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

Quail-hunting on the Gillisonville, S. C. preserves of Charles S. Haight, Manhattan admiralty lawyer, dapper Jean Tillier,

U. S. manager of the French Line, was severely wounded when his host's shotgun went off accidentally. Carried from the field through swamps and thickets on a litter of branches and gunnysacks, he was taken to a Savannah hospital where it was found that the charge had blown away part of a rib and collarbone, lodged 100 pellets in a lung. He was expected to recover.

When his motorboat was smashed on an Adriatic reef near Pola, the Duke of Spoleto, cousin to King Vittorio Emanuele of Italy, swam back from the safety of the shore to rescue his companion, a Lieutenant Cavalli.

In a speech to Smith College students at Northampton, Mass., Felix Frankfurter, Harvard Law School's famed Liberal, said: "No body of men in the United States works harder than the Senate, or with more intelligence. . . . Bear in mind that what you read is not what Congress does but what it says. You seldom find the quiet, modest, statistical speeches of the gentleman who will be the new Secretary of State, Senator Hull. He has made many such speeches. But let Huey Long get off some stuff and that is front-page material. . . ."

In Chicago. Mrs. Max Oser, daughter of the late Edith Rockefeller McCormick, wife of a onetime Swiss riding master, changed the names of her children, Anita and Peter, from Oser to Oser-McCormick.

A squabble painful to U. S. Jewry developed over the proceeds ($15,000 net) of a charity banquet to be given in honor of shy, universal-minded Albert Einstein in Manhattan March 15 when it developed that Jacob Landau of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency had approached more than one organization before getting American Friends of the Hebrew University in Palestine to serve as sponsor for the feast. Said the Seven Arts Feature Syndicate (Jewish): "Mr. Landau . . . tied up Professor Einstein's appearance and then peddled his offers to various organizations on a commission basis." In the general clamor to find auspices (and an excuse) for the Einstein dinner, everyone concerned seemed to have forgotten that on March 14 the greatest living Jew will be 54 years old.

Bernard C. McGuire. associate of Senator James John ("Puddler Jim") Davis of Pennsylvania, pleaded guilty in Manhattan federal court to violating interstate lottery laws in conducting a Loyal Order of Moose lottery in 1930. He was sentenced to a year in prison. Senior Davis' retrial on similar charges was scheduled to take place this week.

Howell of Nebraska, of "rundown condition" in Washington, D. C.; Roy T. Davis, U. S. Minister to Panama, of stomach trouble in Washington, D. C.; Herbert Nathan Straus, vice president of R. H. Macy & Co. (Manhattan drygoods); after a heart attack in Manhattan.

Trustees of the University of Rochester showed how they felt about Dr. Rush Rhees, their portly, ruddy, white-haired president. Dr. Rhees wished to attend his 50th class reunion at Amherst College next June. But Rochester's commencement would interfere. Though Dr. Rhees had made no solicitation, Rochester trustees voted to move commencement back a week, revising a dozen dates of examinations and committee meetings.

In Seattle, after 35 years, Dr. Ira C. Brown apologized to Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt for twice catching her husband trying to break quarantine to go to her when the "Rough Riders" returned to Montauk Point, L. I. from Cuba. Said Mrs. Roosevelt: "Was I mad!"
