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

Pugilist Tommy Farr, the man Joe

Louis failed to knock out, returned to England, surprised English boxing writers by talking of his earnings in dollars rather than pounds. Explained Pugilist Farr: "There's more of them."

Famed Architect Frank Lloyd Wright,

who once held it would be cheaper to abandon Pittsburgh than try to make it handsome, arrived in Detroit, told Detroiters: "Take your own city, for example. Architecturally, it is only slightly worse than any other American city."

As a result of their recent nocturnal spat in his hallway (TIME, Oct. 4), Secretary Carlotta Monti announced she would sue Funnyman W, C. Fields for $200,000. Said Secretary Monti's lawyer: "She will accuse Fields of breaking a walking stick over her head and belaboring her with a rubber hammer." Snorted Funnyman Fields: "I've been sued before--and by experts."

Aboard the Normandie docking in Manhattan, aboard again 22 hours later when she departed was John Graham Hope de la Poer Beresford, Fifth Baron Decies,

71-year-old Irish peer. Reason for his visit's brevity: Fortnight ago a Paris pickpocket whisked a passport from the right hip pocket of his trousers. Threatened with Ellis Island detention, he roared: "I have no fear of the place. ... I hear they have some new murals."

In Washington, Counsel for U. S. Internal Revenue Bureau John P. Wenchel charged Mrs. Emily Roebling Cadwalader, travel-loving Philadelphia socialite, with having connived with Husband Richard M. Cadwalader Jr. to reduce 1932 taxes, by transferring 400 shares of stock of their incorporated $2,000,000 superyacht Savarona to their attorney. Counsel Wenchel said she "engaged in fraudulent acts and deceptive gestures."

Said Amos to Andy: "Dis lady was tellin' me dat de lady what writ Gone Wid de Win is gointa write a squeal, twice as big and twice as long." Delighted Atlantans rushed to telephone Author Margaret Mitchell Marsh, talked instead to Husband John R. Marsh. Said he: "You can tell Amos and Andy she isn't working on a 'squeal' or a 'sequel.' "

When the Holland-America liner Veendam arrived in the U. S., photographers spotted one Dr. Albert Einstein Jr., a construction engineer in Switzerland. Because he had a famed name they snapped him roundly, then asked, "Are you any relative of Professor Einstein of Princeton?" "Ja," replied Dr. Einstein Jr., "son." A moment later Father Einstein arrived to greet his relative.

Said Benjamin Franklin: "Mechanical thrift for a mechanical age is an essential. The best safeguard for national investments is a nation of investment-minded people. At present, the opportunities for thrift are restricted by the time factor." He was speaking to the Manhattan convention of the Thrift and Security Foundation. He is a descendant of a brother of Patriot Benjamin ("A penny saved . . ."). Franklin, an industrial engineer and business counselor, has a grandson to carry on the name.

Ellen Wilson McAdoo, 22, daughter of California's Senator William Gibbs McAdoo, granddaughter of President Woodrow Wilson, made her professional singing debut as a lyric soprano with a WPA Federal Music Project unit in Glendale, Calif.
