Linda Christian To Ask Support Hollywood (UPD Actress Linda Christian, second wife of the late Tyrone Power, said today she plans to file a pe tition soon against the actor's estate for $1,300 a month sup port for her two daughters. Such action was set up in the original Power-Christian divorce proceedings. Before she can file such a petition she must be appoint ed legal guardian of the two girls, Romina, 8, and Taryn, 5, her attorney, James Fiz zolio, said in confirming that she would seek the support payments of $650 a month for each child. The guardianship is expected to be granted to day, the attorney said. "Under the original prop erty settlement between my client and Mrs. Power, no spe cific provision was made for child support during their father's lifetime. All the pay ments were alimony, making them tax deductible to Pow er," Fizzolio explained. "In case of his death, how ever, it was provided that the estate would support the chil dren. It is up to the court, of course, to determine what amount is fair for them to receive. ' ' Known, Best liked. Best Selling TV $5 v T BT M PULL-PUSH ffl m 0N0FF III I I MHSoiJKl!
