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

To commemorate the building where U. S. Supreme Court Justice Louis Dembitz Brandeis began to practice law in 1878, the St. Louis Bar Association ordered a bronze plaque, scheduled elaborate unveiling ceremonies. Day before the unveiling someone peeked, found that the plaque read "Louis Dembitz Brandies." The plaque-maker worked overtime on his misspelling, had it correct for the ceremony.

As New York's Governor Herbert H. Lehman returned from watching his 18-year-old son Peter Gerald Lehman graduate from Deerfield (Mass.) Academy, U. S. Ambassador to Russia William C. Bullitt landed in Manhattan on his way to watch his 12-year-old daughter Anne Moen Bullitt graduate from The Bement School, also in Deerfield.

Accepting a medal inscribed "Dick Byrd, Gallant Gentleman" from Colonel Henry Breckinridge, Rear Admiral Rich ard Evelyn Byrd told 600 banqueters in Manhattan his future plans. Recalling the six months when he "lay on the edge of life" alone in Antarctic Advance Base, the greying explorer read from the diary he kept there: " 'From here the great folly of all follies is the amazing attitude of civilized nations toward each other. . . . If this attitude is not changed, I don't see how our civilization, as we know it, will survive. ... I feel this so keenly that if I survive this ordeal I shall devote what is left of my life largely to trying to help further the friendship of my country with other nations of the world. . . .' "

In San Francisco's grim Alcatraz Prison paunchy Convict Al Capone called lean Convict Harmon Waley, kidnapper of little George Weyerhaeuser, a "baby-snatcher." Offended, Convict Waley hit the first U. S. Public Enemy No. 1 on the jaw, knocked him down.

Settled by compromise in Hollywood was the court battle between the aunt and parents of Cinemactor Freddie Bartholomew over the guardianship of the 12-year-old star (TIME, April 20). Mr. & Mrs. Cecil Llewelyn Bartholomew agreed to split Freddie's $1,250 weekly income with Miss Myllicent ("Aunt Cissie") Bartholomew, leave her exclusive control of his cinema career.

Cinemactor Charles Spencer Chaplin and his leading lady, Paulette Goddard, arrived in San Francisco from their three-month junket to the Far East, posed blithely with their shipboard chum, scrawny French Poet Jean Cocteau, who is trying to win a bet with a Paris newspaper by equaling the record of Jules Verne's Phineas Fogg in Around the World in Eighty Days. If he wins. Poet Cocteau writes 20 articles for the paper for "beaucoup de francs." If he loses, he writes them free.

From Roman Catholic Archbishop Maximiliano Crespo of Popayan, Colombia, a Chicago gem syndicate bought for an unrevealed sum the foot-high emerald crown of Our Lady of the Andes, containing 453 jewels seized by Pizarro in the 16th Century from the collection of Atahuallpa, last of the Incas. Exhibited in Manhattan, the crown was appraised at $4,500,000 by its new owners, who have been dickering for it since 1914 when Pope Pius X gave permission for the sale. Colombia will use the proceeds to build a Catholic hospital and orphan asylum at Popayan.

"Beast!" cried Cinemactress Ann Harding as she caught a man peeking into her 7-year-old daughter Jane's stateroom when the S. S. Duchess of Atholl called at Belfast. No sooner had the ship reached Great Britain than a flock of British newshawks descended on Miss Harding, almost got into fist fights with chivalrous passengers who went to her aid, forced her into hysterics long before she reached Liverpool. There she sent Jane ashore separately in disguise, narrowly foiled a fake kidnapping conceived by a British tabloid. Wailed Cinemactress Harding at Belfast: "I'll never permit Jane to go on the stage or act in the films. She is to be educated as a lady."
