Miss Ta||ey's Husband
To Fight Decision on
Daughter 'sCustody
Singer Awarded Child,
Now 4, for Nine
Months in Year
Nv the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, July 20.-After a
bitter court fight during which she
and her estranged husband accused
each other of moral turpitude,
Marion Talley has been provision
ally awarded custody of her 4-year-
old daughter for nine months Of
each year.
Attorneys for Adolph Eckstrom,
husband and former voice instruc-
tor of the singer. said he would ap-
peal the decision If it is approved
by Judge Alfred Frankenthaler,
now on vacation.
Calls for $4,000 Bond.
The award, announced yesterday
by Referee Richard P. Lydon, grants
Mr.. Eckstrom custody of the child
called Susan by her mother and
Betty Ruth by her father, for the
remaining three months. 1t pro-
vides that Miss Talley post a $25 900
bond for 10 years to guarantee
terms of the decision will be carried
out.
Ruling on the immortality charges
made by both principals. Lydon held
that although great deal of testi-
mony as to this question was taken,
there is absolutely no proof to es-
tablish any such fact"
Womans Presence Held Improper.
He agreed, however, with Miss
Talley's charge that it was i'm
proper" for Miss Esther Lundell to
live in the four-room Eckstrom
apartment. Miss Lundell testified
she and Mr.. Eckstrom were like
brother and sister, and that she
had cared for the child since the
girl was weeks old.
During the suit Mr.. Eckstrom
contended Miss Talley had shown
little interest in her daughter and
left the baby shortly after its birth

had been kidnapped, like myself,
after being released" in Valencia
We knew by the sounds they made
that there were other men in that
cellar somewhere and I once go'
a glimpse of one of them. He was
crouched down, huddled in old
blankets, and he had q beard that
| seemed to be months old.
Moved Out Several Days Later.
Eventually we were moved out OF
there. It must have been several
days later. This time our destina-
ton was the notorious "Cheka de
Atocha," one of the illegal prisons
that had been set up by the high
Communist official, Cazorla. These
places had a frightful reputation: !:
most people believed you couldn't
come out of them alive. I was alone
In what had formerly been a monks
cell. I slept on the stone floor.
Twice a day somebody outside the
door put some watery mess of beans
in tin plate for me.
Half an hour after I was placed
i'll my cell, somebody yelled through
the peep-hole in the door, who are
you?" Jose M. Escuder," I yelled
back. Nothing happened. Less
than an hour later, they yelled at
me again and again I answered.
This went on constantly, hour after
hour, until long after midnight,
when somebody came in. Stand
up!" he said roughly, and turn out
your pockets" He took all nv
papers and money and every other
belonging. There was absolutely
nothing left that could possibly
identify me, and I knew what that
meant. Every morning bodies of
unknown men were found on lonely
roads and IN the bitches.
l rolled my coat up under nv
head for a pillow and stretched out
fiat on the floor. They had stopped
yelling for my name. I could 20 to
sleep now.
Evidently they found out I was
not important enough to murder,
for, in the morning, I was still
there. Some days later a police Of
ficial sent by the ministry of inte-
rior found us-all except my friend
Andres Min, who was never seen
again. The police official greeted
us with considerable relief, told us
we would be all right now, and re-
moved us at once to more COM
Portable quarters.
Taken Back to Valencia.
Not long afterward, we were
taken back to Valencia, where we
were put in the state prison. We
were given all the privileges of
political prisoners and a great many
extra comforts and liberties be-
sides, for even the wardens felt
that we had no business in Jail, and
treated us as guests.
This was the attitude of practi-
cally everybody we came in contact
with. When it wasn't, we knew it
was a Communist party man, and
even these sometimes apologized.
There were several hundred anti
Fascist prisoners in the Valencia
Jail. We were completely segre-
gated, at our own request. from the
Fascist prisoners, and, through a
kind of shop committee" we pretty
much ran our own affairs.
AS time went on. we learned that
more and more of the Republican
government, the army and the peo-
pie in general were turning against
those who had demanded so many
pounds of flesh in return for the
privilege of selling us Russian sup
plies.

