KEATON ‘SHOWS HIS WIFE WHO'S HEAD OF HOUSE' ‘Dead Pan’ Comedian Takes Children Up in Plane Against Orders. II i United f’rttt HOLLYWOOD, Cal., April 5. Buster Keaton was homeward bound today after an airplane ride which the “dead pan” screen comic said showed 'who was head of the house.” His flight to San Diego with his two children and their nurse

brought him temporary detention for questioning by police, when his wife’s fears for the children’s safety led her to ask authorities to halt them. The episode was explained today as a misunderstanding. Officers who stopped the comedian said he told them he was going “down near Ensenada, Mexico,

and buy a ranch and have chickens, cows and peace so the children can get closer to nature.” The officers acted on instructions lrom Burton Fitts, Los Angeles district attorney, who telephoned them after Mrs. Keaton, the former Natalie Talmadge, conferred with him. Fitts telephoned Keaton from Los Angeles. “I’m just showing her a few' things,” Keaton said when the district attorney spoke of Mrs. Keaton. “I want people to know who’s head of this family. I’m going to Ensenada or some place.” Authorities in San Diego decided there was no reason to hold Keaton longer, so the comedian took h's children and left the station, saying: “Ha, I guess I’m head of my house, after all.” Mrs. Keaton said: "Buster and I argued several times about the children going plane riding. I didn’t want them to go up. But there’s nothing serious about it and it’s all fixed up now. “Buster’s going to drive the children back in an automobile. He said he was awfully sorry.” Fitts said, “It was only a little family dispute,” and added everything is “all right now.”
