The charge, made by Mari lyn Scott, a switchboard op erator and stenographer, add- j ed to young Crosby's already mounting irouoies growing out of his marriage Sunday night in Las Vegas to show girl Pat Sheehan, 26. Born in 1957 - Mrs. Scott, who was re ported to have used the name of Miller professionally, in pursing a career as an actress, claimed Dennis fathered her daughter, Michelle Denise Scott, born Nov. 24, 1957, at Cedars of Lebanon hospital. The sensational claim brought no comment from father Bing or the Crosby clan. Mum was the word from Dennis and Mrs. Scott after the original claim that young Crosby was a father. Dennis' troubles started a few hours after his Sunday night marriage to Miss Shee han, a divorcee and mother of a six-year-old son, when the couple learned they had been married by a Protestant minister at the Gretna Green Wedding chapel, instead of a justice of the peace. 'Sorry For Mistake Dennis, a Roman Catholic like his father, his twin, Phil ip, and brothers Lindsay and Gary, issued a joint statement with his statuesque bride, an Episcopalian, saying they were "sorry" for the mistake, that they had in tended to be married by a justice of the peace. .. The bridegroom said he would attempt to reconcile the wedding to Miss Sheehan with the Catholic church. He had no sooner said it than Mrs. Scott made her claim.

Paul H. Douglas, (D 111.), for lopping some $200 off car prices got the expected cold shoulder from' the in dustry and warm welcome from the United Auto Work ers Tuesday. Both George Romney, pres ident of American Motors Corp., and a General Motors spokesman condemned the plan for not spelling out how labor costs would be cut to enable price reductions. Tax Cut Proposed Douglas proposed that the federal excise tax on autos be cut from 10 per cent to ZV2 per cent, tnat the com panies cut their prices 34 per cent and the UAW make un specified concessions in its wage and benefit demands. "The hard and inescapable facts are that the impact of past inflationary labor con tracts has not yet spent it self," Romney said, and "the car buyers of the nation need to know that the outlook is for higher car prices not lower car prices." American Motors has al ready called for the union not only to drop its new demands but to give up the annual wage increases provided by the current 1955-58 contract Romney said if the UAW would do this his firm could "avoid further price increases this fall." Referred to Testimony The General Motors spokes man referred newsmen to the testimony of. GM President Harlow H. Curtice before the senate Anti-monopoiy com mittee last winter. Curtice said then that price cuts were impossible with present labor costs. A United Auto Workers spokesman said UAW Presi dent Walter P. Reuther has made proposals similar to that by Douglas and stands by those proposals.

Life of Two-Year-Old Boy Saved by Forced Landing Of Helicopter on Desert Twentynine Palms, Calif .(IP) The life of a 2-year-old boy may have been saved when a helicopter taking him to a hospital made a forced landing and jolted free the nickel caught in his throat. Capt. W. M. Couch, 32, father of the boy, today told how the only helicopter in this area took off from the Marine base with him, his, ailing son and his wife and was forced to land only two miles away'.,- He said that his son, Frank Charles, immediately began breathing better and by the time they arrived in an ambu lance at Riverside Community hospital, 80 miles away, Frank could begin to talk. . Couch said doctors believed the jolt of the forced landing on the rough desert dislodged the coin and allowed it to pass by his windpipe. Frank, as good as new, was released from the hospital several hours later. ', Couch said the boy apparently swallowed the coin while his mother, Mildred, 31, was talking on the telephone shortly before noon Saturday. Frank and his brother and sister, Ted, 10, and June, 5, were playing in the living room when his face went suddenly blue and he began strangling. Mrs. Couch called her husband who summoned a helicop ter from the Marine Corps Air Facility at Santa Ana which was in the area on a routine training mission. Couch said it has not been determined what went wrong with the plane but that it made a "controlled forced land ing." Personnel at the base saw the plane land and imme diately dispatched the ambulance. : Brooklyn, Long Island, was founded in 1645. It was then spelled Breuckelon, Long Eyelandt.
