house in Rome, vhere she fled
with her 23-montns-old son from
Baghdad.
Mrs. Subbagh said she escaped
from her 27-year-old husband
Badul Jebbar Subbagh, only
after a hair-raising four-day run
ning legal and physical battle in
which the American consul in
Baghdad was slugged by an
Arab mob.
She called it a "nightmarish
ending" to the romance which
blossomed in Seattle where she
worked for an airlines company
and Subbagh was a student at
the College of Puget Sound.
Doubts Marriage Legal '
They were married in Palo
Alto in 1953, but Mrs. Subbagh
said today she was no longer
certain that the marriage was
legal.
"He led me to believe he was
a Christian, and we were mar
ried in a Methodist church," the
woman said. "I don't believe the
church would have performed
the ceremony if they had known
he was a Moslem. I'm not sure
the marriage was legal.'
Mrs. Subbagh said her hus
band attempted to retain cus
tody of their light-complexioned
son, who will be two years old
next month. But, she said, she
took the child and fled from
Iraq with the help of U.S. of
ficials in that country and a
series of Iraqi court orders.
"I am going to Palo Alto as
soon as possible," she declared.
"I will have to go to work, al
though goodness knows what I
shall do. I don't want to marry
anyone again, certainly not a
Moslem."
Mrs. Subbagh said she went
to Baghdad with her husband
and son 10 months ago to meet
his parents.
Lired Lik Arab
"His family wanted me to live
like an Arab," she said. "They
have no consideration or respect
for women. An Arab wife is
like a servant or slave.
"Women eat by themselves.
My husband at least ate with me,
although his family didn't like
it. But he would go off and leave
me. I was forced to live with his
folks, and it didn't work out
at all. i
'I had to sit on the floor and i
eat with my hands. It was dirty.
I can't live that Way. I
'There is no comparison with
America. We had fights I mean ;
physical fights. He hit me, but
I never hit back. A woman does
not hit a man there."
She said a knockdown drag-

Big Church Houses
Service Once Yearly
Middleton, Wis. (U.R) Only
once a year the big white church
on the hill comes back to life.
The fine structure is empty on
all days of the year including
Sundays but one.
In 1852 104 years ago the
church was organized as the
First German Evangelical Lu
theran Church. In 1947 the
congregation decided to join
with St. Luke's Lutheran
Church.
The congregation, however,
resolved to keep the old church,
to maintain it, and once a year
have a service in it.
aters. '
This "delayed action" record
even beats Howard Hughes' "Jet
Pilot," an air epic made six years
ago with John Wayne and Janet
Leigh that never has seen the
light of the popcorn palaces.;
But Miss Swanson, now in
Paris, is considering making a
new ending to "Queen Kelly"
and releasing it a quarter of a
century later. Recently she had
scouts track down her original
costars, Byron (now doing little
theater work and living in near
by Long Beach) and Miss Owen
(now a TV writer).
"Miss Swansons representa
tive phoned to know if I was
available, but what could we do
now? We'd all look a little dif
ferent if she shot a new ending,"
laughed Miss Owen.
Hours Extended
The movie, she said, took two
years, off and on. to shoot. In
those pre-union days Von Stro
heim had the actors on the set at
7:30 a.m. and often didn't finish
until 3 or 4 the next morning.
Miss Owen remembers she was
starred in a bathtub scene. And
for many sequences she wore
that black lace night dress with
skin-colored tights underneath to
give the impression she was
nude. On her shoulder perched
the white cat. '
Miss Owen doesn't think mo
dern censors will play over this
1928 story of a country girl (Miss
Swanson) in love with a wild
prince because, "Some modern
love scenes I've seen are pretty
fiery."

Finally Got Son
Mrs. Subbagh said she fled to
the American consulate and then
returned to get her son only to
learn that Subbagh had hidden
him.
She said she accompanied the
American consul and three po
licemen who met Subbagh on
the street. A fight broke out
and the consul was struck dur
ing a confused melee involving
policemen and bystinders.
The California woman finally
got her son Sunday morning.
She flew to Basrah, Iraq.
Mrs. Subbagh said her hus
band had her passport, so she
had to get a new one. She sold
her jewelry to raise money.
American officials also ad
vanced her money, she said.
Tuesday she flew into Rome
with her son.
