Names make news. Last week these names made this news: Interviewed in Manhattan, British Cartoonist David Low advised U. S. cartoonists to "scrap this Uncle Sam and John Bull business. Your Uncle Sam is no more representative of the American people than my boot or my foot." More advice from the London Evening Standard's piercing satirist: "When you hold a man up as a public menace you lend him dignity. You don't destroy him at all.

"I saw an American cartoon, for instance, which was opposed to Mussolini and Hitler. The cartoonist drew them as huge, huge figures. . . Now Mussolini is a short man, and his large jaw is largely due to a fold of fat that is carefully touched out in photographs. Hitler is not an impressive figure. He has a turned up nose, good eyes, an absurd little mouth and a slightly receding chin. All the opportunities in these two men for very destructive caricature."

To Bulgarian-born Gus Peters, a railroad worker in Falls City, Neb. King Boris III sent 16 bottles of choice wine.

On the Queen Mary, in time to vote, arrived Republicans William Randolph Hearst, in cabin class, and James Bryant Conant, president of Harvard, in tourist. President Conant was awarded an honorary Doctor of Civil Laws by Oxford University with the citation: "a sleuthhound in pursuit of atoms, a champion of free inquiry and free speech."

To exploit Mae West's film Go West, Young Man, eight U. S. newspapers conducted popularity contests to send eight "eligible bachelors" to Hollywood for eight days. Each bachelor was promised an evening with Miss West. Iowa's LeRoy Kling, 28-year-old Cedar Rapids seed & coal dealer, stuttered on arrival: "For 30-c- I'd turn around and go back home. I wouldn't feel this way if I knew what to expect. . . . Why, I only had one date when I was in high school." Bachelor Guy Bassilli from Cairo, Egypt, did not talk for publication. Cleveland's Guy Baker, less shy, demanded on alighting from his transcontinental plane: "Where's Mae? Why isn't she here to meet me?" Cinemactress West was ill with influenza, recovered sufficiently to receive her guests in her boudoir.
