: "America has been good to me."

When a big Royal Dutch Indies Airliner crashed near Palembang, Sumatra, four people were killed, famed Polish Violinist Bronislaw Hubermann broke bones in his left arm and right hand. "I shall never be able to play again," he moaned, "but thank God nothing worse happened to me!" Doctors assured him, however, that since his muscles did not appear to have been injured, his bones would knit, his playing probably would not be impaired. In great artistic anxiety, he canceled a tour of Java and Palestine, planned to go to Vienna for treatment. Week later Violinist Hubermann was in Bandoeng, Java, laid low by an attack of pneumonia that endangered his life.

British Fascist Leader Sir Oswald Ernald Mosley climbed onto the top of a sound truck to address a Liverpool open-air mass meeting of 8,000 people. The crowd shouted, hissed. He gestured commandingly for silence, promptly received a volley of brickbats. Gashed on the left temple and back of the head, he fell, was carted off to a hospital with brain concussion. In the riot which he left, 20 people were injured, 15 were arrested.

Mrs. Sarah Delano Roosevelt, mother of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, returned to the U. S. from Europe, denied that Grandson John had squirted champagne on the Mayor of Cannes. "Poor John,"she grieved, "they should not have invented that horrid story. He is a very nice boy and was with me most of the time. Grandma doesn't like that at all."

In recognition of his Rainbow Arch memorial to World War dead, famed Sculptor George Grey Barnard was created the sole male Gold Star Mother.
