STILL LOOKING FOR A Woman With 8 Kids Turns Artist Down on Marriage Offer Salt Lake City (UP) Elena LeBaron has turned down Cedric Von Ralleston as a prospective husband, so the red-haired artist said he'd look for a "Hollywood no kids." Mrs. Lebaron has eight young children and is looking for a spouse to support them. She's received 400 applications, but Von Ralleston, arriving by air Thursday from Havanna, 111., was the first to press his cam paign in person. The dutch-born muralist who claims New Orleans as his home said earlier there was only one chance in a million that Mrs. Lebaron would not marry him. He proposed seconds after he got to town. But Mrs. Lebaron decided she wasn't interested in him. "He's trying to high pressure me," she charged indignantly. ' Besides, he's too short." Von Ralleston is about three inches shorter than the Utah di vorce. "I couldn't marry anyone I didn't love," she continued. "So it look like I'll end up the way I am." The flying artist was miffed at the rebuff, besides, he found after surveying the well-filled four rooms of the mortgaged Lebaron home that he didn't like children as much as he thought. His departure should help the chances of Ross Lebaron, the divorcee's mechanic - inventor husband, of winning back Mrs. Lebaron before their divorce be comes final next month. "I still love her and my beau tiful family," Lebaron said, an nouncing he's written a song called "Urn Lame in My Heart" and will give the children the proceeds from it if its pub lished.
