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

Mr. & Mrs. Franklin Delano Roosevelt Jr., sailing near the Roosevelt estate at Campobello Island, were caught in a calm. Caretaker Franklin Calder put out from shore in a motorboat, towed them back. Two days later they sailed from Quebec on the Empress of Britain for a European honeymoon.

The President's mother, Mrs. Sara Delano Roosevelt, arrived in Florence, Italy with Grandson John Roosevelt to spend a week at the villa of Myron Charles Taylor, reformed economic royalist, board chairman of U. S. Steel, rumored last week to be i) about to retire and 2) a candidate for U. S. Ambassador to England.

To 5,000 members of the California Townsend Club, Founder Francis Everett Townsend wailed: "I was offered $200 a month bribe for the rest of my life to lay off the Townsend Plan. But I'm going to keep on fighting . . . until I die."

In New York's Rikers Island jail 44-year-old Socialite Mrs. Madeleine Force Astor Dick Fiermonte visited her husband, 30-year-old onetime Pugilist Enzo Fiermonte. Haled into court to answer a three-year-old speeding charge by police who arrested him while he was tinkering his swank racing car at Roosevelt Raceway, he had received a severe judicial reprimand, a sentence of five days which he spent washing windows.

En route to Europe on a Guggenheim fellowship, Kentucky's Author Jesse Stuart stopped off in New York, discussed the South: "When you eat what you raise and raise what you eat, you don't have to worry about money. We're the lucky ones. I get sorry for the city people. I come up here, and I see them sitting on the stoops, and no wonder they go wild when they lose a job. Mountain people are mountain people and they're different. . . ."

Flying over Greensburg, Pa., en route to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania's Governor George Howard Earle suddenly shouted. "Look out; there comes another plane." His pilot swerved sharply upward, just in time to avoid a collision. For "covering" the Coronation of King George VI for Publisher J. David Stern (Philadelphia Record, New York Evening Post, etc.), Mrs. Huberta Potter Earle last week received $450, first money she ever earned, gave it to the Philadelphia Children's Heart Hospital.

Arriving in New York for a two-month U. S. lecture tour, Rev. Robert Anderson

Jardine explained why he had defied the Anglican Church to marry the Duke & Duchess of Windsor: "I always do what I think meself the Master would do, and I never bother me head over what the authorities say is right. ... I did not come here because I wanted to fill my pockets with money or anything like that."

At a country club swimming pool in St. Louis appeared Ray Woods, the professional high-diver who four months ago fractured his spine in a 187-ft. dive off the San Francisco-Oakland Bridge (TIME, April 5). He could swim with his arms but his legs are still useless.

At the opening of Hollywood's Beverly Hills Tennis Club, Funnyman Charles Chaplin and Tennis Professional Fred Perry teamed to beat Funnyman Groucho Marx and Tennis Professional Ellsworth Vines in a doubles match: score, 6-1, 9-7. Said Funnyman Marx, sitting on his racquet during a rally between Vines and Perry: "Doing anything tonight, Charlie? You haven't got a magazine, have you?"

With his leonine hair cut to a seasonable length, 80-year-old Dan O'Brien, philosopher-king of U. S. hoboes, strode into the offices of the New York Sun, issued a statement: "This darned WPA is ... destroying the qualities that make for success in the genuine young hobo today. Now, I have learned how to live without infringing on the rights of others, but these WPA recruits are being kept at regular work at the public expense. . . . No hobo should go to work until every married man has employment, and also every single man who has to support a family. . . ."
