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

The Chicago Tribune, noting that one of Adlai Stevenson's ghostwriters is Pulitzer Prizewinner Arthur Schlesinger Jr., labeled him an "aging boy wonder." Schlesinger, who will be 35 next October, commented: "Oh, God, how true."

Visiting Chicago, young King Feisal II remained in his hotel room, canceled all appointments, including a civic luncheon. A State Department attache explained: the tour of Detroit, with an eight-mile hike through the Ford plant, had left His Majesty "completely bushed."

After a year of airwave conversation, Prince Talal, 22, son of Saudi Arabia's King Ibn Saud, flew to Sardinia to meet a ham-radio pal, pretty Maria Marras, 23, daughter of a Cagliari dentist. The visit over, the Prince gave Maria a present: a new $1,500 antenna for her set calculated to bring his voice in loud and clear.

In Auburndale, Mass., children clapped with glee as they joined the Most Rev. Richard J. Gushing, 57-year-old Archbishop of Boston, on prancing merry-go-round horses. The prelate was playing host to a group of youngsters from a nearby summer camp. Later, on their television sets, thousands watched the archbishop, at a special altar in Boston's station WBZ, marry a Korean war veteran and his girl in the first nuptial Mass ever to be televised.

Prime Minister of Ireland Eamon de Valera, whose eyesight has been failing, flew to Utrecht for an operation by a Dutch specialist. His malady: glaucoma --a hardening of the eyeballs and deterioration of the retina.

Former German Field Marshal Erich von Manstein left the British military prison in Werl on a three-month parole to enter a Kiel hospital and have a cataract removed from his left eye.

The Duke of Windsor, after a bout of stomach trouble in Italy (with diagnoses ranging from gastroenteritis to ulcers), arrived in Paris with another ailment: an attack of lumbago so severe that the duchess and a plainclothesman had to help him off the train and into a waiting limousine, where he sat beside the chauffeur to get more leg room.

Now that her daughter is Queen, with title to the Balmoral estate in Scotland, Queen Mother Elizabeth announced that she had bought a separate summer retreat for herself. The place which caught her eye: 400-year-old Barrogill Castle, seven miles from John o'Groats and 20 miles from the nearest railway station.

The executive board of the United Steelworkers voted to boost the salary of President Philip Murray from $25,000 to $40,000 a year. If the Salary Stabilization Board in Washington approves the 60% increase, Murray will stand No. 4 in labor's list of big moneymen. The top three: George Harrison, of the Railway Clerks, $76,000 a year, John L. Lewis and James C. Petrillo, $50,000 each.

On the beach at Rapallo, Italy, photographers caught a merry picture of Renato Roberto Rossellini, 2, getting a piggyback ride from his famous mother, Ingrid Bergman, treating herself to a holiday after giving birth to twin daughters two months ago.

Near Rapallo, where he has lived for the past 40 years, Britain's famed Satirist Sir Max Beerbohm ("the inimitable Max") quietly passed his 80th birthday. Among his gifts: a privately printed scarlet-bound book containing tributes from such younger men of letters as Robert Graves, T. S. Eliot, Evelyn Waugh and Graham Greene.

In London, Actor Jose Ferrer announced that he would take a couple of seasons' holiday from the New York stage to prevent people from getting tired of his face. "Audiences can see too much of an actor. An actor owes it to them to withdraw gracefully on occasion."

In Munich, a West German denazification court decided that Margarete Himmler, 58, widow of the infamous Gestapo chief, was guilty of being a Nazi offender, sentenced her to 30 days "special" labor and ordered that all her personal property acquired after marriage be confiscated. Himmler's property was confiscated in 1948.

On a fishing trip in the Sierra Nevadas, 60 miles north of Bishop, Calif., former President Herbert Hoover, 78, had a narrow brush with death. Billy Jenny, a 21-year-old vacationing camper, happened to wake, saw that the nearby mountain lodge was afire and rushed to shout a warning. By the time he arrived, the only escape was from the lake side of the house into a motor launch. Out on the safety of the lake, clad only in their night clothes, Hoover, his host, and other guests watched the lodge burn to the ground within ten minutes.
