j Roy Campanella Breaks
Up Housekeeping
NEW YORK, UB — Roy Cam
1 p..nella, the paralyzed former
Brooklyn Dodger baseball star,
said today his 13-year-old mar
riage has broken up.
“This is the worst hurt of all,”
said Campanella.
The other “hurts" were an auto
mobile accident that ended his
playing career in January, 1958,
and trouble his stepson, David,
17, had with police February.
He said at his home at Glen
Cove on Long Island that he had
begun a suit for legal separation
and that papers in the case had
been served on his wife, Ruth,
last Tuesday.
He accused his wife of coming
home late “on many occasions."
“She wants to get rid of me,”
he said bitterly, as his partly
paralyzed fingers, tried vainly to
grip the sides of his wheel chair,
i “She told me I’m of no use to
I her any longer. She complained
that she was tied down to me. So
I’m letting her go. She’s free to
go and do as she pleases.”
Roy’s attractive 38-year-old
wife, Ruth, her face clearly show
ing the shock of her husband’s
separation suit filed last week,
tearfully protested the accusation
she had tired of the former star
catcher of the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Mrs. Campanella denied she
has been anything but a faithful
wife.
“It’s all his imagination,” she
said. “Ever since he’s returned
from the hospital, he’s had a sus
picious mind. He just doesn’t
trust anyone any more. I can’t
take a step out of the house
without his asking where I was
I and who I was with.”

| of Eisenhower, told newsmen he
I had had a private audience with
Pope John XXIII about a week
ago.
The Pope “made me promise to
give him (Eisenhower) his most
cordial and sincere greetings and
tell him how much he thought of
him and what a wonderful job he
is doing in the world,” Swing
said.
