Brooklyn Manager Married
To Actress Following
Her Divorce

LOS ANGELES, Jan. q. -[P-
Screen actress Laraine Day and
Leo Durocher, manager of the
Brooklyn Dodgers, returned here
by plane late today after she had
obtained a Juarez, Mex, divorce
and later was married in Ell Paso.
Tex, to the frey baseball man.
In Ell Paso, justice Of the peace
Charles Windberg, Jr., announced
that he had performed the mar
riage ceremony early this after
noon. Miss Days Los Angeles at
|torney had said earlier that Dtroch-
er had telephoned him they were
married.
Justice Windberg said he had not
confirmed the marriage sooner
because he had been asked to
keep it a secret. Henry Garcia, Ell
Paso county marriage license
clerk. had said he had issued the
license and turned it over to W.
lC. Roche, Ell Paso attorney who
earlier had obtained Miss Days
divorce. Garcia said Durocher had
given his age as 80 and MISS Day
as 26.
Miss Day and Durocher alighted
from the plane at Municipal Air
port, hurried TO a waiting station
Wagon and were Whisked away.
They turned aside reporters ques-
tons regarding the marriage re-
port.
Earlier Miss Days attorney, Ber-
nard M. Silbert, told neWsmen ir
Los Angeles that Durocher had IN
formed him from Ell Paso by tele-
phone that he and Miss Day had
been married. Silbert said he at
tempted to stop the marriage as he
thought it would be illegal.
Yesterday in Los Angeles Miss
Day divorced Ray Hendricks, San
ia, Monica, Calf, airport execu'
tive, on general charges of cruel
ty.
Superior Judge George A. Dock
weller, who granted her the decree
yesterday, was o~utspokenly dis
pleased by today's developments.
"If she is dissatisfied with the de.
cree she obtained here, we are dis
satisfied with her attitude and viii
set it aside" the jurist told re
porters. EITHER she is going te
submit to the jurisdiction of this
court where she swore she was g
legal resident, or, why didn't she
go to Juarez in the first place? Il
her decree here means anything, i
means she must abide by its
terms"
He said these terms forbid Mis-.
Day marrying anywhere in the
world" until the interlocutory de
cree becomes final in a year.
