Two Courts Absolved
Taylor in Paternity
Case, Lawyer Says
By Amo ’ J Pftil
PARIS, June 12.—Myron C. Tay
lor’s lawyer says two courts already
have found that Mr. Taylor, presi
dential envoy to the Vatican, is not
the father of an illegitimate daugh
ter.
Mrs. Eunice Walterman, 35, of
Chicago, claimed to be Mr. Taylor’s
illegitimate child in a suit filed in
Federal Court here Thursday. She
asked a court declaration that she
was, and $2,000,000 damages from
Mr. Taylor and Joseph A. Bennett.;
whom she-accused of conspiring to!
I keep her status quiet.
Joseph M.- Hartfield. New York;
; lawyer, said here last night he had j
defended Mr. Taylor against a.
similar suit in New York and Mrs.
Walterman had lost that case in the
original court and an appeal court.
Mr. Hartfield said the trial had
been held behind closed doors and
at his request the courts had sealed
the papers.
The lawyer, in Paris on business.
! said Mrs. Walterman's claim that
; Mr. Taylor was her father was
! found “wholly false and without
merit.” He said Judge John C.
Knox of the United States District
Court in New York threw the case
out in May, 1947, and was upheld on
appeal by a United States Circuit
Court May 31, 1948.
His story of the case:
Mrs. Walterman said Mr. Taylor
met her mother, a Harlem theater
cashier named Margaret Nichols, in
New York in the summer of 1911
and vanished on learning the girl
was pregnant. She showed a birth
i certificate listing him as her father
| and giving his age as 23 when she
was born.
Mr. Hartfield showed that Mr.
Taylor spent most of that summer
on his yacht or on the Maine coast,
where he underwent an appendix
operation, and was 37 then instead
of 23.
Choir to Present Oratorio
INDIAN HEAD, Md„ June 12
tSpecial).—The St. Paul's Choir of
Washington will present the oratorio,

GM Plans 7-Day Layoff
Of 2,500 at Baltimore
•y th* Associated Pros*
BALTIMORE, June 12. —Nearly
2,500 workers at the two General
Motors plants In Baltimore will be
laid off for seven days beginning
June 21, plant officials said.
The layoff will affect all 1,500 em
ployes at the Chevrolet assembly
plant and all 1,000 workers at the
Fisher body plant.
A GM spokesman in Detroit
blamed the steel shortage “due to
the coal walkout” for the layoff of
200,000 workers there. Officials here
said they expect steel shipments to
be cut off next week, necessitating
curtailment of operations the fol
lowing week.
Featherstone Estate
Destroyed by Fire
Featherstone, 23-room home of
George W. Herring near Wood
bridge, Va., was destroyed in a $50,
000 fire yesterday.
In addition to the main house,
a nearby utility house also was
burned to the ground. Firemen
managed to save a nearby bam.
The Are recalled a tragedy which
occurred at the house about a
quarter of a century ago, when the
former owner, Frank Chambers,
killed himself and his teen-age
daughter took her life after hear
ing of her father’s death.
Mr. Chambers, a wealthy New
Yorker, had developed Featherstone
into an outstanding dairy farm.
Firemen said they believed the
blaze was started by a short circuit.
It burned from about 5:30 to 8:30
pjn. Mr. Herring and his wife were
home when the Are broke. The Ave
Are companies which responded
were handicapped in fighting the
blaze by lack of water. The house
was of frame construction and was
situated on top of a high hill over
looking the Potomac River.
The Occoquan, Occoquan Work
house, Fort Belvoir, Penn-Daw and
Dumfries-Triangle Are companies
responded.
Mr. Herring bought the estate
after the Chambers tragedy. He has
been operating it as a cattle ranch.
He is retired from the Wallace &
Herring lumber Arm in Alexandria
and is a former member of the Vir
ginia House of Delegates.

Advertising Records
Set by Newspapers;.
New '48 Marks Seen
•y th« Associated Press
NEW YORK, June 12.—National
and local advertising in newspapers
set new records last year and are
headed for new records again in
1948 foe the third straight year, it
was shown in the annual report of
Alfred B. Stanford, director of the
Bureau of Advertising of fthe Amer
ican Newspaper Publishers Associa
tion.
Newspapers are showing sharper
gains in national'advertising, the
report showed, than magazines, net
work radio, spot radio, outdoor
posters or farm journals.
Magazines have been the leader
in that field since 1942, but news
papers are cutting down the lead.
National advertising volume in
magazines last year was $416,000,000
| with newspapers second at $369,000,
1000. Newspapers showed the sharp
; est gains and took 31 per cent of
j the national advertising dollar, the
i highest point since 1941, while
magazines for the first time since
i 1941 showed a slight decline in their
share.
Newspapers’ local advertising rose
I
$93,000,000 in 1947 to a record high
of $721300,000.
At the same time, the report said,
newspapers’ unit circulation hit an
all-time high with circulation in
come reaching a record $907385,000
in 1947.
Mr. Stanford, however, cautioned
on local advertising: "Retailers, like
newspapers, face -lowering profit
margins. Hence there is a more
critical need than ever for retailers
to get the most efficient performance
possible out of their investment in
newspaper space."

The President’s order exempts M.
