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

"Did I meet any geisha girls?" chortled Vice President John Nance Garner as he stepped ashore in Seattle. "I'll have to consult my diary." On the last lap of their two-month junket to Japan, China and the Philippines (at the expense of the Philippine Commonwealth), the Vice President, 17 Senators and 29 Representatives with their wives and children entrained for Washington. At Spokane Junketeer Garner, snugly installed in an upper berth, refused to come down for cameramen, bored deeper into his pillow. One canny photographer focused his camera, stood back, ventured : "I still maintain the only way to catch black bass is on a fly." Up popped a grinning Garner. "And I agree with you," said he. "Shoot!"(see cut).

Four days later the Vice President bowled into the White House, met RFChairman Jesse Jones. Had Texan Garner really appeared before Emperor Hirohito in his stocking feet? inquired Texan Jones. "No, sir," said Texan Gar ner, "they didn't make me take off my shoes." Pulling up his trousers, he ex hibited white socks above his high boots. ''See those? Well, they're the same socks I wore when I left Washington. Yep, Mrs. Garner washed them every day and darned them twice."

Mississippi's loud, stubby Senator Theodore Gilmore ("The Man") Bilbo invited the entire State to a housewarming at his new 27-room "Dream House" at Poplarville. Curious, hungry Mississippians wolfed the Senator's sardines, crackers and grapejuice, bugged their eyes at five gaudy bathrooms including an orchid-&-black one for "The Man."