By the Associated Press.

| By the Associated Press.
PARIS, March 8.-Sources close
to Republican Spain's deposed Pre-
mier, DR.. Juan Negrin, now in ref
uge In Paris suburb, said today
he still considers himself the head
of the only legal government in
Spain.
They insisted he had not SUBJ
mitted his resignation either to the
Miaja defense government in Ma
drid or to Diego Martinez Barrio
President Of the Spanish Repub-
lican Cortes Parliament), who Is
Provisional President under the
constitution. Actually Gen. Jose

thrown government who reached
France in four planes on Monday
and Tuesday had escaped capture

Differed About Fate.
These informants differed as to
what might have been the fate OF
the ministers if they had been
caught.
One Spanish spokesman insisted

Negrin and his foreign minister
Julio Alvarez del Vayo, over to Ma
tionalist Generalissimo Franco, along
with Republican Gems Modesto and
lister, In the hope Of securing easier
terms for peace.
Others said Gen. Miaja planned
to place the cabinet and the two
generals on trial for treason.
DR.. Negrin and his cabinet were
meeting at the premiers private
villa outside Albacete Sunday night,
1t was said, when a telephone call
from Madrid informed them a de-
fense junta led by Gen. Segismundo
Casado, acting for Gen. Miaja, had
taken control.
Refused to Accept Orders
DR.. Negrin at once telephoned
Gen. CaSado and pleaded with him
not to ruin our efforts to force an
honorable peace" from the Ma
tionaist. Gen. Casado was said to
have told DR.. Negrin he could no

vited the cabinet to Madrid for a
conference.
From then until Monday after
noon, friends of DR.. Negrin said, the
premier spent his time telephon-
ing various military commanders
throughout Spain to rally them to
the cabinet. but all informed him
they had gone over to the defense
council.
Then in the early afternoon Al
bacete itself declared for the new
government and the cabinet fed

FACTS OF OWN CASE
Letter Reveals Errors Made by
DIR. Simmons.

From a recent letter to Senator B.
K. Wheeler, who has been investi-
eating the university situation, DR..
H. G. Merriam, one of the five pro
fessors whose resignation was re-
quested by the state board Septem-
Der II, is quoted in answer to DR..
Simmons as follows:
''The letter of DR.. Simmons states
of me that I had been considering a
professorship at the University of
Oregon. About three years ago that
university did write me about pos
sible acceptance of a position on its
faculty, but after correspondence the
matter was dropped. From that day
to September Is, 1889, not another
word passed between that institu-
ton and me concerning possible APP
pointment of me to its staff. DR..
Simmons also states that since I
have resigned my case is closed.
His mind does not grasp the fact
that a case of injustice is not closed
until justice has been done. That
statement of his is an illustration of
one aspect of his thinking that dis
qualities him for a university presi-
dency. He is an opportunist purely

worst sort of materials for conscious
ness to use.
Because consciousness is not only
the builder but the building ma
terial. 1t is at onc the sculptor and
the marble. That consciousness
which God imparts, and which there
fore possesses integrity, animation,
wisdom, and affection, is equipped
to rear a princely structure. But
human consciousness, upset by
alarms, anxieties, and animosities,
and therefore supplied with mortal
materials, produces forms and fig
ures which do well if they survive
three score years and ten.
Bodies come and go but conscious
ness persists. 1t refuses to be put
under ground. Eluding the grave it
builds in the hereafter such a body
as it may need to operate through.
You get a hint of this process in your
dreams. The moment you fall asleep
consciousness evolves another body.
Your friends do not see it. You take
it a hundred miles on a visit. 1t has
all its members. You may have only
one arm when awake. You have
two in slumber.
Identity in the Hereafter
Does this not help you to under
stand what takes place when one
falls into the last sleep? Immediate
ly consciousness evolves another
body unseen by anxious friends. The
departed, becoming invisible in the
form we are accustomed to, take on
another form which our dull senses
cannot comprehend. But with vision
quickened by the truths of Christian
Science we shall some day see that
the real man does not come, age,
sicken, or depart. We shall see that
the real man is, was, and will be.
