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

In Chicago, testy old (87) Architect Frank Lloyd Wright casually disclosed his latest high-flown fantasy: a one-mile-high, 510-story office building for the Loop. Topped with a 330-ft. TV antenna, it would be four times taller than the Empire State Building. "It's perfectly scientific, and perfectly feasible," he said, brushing aside questions on how he would get 100,000 office workers in and out of the building on time, or what he would do about the planes that cross the area at considerably less than 5,600 ft. "If you're going to have centralization," Wright said, "why not have it!" Told that Chicago's Mayor Richard J. Daley had been cautiously noncommittal about the proposition, Wright asked: "Who's Daley? He couldn't be very bright if he's mayor of Chicago."

Piloted in a DC-3 by Prince Bernhard, who has logged between 600,000 and 700,000 miles and pierced the sound barrier, The Netherlands' Queen Juliana returned home from a vacation on Corfu, where she and her husband visited King Paul and Queen Frederika of Greece. Once home, Bernhard gave his daughter, Princess Beatrix, her first auto, a Fiat sedan, for passing her high-school final exams. Then, at the horse show in Rotterdam, he saw another daughter, Princess Irene, tie for fourth in the National Junior Championships, and with Juliana watching from the stands, took second place himself in horse training.

Attending Venice's 17th International Film Festival, two celebrated women from different worlds met on the city's fashionable Lido, and as they grasped hands, photographers hastened to record the event. The women: Italian Movie Star Gina Lollobrigida and U.S. Ambassador Clare Boothe Luce.

Boston Heart Specialist Dr. Paul Dudley White, whose most eminent patient is Dwight D. Eisenhower, arrived in Moscow to spend ten days in the Soviet Union and "talk with people who are specialists in our field."

In Kettering, Ohio (pop. 38,118), more than 1,000 people, headed by scientists, industrialists and Government officials, honored Charles F. Kettering, a big wheel in the invention of the self-starter, ethyl gasoline and the diesel engine for locomotives, on his 80th birthday. The man who is credited with contributing more to the automobile industry than anyone else said that at 80 he felt "no different than I felt at 40," demonstrated he felt spry enough to take a few turns around the dance floor with Mrs. Charles E. Wilson, wife of his oldtime associate at General Motors, now the Secretary of Defense.

Arriving in New Delhi, U.S. Chief Justice Earl Warren and his wife received a warm, top-drawer greeting as a platoon of Cabinet ministers, a horde of judges and a mass of minor officials swarmed at the airport under a broiling sun and presented the visitors with six bouquets of flowers and batches of garlands. It was a command performance. Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru had been shown a dispatch printed in a U.S. newspaper reporting the cool kiss-off the Warrens had gotten when they arrived at

Bombay, and had the red carpet rolled out. Later, Nehru greeted Warren at a reception and, diplomatically, they were both all smiles.

Reported engaged to Presidential Candidate Adlai E. Stevenson, Mrs. Dorothy Vredenburgh, a handsome Alabama widow and secretary to the National Democratic Convention in Chicago, coyly suggested to inquiring reporters: "You better ask Adlai." Asked, Adlai gallantly replied: "I was never more flattered, but unfortunately there is no truth to it." Mrs. Vredenburgh then turned her pretty head and set sail on the He de France for other climes, murmuring that Adlai "is a great friend and a great man."

Back from a seven-week tour behind the Iron Curtain, Showman Billy Rose announced that he had an "agreement in principle" with five Communist countries for an exchange of about 1,000 entertainers. If the State Department approves the exchange, Russia's Bolshoi Theater Ballet may open in Manhattan on New Year's eve, while Moscow on the same night gets a performance by either the New York City Ballet Company, Pianist Vladimir Horowitz, Louis ("Satchmo") Armstrong, Contralto Marian Anderson or Violinist Jascha Heifetz.

Colonel Harry E. Wilson, 54, famed in the '205 as "Light Horse Harry" Wilson, a Penn State and Army All-America football back who scored six touchdowns and six extra points in seven games against Navy, retired from the U.S. Air Force. He was assistant deputy chief of staff for operations of the Continental Air Command, and in World War II commanded the 42nd Bomb Group.

Leaving behind his Cuban finca, 25 cats, seven cows, several dogs, one screech owl and the stuffed lion's mouth in which he deposits high-priority letters, Author Ernest ("Papa") Hemingway and wife Mary slippe'd undetected into the canyons of Manhattan, enjoyed some semisecret days of fleshpot scouring without revealing his resting place ("I just want to confuse the hell out of Celebrity Service"), made a special excursion to the Bronx Zoo to converse with its two hippos ("I needed Miss Mary around for the grammar"), slipped off as quietly as he had arrived for a sojourn in Europe.

Senator Joseph McCarthy, the paunch-and-jowly look gone, his face pale, eyes gentle, and the familiar roar replaced by soft, conciliatory words, said he had lost 41 Ibs. Present occupation: writing a book on the origins of the (1937-45') war between China and Japan.

Three weeks after she wedded for the first time, Tennis Star Gussie Moron, 32, as celebrated for her lace panties as for her backhand, ended a no-love match and sought an annulment. Said her industrialist husband: "I'm very unhappy about it. I still love her."

Britain's Earl of Sandwich, 81. whose noble ancestor, the Fourth Earl of Sandwich, is credited with inventing the sandwich in the 18th century, accepted an award from the U.S.'s National Pickle Packers Association in recognition of the service that the sandwich has rendered to the consumption of pickles.
