NORWICH, Conn.,, Dec. 1.-The
Superior Court affirmed yesterday
a Probate Court ruling that Philip
M. Plant died without issue, a con-
tention which had been challenged
by Actress Constance Bennett in be-
half Of her 14-year-old son, Peter
Bennett Plant.
Miss Bennett, asserting that Peter
was her son by her marriage to
Philip, the second Of her four hus-
bands, appealed to the Superior
Court from Probate Court decision
declaring that Mr.. Plant had died
childless and, therefore, Peter was
not entitled to share in a $3.50 900
trust fund created for Philip by the
latter's stepfather, Commodore Nor
ton F. Plant, wealthy transportation
magnate.
Miss Benefits appeal went to trial
two weeks ago, but the case ended
abruptly in settlement giving the
boy $15O,000, less lawyers fees.
In the Superior Court finding,
Judge James E. Murphy said that
except for the payments ordered
under the settlement, 'the decree of
the Probate Court from which
this appeal is taken, is hereby ap-
proved and affirmed"

Initial conversations on the
matter of relative quotas held
last evening proved unaccept-
able Nunneley revealed,
The trouble centers around
Warren Township which is to be
considered part of Wayne Coun-
ty in the event of a drive. Local
leaders feel that if such a move
is made the quota should be
lowered considerably. l. S I
night officials failed to agree on
the proper amount TO be sub.
tracted from the county for War
rem Township.
Nunneley said that when
Warren Township with its
wealth and industry is taken
away, chances of raising an
enormous amount are slim. The
number of Wayne county
residents employed in the town
ship was cited as the reason for
the change.

Father Draft
Starts Today
Boords Begin
Ceiling 3-A's

WASHINGTON. Oct. 1-(R)-
Congressional debate over draft
ing fathers became a purely aca-
demic issue today as selective
service calls began going 10 to
former 3-A's.
Administration leaders con-
sidered accepting as a substitute
for the Wheeler Don't Draft
Fathers" bill which still was be-
ing argued in the Senate, a pro-
posal by Senators Bailey Cd
NC and Clark (D-Mo) to strip
the federal payrools of any mill
tarily useful non-fathers.
While refusing 10 commit
himself, Majority Leader Bark
ley (Ky) expressed the view this
move wouldn't give the Army
more than $4,000 men.
True. that would mean a di-
vision, he conceded, but it might
not necessarily provide "a good
division" and would not make
up for the $4,000 fathers that
selective service says are needed
to fill draft quotas up to the end
of the year.
Already claiming sufficient
votes to reject the bill by Sena-
tor Wheeler (D-Mont) to post
pone the drafting of fathers un-
I'll Jan. /, the administration
swung its guns against a pro-
posal by bipartisan group led
by Senator Taft (R-Ohio).

Marx and Behrman, called TO

Prlmeau, however, related
that, having once been employ

April 13, 1943, one day before
he was scheduled for induction
