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

The Duke & Duchess of Windsor celebrated their first wedding anniversary quietly at a Riviera hotel, near the Chateau de la Croe, which they have leased for three years and in which they are now making extensive alterations. The Duke gave the Duchess a bouquet of three orchids-- all that could be found in a strict search of the neighborhood. Then they went on a picnic.

To the delight of jurors in a Los Angeles court, tempestuous, bow-lipped Cinemactress Constance Bennett giggled, made faces, testified that she refused to pay $3,500 for Artist William Andrew Pogany's portrait of her because he had made her: 1) round shouldered, 2) redheaded, 3) thick-thighed; had not shown her red fingernails; had made her look "like a droopy sack of cement with a rope tied around it." Sit-in model for the portrait had been Mrs. Pogany. Snapped Miss Bennett: "Why, that woman is an Amazon!" Snorted 55-year-old Willy Pogany: "She wanted me to compromise with my artistic honesty." The jury, so instructed by the judge, found that Actress Bennett owed Artist Pogany nothing.

Onetime Actress Emmy Sonnemann presented Field Marshal Hermann Wilhelm Goring, No. 2 Nazi, with his first child, a daughter. In his Berlin news-organ, Der An griff, the No. 3 Nazi, Propaganda Minister Paul Joseph Goebbels, father of five, devoted the entire front page of an elaborate extra edition to the occasion, peppered it with such headlines as Goring as a Father of a Family--A Day With Uncle Hermann. Because Field Marshal Goring's first-born is to be named Edda--same as Benito Mussolini's favorite daughter, the wife of Italian Foreign Minister Count Galeazzo Ciano--and because the Cianos are great friends of the Gorings, wags cracked that the child had been born to the Berlin-Rome axis.

At Fort Myer, Va., the Army's Third Cavalry Regiment last week lost its bugler. Plumpish, firm-lipped Staff Sergeant Frank Witchey, 46 (The Army reckons him 48 because he lied about his age when he enlisted 30 years ago), doffed his uniform, retired. With his retirement, history turned a page. He sounded taps for the Unknown Soldier, for many an -Army brass hat, for Woodrow Wilson, William Jennings Bryan, Leonard Wood, William Howard Taft.

In Russia, Carl Carlson, 56, Swedish-born, U. S.-naturalized valet to U. S. Ambassador Joseph E. Davies, learned over the radio that he had won first prize ($150,000) in the Irish Hospital Sweepstakes. Meanwhile, Mr. Davies was unexpectedly received by Joseph Stalin, whom he had never met in his year and a half in Moscow, and with whom he chatted for two hours.

From his cell in Alcatraz Prison Al Capone sent for a Hohner two-tone pitch pipe to keep himself on key.

Sailing in his glider near Detroit, Elmer Zook chose to come down on a lawn rather than a lake. The owner of the place hurried up to rebuke Elmer Zook, instead helped him dismantle his glider, offered to store it in his garage, sent him home by automobile. On the way home Elmer Zook inquired, "Say, who was that guy?" Replied the chauffeur: "Edsel Ford."
