HITLER-WAGNER - ROMANE ES BUS SHE DEFIES NAZIS; INTI- MATES OF EACH SAY THAT ~ ONLY FRIENDSHIP suUR- VIVES BETWEEN THEM "Oty Anaoetated Preany BAYREUTH, Germany, Sept. 26.—The rumored romance be tween Adolf Hitler and Winifred Wagner, gossiped about for years, apparently is off. Intimates of each say that only friendship sur- vives. Hitler is so busy with his chan- eellorship and his nazi party that marriage is said to be further from his thoughts than ever. Also, Frau Wagner is one of the few Germans who have refused to bow to a nazi decree. The mo- ment she heard of a radio order which barred Toscanini and some other distinguished American con- ductors from German air waves, she posted to Berlin and bearded Hitler in his den. She told him the radio ban w: a big mistake. Also she insisted that her star Jewish singers, among them Emanuel [List and Alexander Kipnis, must be te- tained. She had her way about the solo- ists. But the broadcast decree held, and Toscanini refused to come to Bayreuth, Outwardly relations continued cordial, Hitler came to the fes- tival here and Frau Wagner gave a reception in his honor. But she paid such a superiative tribute to Heinz Tietjen, manager! of her festival operas, that gossi?/qas second to none in the district. | to j switched from Adolf to Heinz.
