VOWS ARE HELD
NECESSARY TO
GAIN ALIMONY
Divorce and Support Cash
Denied by Judge in
Common Law Mating.
nv SHFInON KEY
BY SHELDON KEY

Mutual promises to cherish, obey,
protect and support must be a part
of a marriage contract, if a wife
expects to collect alimony from her
estranged husband.
This is the opinion of Circuit
Judge Earl R. Cox in a ruling de-
nying divorce and support money
to Mrs. Susie Giggy, 952 Lexington
avenue.
Mrs. Giggy Friday asked the court
to reconsider its ruling which pre-
vents her from collecting SIS weekly
from Marion Giggy, street car mo-
tornan.
She is again fighting to estab-
fish her right to support, regardless
of the informality of the marriage
ceremony.
She alleges she entered into a
common law marriage, by agree
ment, with Giggy June /, 1925, aid
lived with him until shortly be-
fore filing suit for divorce, Oct. 13,
1892.
The temporary support order
which Cox set aside, was entered
on the court record Oct. Is, 1882.
The husband escaped obligation
of support because there was nc
showing of mutual promises
Cox upheld Giggy's contention
that 'the fact they agreed their
union was to be permanent and ex-
elusive of all others is not bind
ing marriage contract
Mrs. Giggy's petition to reconsider
sets forth that IF it is shown that
marriage, however informal, was
followed in good faith by co-habita-
ton, "a temporary allowance must
be granted"

WORLD PEACE
MAY REST ON
BRITAIN, ITALY
MuSSoIini and Macdonald
Meeting This Week Seen
of Vast Importance.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIAIMS,
Scripps- Howard Foreign Editor

Scripps-Howard Foreign Editor
WASHINGTON, March 1S.-With
Europe an armed camp and in the
grip of a virulent epidemic Of war
talk - the Observation-Disclosures
meeting at Rome this weekend is
regarded here as inevitably of world
Importance.
The fate NOT only Of disarma-
ment, but Of European peace, may
hinge upon the outcome.
If Italy and France can be in
duced to bury the Ratchet, and sup
port Great Britain's dramatic bid
for arms reduction and limitation
at Geneva Thursday. the new Nazi-
Nationalist Germany either will
have to abandon her present war
like program and join the general
theme, else find herself completely
isolated.
Fear Hitler's Program
Mostly responsible for Europes
new war scare is the saber-rattling
of Nazi Chancellor Adolf Hitler. He
has demanded arms equality with
France and the rest of Germany's
neighbors, otherwise Germany will
arm herself to the teeth.
Thursday Premier Macdonald
sprang a compromise. He proposed
to allow Germany to double her
present standing army and other
concessions.
If Chancellor Hitler refuses the
proffer of Justice and peace" and
Italy and France stand by Great
Britain, Germany will find herself
once more hemmed in on all sides.
Thus the newborn balance of
power in Europe is now at state.
On one side are Germany, Austria.
Hungary and Bulgaria. On the
other are France, Poland and the
Little Entente.
France Also "On Spot"
Britain and Italy still are on the
sidelines. If Premiers Macdonald
and Mussolini now can agree, they
can sway this balance of power, or
at least pull its teeth, at will.
France, therefore, as well as Ger
many, can be put on the spot at
Rome, automatically speaking.
France, in Premier MacDonald's
new disarmament scheme, is called
upon to make concessions not only
to Germany, but to Italy for the
sake of peace
If she refuses, he warned, not
only would the arms conference be
wrecked, but world peace as well.
With the general lines of Great
Britain's proposals, Washington to-
day appeared in agreement.

4 sounded like a vain boast, for
the underworld's grapevine COM
munication system worked per-
fectly. If one arrest were made,
word of it spread in time to warn
every other member of the syndi-
cate.
Mas disappeared that after
noon, and was not heard from
again for nearly three weeks.
In the meantime, Andrew Man
deis, president of the illegal drug
syndicate, received word from De-
troit that Abe Norzinsky, a big
shot of the Detroit ring, was
coming to New York.
Norzinsky, underground chan
nels reported to Mandeis, was 60
ing to ask permission to add De-
troit to the New York syndicate.
Detroit, hitherto, had been in
dependent; this was made pos
sible by its international connec-
tons and the vast field of oppor-
tunities in the central states.
MandeiS told his pretty wife
Joan about it.
Just a rube," he said. when
he gets among the big timers
here, he'll be easy pickings."
OF course, Mandeis admitted,
the amateur might be able to
convince the syndicate that a
Detroit branch ought to be es-
tablished. If so, fine. But it
probably would be more profitable
to take" Mr.. Norzinsky.
COMMUTERS hurrying through
~ the train gates at Grand Cen
trail terminal one afternoon in
July. 1890, scarcely noticed two
flashily-dressed men, wearing gar
denias, awaiting the 6:10 from
Detroit.
They were representatives OF
Mandeis, a reception committee
for Mr.. Norzinsky.
Mr.. Norzinsky, distinguished also
by a gardenia, found them with
out difficulty.
Hello, boys" he said, Flows
the boss? Where is hep"
over at the hotel. Well show
you the way"
20. x. Wait a minute. I got
something to do. Got change for
a century?"
One of them had change. Mr..
Norzinsky watched the other pas
sengers from his train until an
old woman appeared.
Here you are, grandma" HI
said. Here's fifty dollars. Buy
your boy a present with it,"
Mandeis' henchmen were trou-
bled at the "rubeS" open-handed-
ness.
You can't spread money around
like that" one of them warned.
It's too conspicuous. You'll have
the dicks on us"
Don't worry" said Mr.. Nor
zinsky; shes all right. She's on
her way to get her grandson. His
whole family was wiped out in a
hurricane and she'll need the

I'VE Norzinsky's thoughtfulness.
He hurried to oblige.
There was a commotion at the
door before Mr.. Norzinsky mad
finished speaking.
Mr.. Norzinsky heard the noise
and smiled wider than ever as he
interrupted himself:
Ladies and gentlemen, I have a
little surprise for you. The place
is surrounded by police and fed
eral agents. Don't try the win
dows: there are men on the fire.

And, as the doors swung open:
Il must thank you all for very

The members of the syndicate
were too astonished to move. AS
police under the command of Capt.
Henry Scherb filed into the room
the guests remained seated and
submitted meekly to being
searched.
Mr.. Norzinsky, revealed in his
real identity as N-45, went among
the guests, touching the shoulders
of the men and women against
whom he had evidence.
At the same time other raiding
squads entered resorts on the EAST
side, in Brooklyn, and in Jersey
City and Newark. Before dawn
twenty-seven prisoners were in jail
and at storehouses on Cherry
street and Water street, drugs val
ued at $750,O00 had been seized.
Tell me one thing" said Man
deis as he was being escorted from
the cafe, "how did you tip them

that funds be sent to him at a

report to the chief by telephone
under a code number.

They all laughed, slipped their

played jazz.
When dinner was over, Mandeis
made short address, outlining
