Court Bars Clerk S Claim
To Mabel Greer Estate
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-Harold A.
Segur, Worcester (Mass.) clerk, has
lost his long court fight to be de-
clared the son out of Wedlock of
the late wealthy Park avenue ma
tron, Mrs. Mabel Seymour Greer.
The court is satisfied that the
petitioner has wholly failed to es-
tablish that he is the issue of Mabel
Seymour Greer" Surrogate James
A. Delehanty declared yesterday in
a 3O0O-word opinion dismissing
segur's claim to the $5oo,Ooo Greer
estate.
Segur maintained in his suit that
he was the son of the late DIR. Will
lard Blossom Segur, Massachusetts,
doctor, and that the physician was
named by Mrs. Greer shortly before
her death as the father Of son
she had borne out of wedlock.
The surrogate, noting that Segur's
suit contended that he was born In
1888, ruled that documents SUBJ
mitted in the case indicated Mrs
Greer was born in 1881 or later, and
it was physically impossible" that
the plaintiff could have been her
son.
Mrs. Greer bequeathed the bulk
of her estate to Harvard College.

Capehart Hits Durr
For 'brazen Attempt
To Sabotage FBI
By the Associated Press

Senator Capehart, Republican,
of Indiana called today for a
congressional inquiry into what
he termed a "brazen effort" by
Clifford J. Durr, a Federal Com
munications Commission men,
ber, to sabotage the Federal
Bureau of Investigation"
Senator Capehart noted that Mr..
Durr, in Chicago speech October
26, had described FBI information
transmitted to the FEC as "baseless
gossip" The. information dealt,
Senator Capehart said, with the
Affiliations of certain applicants for
a radio broadcasting permit
In his Chicago speech, Mr.. DUR
criticized the House Un-American
Activities Committee in connection
with it's investigation of commu-
nism in Hollywood. He added that
some activities of the FBI and mill
tary authorities were far more dan
gerous because they were not out
in the open.
Thorough Probe Demanded.
He said the FBI already was sup
plying the FEC with unsolicited re-
ports on people in radio.
Senator Capehart said in a state
ment:
Il believe that Congress
should make a thorough investiga-
ton of the Durr affair An appro-
pirate committee should question all
members of the FEC, Director j.
Edgar Hoover of the FBI, and any
other persons who may be able to
give pertinent testimony"
FEC Asks FBI Reports.
When no action was taken by the
FEC to repudiate Mr.. Durr's charges,
MI. Hoover announced the FBI
would stop forwarding information
to the FEC.
A majority of the Communica-
tions Commission then asserted its
confidence in the FBI and requested
that Mr. Hoover's men continue to
cooperate with the FEC.
"Of course, we do not want de-
cisions to be made upon gossip or
hearsay evidence" Senator Cape
hart said. But I do charge that
Mr.. Durr was derelict in his duty In
not making efforts to see that tips
or leads furnished by the FBI were
