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

To the 69th annual convention of the Protestant Episcopal Diocese of Long Island in the Cathedral of the Incarnation at Garden City went Banker J, P. Morgan as a delegate from St. John's of Lattingtown Church in Locust Valley, where he usually takes up the collection. Cornered by photographers with his friend the Rev. William R. Watson, he grumped : "I don't see why they take my picture. They must be a drug on the market by now."

Speaking at Memorial Day services in St. Margaret's Church, London, Rev. Dr. Bernard Iddings Bell, canon of St. John's Cathedral of Providence, R. I., longtime (1919-33) warden of St. Stephen's College, made headlines by declaring: "Let us not be too sure of our Anglo-American friendship. Unfortunately it is only too likely we may fight one another in the future. . . . America is not English. The average American when he comes to visit Europe finds himself much more at home in Munich, Berlin, Rotterdam or Milan than London. There is little anti-English feeling in America but there is little pro-English feeling there."

In Brooklyn the four Schechter Brothers, whose triumph in the U. S.

"Canada in the spring is too, too divine!" lisped honey-haired Cinemactress Ann Harding, With her 7-year-old daughter Jane, she was about to go sight-seeing in Quebec before sailing next day for Europe to fill a British film contract. Suddenly word came that her onetime husband, Harry Bannister, with whom she has been on bad terms since their divorce in 1932, was flying from Roosevelt Field with an abduction warrant to prevent her from taking Jane with her. Swiftly, secretly, Cinemactress Harding changed tickets, boarded the Duchess of Atholl that after noon, was half an hour down the St. Lawrence when Bannister dropped down at the airport. Scowling blackly, the frustrated father clapped his beret back on his head, explained: "I think the mother should have the child, but if she establishes a foreign residence I may never see it again."
