People, may 10, 1954

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

When Egypt’s billowy ex-Queen Nar-riman got a Moslem divorce from deposed King Farouk last February, she scoffed at the idea of remarrying soon. Her experience in one loveless match had left her all but broke (income: $25 a week), cool toward romance, and minus her son, ex-King Fuad 11,2, who went to Farouk as a divorce bonus. “My wounded heart has not yet healed,” moaned Narriman, 20. But this week, recovered, she quietly took a new bridegroom, Dr. R. Ahdam el Nakib, 27, who, from his null salary earned by running a clinic, had scraped together a reported $287 dowry-in keeping with the old Moslem custom that it’s the man who pays. Narriman needed the money, too. Since February, while Farouk has ranged Italy and the Riviera in lavish quest of earthy pleasures, Narriman and her mother have been taking boarders into their Cairo home.

A Los Angeles court ordered self-exiled Comedian Charlie Chaplin to post a $10,000 bond. Reason: the legal guardian of Carol Ann Berry, 10, Chaplin’s daughter by his onetime friend Joan Berry (and so declared by a California jury after a bitter paternity suit), feared that Chaplin, now living in Switzerland, might renege on his $100-a-month ante for Carol Ann’s support. The State of California, meanwhile, is supporting Joan, a mental patient ever since she was found, barefooted and incoherent, wandering in Los Angeles’ streets last year.

In Switzerland while her husband. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, was partaking of sterner attractions at the

Far Eastern conference in Geneva (see FOREIGN NEWS), Tourist Janet Dulles went sightseeing, was snapshot as she snapshot Geneva’s lighter side.

Shrouded in a heavy veil, Mme. Chiang Kaishek, wife of Nationalist China’s president, arrived by air from Formosa, checked into a San Francisco hospital for treatment of a recurring skin ailment.

In a busy week of handing out honors, Defense Secretary Charles E. Wilson

hustled from the capital down to Winchester, Va., where he was pictured in knightly attitude, kissing the dainty hand of Treasurer of the U.S. Ivy Priest’s daughter Patricia, 17, whom he had just crowned queen of the 27th annual Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival. Next day, Wilson presented the high award for civilians, the Medal of Freedom, to his onetime General Motors aide, steel-tough Roger M. Kyes, who at week’s end left his post as Wilson’s deputy but clammed up about his future plans.

For being the nation’s “outstanding possessor of good foot health,” peregrinating Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas, 55, who raised no blisters on his recent 178-mile Chesapeake &’Ohio Canal hike (TIME, March 29 et seq.), won the American Foot Health Foundation’s an nual award in a walkaway.

Politico James Roosevelt, who is trying to win a California congressional nomination above the echoing din of wholesale adultery charges filed by his estranged wife Romelle. finally won a round in their mud-plastered court battle. A Pasadena judge let Roosevelt change his separate maintenance suit to a divorce action, which Romelle, a Roman Catholic, has caustically opposed because “he has no grounds for a divorce except his desire to remarry.” The court threw two sops to

Romelle: Roosevelt’s letter admitting that he committed adultery with nine women plus another letter offering Romelle half of his property and future income will remain prime props in evidence.

In a Hollywood studio commissary, making luncheon talk, Cinemactor Robert (Knights of the Round Table) Taylor, 42, divorced in 1951 from Cinemactress Barbara Stanwyck, announced that he would marry the beautiful lady at the same table, German Cinemactress Ursula (Monsoon) Thiess, 29. Ursula was photographed looking properly demure before Taylor slipped an outsize diamond sunburst engagement ring on her finger.

At his first general audience since recovering from his 57-day siege with a stomach ailment, Pope Pius XII, borne into St. Peter’s Basilica on his portable throne, was greeted by thousands of schoolchildren who cheered him for ten solid minutes. Earlier last week Vatican officials again dismissed the rumor that the Pope plans to retire to a monastery because of failing health. For the first time, however, they reportedly admitted that he had despondently considered relinquishing some of his duties last February when his sickness was gravest.

Interviewed in Paris by the New York Herald Tribune’s Art Buchwald, Author-Artist Ludwig (Father, Dear Father) Bemelmans told about his shrewd idea for luring patrons to a bar he has just opened on the He de la Cite. His plot: “It is my intention to plant some homing pigeons at the [square] in front of the Cathedral of Notre Dame. I”II clip their wings so they can’t fly, but will have to walk home. When all the tourists who come to see the cathedral and feed the pigeons start following my birds, the pigeons will lead them straight to the bar.”
