Wo More Marriage for Me, ’ Says Marion Talley

Marion Talley and her former husband, Michael Rancheisen “Fraud and Deception’ Laid to Her German Singing Coach When Annulment Is Obtained. BY CECIL B. BROWN l nited Press Staff Correspondent LOS ANGELES, Jan. 30. —The annulment of Marion Talley’s marriage to Michael Rancheisen ended forever her ventures into matrimony, the famous young former Metropolitan opera singer said today.

Separation from her former German singing coach, whom she married after her sudden retirement at the height of her career, “was the only logical course to take,” she said. The annulment, granted Friday in a Long Beach court, was based on charges that Rancheisen married her under “fraud and deception.” The Kansas singer, who made her debut and sensational success at the age of 17, married Rancheisen at White Plains, N. Y„ July 1, 1932, she said. “Friction between Mr. Rancheisen and my mother and sister began within a month of the marriage,” he claimed. Impossible to Live Together Miss Talley charged in her complaint that the German singing instructor agreed to welcome the mother and sister into their home “with courtesy.” “He did not do that.” Miss Talley declared. "No, there w'ere no specific instances. It just became impossible for the four of us to live together, and there appeared no way to adjust matters. “I never shall marry again. I am not in love now, and I shall see that I do not fall in love again. It isn’t because I am absorbed in my career. That is past. “My marriage is over. Mr. Rancheisen has gone back to Germany.” “We loved one another,” she said. “We w'ere interested in the same things. It w'as my first serious love affair—and my last.” Plans for Future Although when she retired to her 1.600-acre farm in Kansas w'hen she ended her musical career, and claimed “it is the only real sort of existence.” Miss Talley said she w’ould not go back there to live. "I have no definite plans for the future. Really none whatever," she insisted. “I don’t know of any opera role that could lure me back. If I should retux-n it would be to the concert stage. I am not studying music, although my voice is just as it always has been." “Yes, it is true that perhaps I should return to singing out of gratitude to the thousands who like my voice. So many people want me to,” she said. She said she would go back to Kansas in July to witness the harvest at her x arm which now is operated by three tenants.

GOTHAM GANG LEADERS HELD Spitale and Bitz, ‘Big Shot’ Racketeers, Arrested on Murder Charges. By United Press NEW YORK, Jan. 30.—Salvatore Spitale and Irving Bitz, the two “big shots” of New York’s underworld. who figured in the Lindbergh kidnaping case negotiations, were arrested Sunday, accused of engineering a gangland murder committed last August. The two men w'ere taken in custody in dramatic fashion as they sat, at 4 a. m., in a little cellar case in Chinatown. They were in whispered conversation at a table w'hen three detectives, each carrying a pistol, walked in. The place is known as the “Blue Devil.” Spitale and Bitz were forced to elevate their hands in the presence of other patrons of the place. A search of their persons netted tw r o loaded revolvers. At police headquarters they were booked on charges of homicide in connection wdth the “rubbing out” of Antonio Fontanio, who w r as known as "The Champ.” Fontanio was found shot to death, lying in a Mott street gutter last Aug. 25. While Spitale, by reputation, is supposed to have extensive interests in night clubs, speakeasies and upstate real estate, Bitz is a lesser figure, known to police as Spitale’s lieutenant.

*Na tu ral Birth Con trot ’ Is Proposed by Catholics New Theory on Child Bearing May Have Far-Reaching Effects on Lives of Members of Church. By l n itrrl Press CHICAGO. Jan. 30.—A new theory of natural birth control was under close scrutiny today by a group of Roman Catholic phvsicians and officials in Chicago. A combined vote of caution and optimism was uttered by those interested in a study of the new theory, acceptance of w r hich. they indicated, would have far-reaching effects on the lives of believers in the Catholic faith.

Among those high in Catholic circles, who are examining a hypothesis that nature has provided its own means of controlling conception are the Cosmas and Damian Associates, organization of Catholic physicians of Chicago; Dr. Leo J. Latz. Loyola university medical school; the Rev. Joseph Reiner, S. J., former dean of Loyola university; the Rev. John Barrett, superintendent of hospitals for the archdiocese of Chicago; Dr. Henry L. Schmitz, president of the American Gynecology Society and head of the Loyola university gynecology department, and Dr. Louis B. Moorhead, head of the medical board of the archdiocese of Chicago.

Physicians Discuss Matter The theory under examination is that there are regularly recurring periods of fertility and steadily in women unde normal conditions. Leading members of the clergy and medical profession gathered at a seminar under auspices of the Cosmas and Damian Associates for a discussion of the matter. It was emphasized that physicians are at variance over the va- J lidity of the theory, and that it has been shown to be only relatively ac- j curate in practice. The attitude of the church was | explained by Father Barrett. "The Catholic church has been conservative for nearly 2.000 years,” he said. “She has often been slow to place approval on new discoveries. We are proceedingly slowly in this matter. The Chicago clergy is deeply interested in the theory: presented here. No official approval hks been registered. But we shall watch its development wdth close attention.’ Church Permits Natural Spacing Ethics of the church, said Father Reiner, permit the spacing of children by natural means. “Contrary to some opinions,” said he, "the church imposes no law requiring young couples to have children provided there is good reasons such as poverty against it.

Three safes were broken into and S2OO was obtained at the Capitol Paper Company, 221 West South street, Sunday in a week-end wave of business house robberies, which included pharmacies, groceries and filling stations and restaurants. The safes, with shattered combinations, w'ere found by William S. Knight, 51, of 722 East Fifteenth street, w'hen he w r ent to the building to tend a fire. Amount of loss was reported by S. C.

Clothing Store Is Looted By United Press BRAZIL, Ind., Jan. 30.—Four bandits entered the Brazil Clothing Company store here Saturday night and took seventy-five suits, twenty-five overcoats and $l5O in cash.

So long as birth control is practiced by natural means they transgress no law of the church. “It is interference with natural laws that has been condemned by the church. Speaking for myself alone, I am convinced this new : theory is valid and should be given a thorough trial.” The theory has attracted widespread attention in Catholic circles j in recent weeks. It w'as first presented in a bro- | chure issued last November by Dr. i Latz entitled, “The Rhythm of Sterility and Fertility in Women." Seven thousand copies of the volume have been sold since publication. A sim- ! Aar work has been published in New ; j York bearing the imprimatur of ; Cardinal Hayes. The theory is one developed by Drs. K. Ogino of Niigata. Japan, and ; Dr. Hermann Knaus. Vienna. It is the belief of these physicians that except during five or six days of the month conception is impossible.
